Pain In Me

Why are most Christians consumed with achieving material things?

I realize that when one comes close to Christ, he/she receives a certain revelation of Christ which is uncontainable. We would wish we will have more time, energy and wealth to help facilitate the propagation of the message of the cross which brings   transformation. 

We all wish we have adequate resources to help cater for our daily needs so we can focus on building a lasting kingdom of God. 

God has laid on some people's heart to bring hope to the orphans and street children but this can't be done without physical resources. Though God promises to help and send helpers our way, but must we go through ordeals just to give hope to people?.

One main reason why God blesses us is so that we can be a blessing to others. We are whatever we are so we can be embodiment of inspiration and example to others. We are to be a sign to those who do not believe. But how can these things be, when we can't seem to have enough for ourselves, let alone others. 

What will I achieve if I gain the whole world and make no impact. My righteousness is not for me alone. My integrity and honesty is to bring hope and life to the hopeless..I can't just sit there when people are dying without hope and living without faith...dream shattered...why can't God just meet all my needs so I won't spend all my time chasing things that won't last...I want to spend my life building things that have eternal value...hope, joy, peace, love...

Most Christians are so crazy about making money and it's relatives...we need the money, we need the materials... But how do we get them..without being distracted...this is a pain in my heart...

Do you want to know?

If you want a heart of sympathy,then pray to God to help you see the world that Jesus sees. But be careful what you ask Him for. Because, if you're going to open that door, There's no going back to before

Once you see a mother who can't feed

The baby that cries on her arms

Your heart will break and you'll lay awake. No, sleep won't come quick anymore. So do you want to know.

You pass him on the way to work 

He holds a sign beside the curb

You look away and avoid the hurt because why should you be held responsible. Besides, he'll probably just spend it all on cigarettes and alcohol. But once you see that the man on the street has a name and a family like you, your heart will break and you'll lay awake because you'll understand God loves him too. So do you want to know. 

Oh no, if you want a heart of sympathy, then pray to God to help you see, but once you see a world that's in need and a sorrow you just can't ignore, your heart will break an you'll lay awake, because you'll know you could do so much more.

Do you want to know?

After I walk past one of them, then I ask, who should be responsible?, the socialist will say the government, but my Bible points directly at me. 

Do I really want to know? 

If God really opens my eyes to see this world the way Jesus sees it, will I turn back? 

We sing about bringing hope to the hopeless. We read about defending the fatherless...but do we really know what we know? 

Because once we know how people are dying in pain, just looking for a family...friend ...or probably love..
