I think I've lost some of my compassion.
Or maybe it's just that I need to see someone hurting to really feel it.
But hearing about things doesn't do it for me anymore.
I wonder why that is.
I think I have an idea, but it's sad all the same.
Not so long ago, I was moved by things I'm no longer affected by.
Have I become a cynic? I hope not.
Like a couple days ago at work, a co-worker found out her mom needed to have extensive tests done because at her five year remission check up, things looked a little abnormal.
She broke down at work, and all I could think was, "At least you've had a mother this long; a lot of people don't."
I didn't feel anything for her in the least bit.
I know this is awful of me...
When did I lose that softness?
I want it back.
I need to go spend some time in Africa or Haiti or something.
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?

Ask Dad to soften your heart and to align your emotions with his. You can't beat yourself into feeling something! You don't need to go to another country, you just need to know the Father's heart for yourself and for others :) and, that can happen right where you're at now.
