Be A Seer

Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city. Lamentations 3:51

Jeremiah looked at his city--the need, the desolation, the devastation--and was moved by what he saw. Jesus, looking at the multitude and their need, was "moved with compassion." Sometimes I think we, as Christians, walk around with our head down. How can our hearts ever be stirred if our eyes never see the need? And how can we see the need when all we're looking at is ourselves, our little circle, our "movements"? Lift your head! Open your eyes! Expand your line of sight! Christianity needs more believers who will open their eyes to the hurt and need around them, open their ears to the cries for help and hope...and let their hearts be affected.
