Wow! 40 days have already flown by. I have been so blessed by all of you and your fellowship. I have heard some amazing stories of how God has been at work during this journey toward a life of active compassion. I have seen God’s people here in this place rise up to meet a challenge and it has been life-changing.The dictionary defines the word "epiphany" as a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.
That's not a bad description of what has happened over the last 40 days for many of us. We have prayed for open eyes, hearts, hands...and God has answered those prayers in a huge way.
Experts say that it takes 21 days to change a habit. For some, turning a blind eye to those in need has been a bad habit we’ve needed to change. Well, we’ve had 40 days to change that habit into a habit of trying to see how we can help...rather than just pass by. None of us wants to slip back into the habit of crossing to the other side of the road and passing by.
It is my prayer that we will continue this journey. I pray that God will bless you richly for your active compassion.
