In a house
of ill-fame lay a poor diseased woman. Various Christian workers visited her
and spoke to her of her soul's salvation. But to no avail. She was unmoved and
untouched. Finally a woman, who was especially burdened -- whose heart was
full of love and compassion, went to see her. As she stood by the bedside of
the poor creature and told of the way of life, tears rolled down her cheek
and one fell upon the cheek of the poor woman. Somehow, that day her heart
was broken up and she found the Lord and was gloriously saved. Later someone
asked her what it was that touched her heart. She replied, "The tear did
it. As I saw that tear fall from her cheek it seem to break my heart and
penetrate my very soul." The Lord save us from coldness and
professionalism and give us hearts of love for a lost world. |
