Do You Have a Dislocated Heart?

As I get older and know God better, more and more I desire to see people have a transformation in their life like never before. Loving people, from all walks of life, with brokenness, baggage, lifestyles, religions, becomes very much the best mission ever. Not a project, but instead very much loving the people you are to love when God puts them in your path.

Please note that this is not an interpretation of the scriptures, but rather my personal reflections for prayer based on the passages.
