““Dr. Jowett said, 'We can never heal the needs we do not feel. Tearless hearts can never be heralds of the passion. We must pity if we would redeem.' Feeling and understanding the plight of lost men is critical to our being a help to them. Have we already lost the sense of the grandeur of our salvation? Have our eyes dried up not being able to shed a tear of thankfulness to God for His saving us? We must weep for those to whom we will preach. The needs of the lost will move us deeply. Are we willing to lose our lives for the sake of others? We can pray this prayer to the Lord: 'Break my heart, Lord, with the things that break Yours.””
