"Break my heart for what breaks Yours"

“Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?” Ezekial 33:11

When I read this Scripture, I just felt the crazy passion that our Lord has for us and I was blown away. I think a lot of the time, we just forget about how God feels about the lost. How would YOU feel if you created beings to worship you and they didn’t even care about you? I don’t know God as well as I want to, but I think that when God sees a lost person, He doesn’t only think about how much He wants them to worship Him (that is the reason why we are on this earth after all), but I think He also thinks about how they aren’t getting the best out of life. And I know that God wants us to get the best out of life. (“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10) and I think it breaks His heart.

As I was looking at this Scripture, it was like God was telling ME the same thing….”Turn! Turn from your evil ways!” I have been praying for a while now that God will “break my heart for what breaks His.” [Hosana by Hillsong] That is my heart’s desire, but my flesh is fighting it. Every time I sin, it breaks God’s heart…every “little” lie, every judgemental thought I dwell on, every mean word, etc…  if God is my Best Friend, how come I break His heart so easily sometimes? I want that to break my heart to the point I would do ANYTHING to keep from breaking God’s heart.
