DO YOU NEED A TENDER HEART, LIKE MINE?

DO YOU NEED A TENDER HEART, LIKE MINE? Do people around you hurt and you not feel it? Do you ask how someone is doing and never listen to their answer? Do you avoid someone with tear filled eyes because you don't want to get involved? Do you step back instead of forward when someone needs a ride? Do you have a prepared excuse in mind, when you think you will be asked to lend a helping hand? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, you are suffering from a serious case of callousness. "Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground"... Hosea 10:12 (KJV)  This hardness is a self centered crust that forms around the soul of man, causing him or her to refuse to lay down their life for anyone. A single day of passing by broken people  without touching them, can start the process. If the days move to weeks and weeks to months, the crust can become so thick, that people can be plunging into a burning hell all around you, without you uttering a word of warning or shedding a single tear over their eternal death.  Please please please, do not ignore My proclamation, for if you do, you have no hope. ..."Solemnly I declare to you, in so far as you failed to do it for the least of these (in the estimation of men) you failed to do it for Me. [46] Then they will go away into eternal punishment, but those who are just and upright and in right standing with God into eternal life." Matthew 25:45-46 (AMP) Going to a church while avoiding being involved in meeting the needs of others, is a sure way to become religious. Religion forms the hardest crust known to mankind, a heart so hard that it will seal your doom for eternity.You must pray this prayer, "Lord give me compassionate heart like yours"! Now, there are two ways for Me to get you back to a compassionate heart, the easy way and the hard way. Even the hard way is still better than going to hell. The hard way is by Me breaking your heart over and over until it becomes tender and soft. Are you heartless toward the homeless? The easy way is, You can share your life with them voluntarily, which will soften your heart and break up the crust. Or we can do it the hard way, I can bankrupt you, put you on the streets with them and break your crusty heart that way. It's amazing how fast a hard heart softens, when you walk a mile in another man's shoes. ... "If anyone has this world''s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him? [18] (Do) ... "not love merely in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity)."1 John 3:17-18 (AMP) Think everyone in prison deserves to be there and you could care less what happens to them. That attitude will guarantee you a permanent eternal cell. ..."I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me with help and ministering care." Matthew 25:43 (AMP) I can read your mind, you are saying "if this is Jesus talking, where's the love"? My friend it's behind the prison bars with the least. Remember what I said, ..."whatever you desire that others would do to and for you, even so do also to and for them, for this is (sums up) the Law and the Prophets." Matthew 7:12 (AMP)  If you give your junk to the poor and keep the best for yourself, I assure you, I will see to it that in your time of need, someone else's junk will come your way.   That goes for everything My child, everything! Have you forgiven everyone? Then your sins are forgiven. "For if you forgive people their trespasses their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. [15] But if you do not forgive others their trespasses their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment, neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses."  Matthew 6:14-15 (AMP) The following exception caused many once tender hearts to harden. I would much rather you break the rule than develop a hard heart, but I must share it at the risk of your possible doom. If you wait on Me each day,  I will guide you to those whom I have chosen for you to help. Many are they that cause their own plight through, pride, disobedience, foolish choice, or laziness. I will sort these out for you and deal with them. Here are My orders ... "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat. [11] Indeed, ... some among you are disorderly ... they are passing their lives in idleness, neglectful of duty, being busy with other people's affairs instead of their own and doing no work. [12] Now we charge and exhort such persons as ministers in Him exhorting those in the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) that they work in quietness and earn their own food and other necessities." 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 (AMP)        You can start fresh today, but keep in mind, you cannot tell Me how you want to be treated, I won't listen. Today you are going to show Me how you want to be treated. It's a law of the kingdom, "What ever you send into the lives of others will come back into your own". You say, "I don't have enough compassion", ok how do you want Me to tenderize your heart, the easy or hard way? You must choose  or you will be separated to the left with the goats, your eternal destiny depends on it!
