Jesus & Issues Everyone Faces - Disciple Makers Series #18ናሙና

Compassion for the Lost - and the Wayward

Thoughts on the message

Take children [physically and spiritually] and their needs seriously – God does.

Take dealing with sinful practices seriously.

God’s presence is powerful. He allows the angels that guard children to have direct access to Him – to protect the little ones. He has a heart for children because they are so vulnerable and accepting. He seeks them. He calls to them and draws them to Himself.

Also, He is in the midst of people trying to deal with problems – bringing correction or releasing forgiveness. We need His heart for these things as well as having His authority to deal with them. Do not be afraid to deal with issues that require discipline. However, be careful. God requires that we have His heart in this area. Take time to pray, take time to wait on God so that we not only know what to do but when to do it. God is often a lot more patient with people than we are – just remember Judas.

Prayer

Father, I find it difficult to see Your heart in the middle of difficult situations. I get my emotions, my timeline, my perspective into the situation; instead I need Yours. Give me Your heart for the people, the situations and the solution and its timing. Without Your perspective, I will get it all messed up – and not have Your presence or authority to deal with it correctly. Give me this I pray, in Jesus’ name Amen.
