These are ...Oh, Rebecca, I'm thankful for this. These are things that I've been wrestling with and trying to reconcile as well. I'm right there with you. I am experiencing the very same things, feeling the same ways, and asking the same questions. I'm looking forward to walking this road with you through this blog series. <br /><br />The Bible says much about the poor and the Christian response...now, we are living in the midst of it and must respond. Each of us will choose to either harden or soften our hearts (whether intentionally or by default). I'm so thankful that Christ intentionally didn't harden His heart towards me, but instead lavished grace. May my response be the same as His. "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma." Ephesians 5:1-2. Oh, Lord, in this life, help me to be a fragrant living sacrifice that is pleasing to You (Romans 12:1).<br /><br />Oh, the depths of this topic!<br /><br />-MeganMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01195763312757820008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8761021607791540207.post-34010385927489091322011-10-02T23:20:54.091-07:002011-10-02T23:20:54.091-07:00Rebecca, I love these posts and I've got a mil...Rebecca, I love these posts and I've got a million words bubbling up that don't fit in this comment box very well. But I want you to know how much I appreciate what you are saying here - both because I feel it myself and also because I've become more desensitized to it than I should be. Guess that's how I cope. That's not okay, though, so thank you for forcing me to see again and for making me feel all nice and uncomfortable again! Ha!<br /><br />Can't wait to talk about this with you in person in two weeks :-) I'm going to link your blog on mine...just so ya know!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283318892908103928noreply@blogger.com
