Jesus' Heart for the Broken and His Desire to Raise up Lovers

Jesus' heart is for the poor. Many of my heroes are those who have allowed the Lord to break their hearts for the broken ones. Those who have spent years sitting among the poor, feeding them, bandaging their wounds, and loving them. Oh what an invitation we have as lovers of God to enter into the heart of Jesus. How He loves the forgotten ones of society - the outcasts, the orphans and other needy children, widows, and elderly. For it is these who are His inheritance and His reward. Jesus' heart of justice is so alive for these that He is looking for people who He can poor His heart into.What better reward can we have then just knowing that we helped to usher in and bring forth Jesus' inheritance by bringing His healing and touch to those less fortunate. For me love is a supernatural thing. Anyone can be "fake nice," if you know what I mean. The more we sit at the feet of Jesus, the more we will experience the love that we will fully know in eternity. It is a love that brings humility and brokeness. It's true - we can encounter the love that is in heaven. There is nothing on earth like it. In Revelations, it speaks of a river flowing from the throne of God that will bring healing to the nations. Jesus wants to make us into lovers and from that position make us those that bring healing to the nations (our families, co-workers, neighborhoods, cities, etc.).

What an incredible invitation! Raise up lovers!
