When was the last time you wept for your city?

This is a video my good friend Brian made over a year ago. I remember watching it and being overwhelmed with emotion and conviction. Today, as I was wasting time on youtube, I came across this video once again. Just like it did the last time, I was overwhelmed with emotion. I might have cried over my city since that video, but still my burden to see a lost and dying world come to a knowledge of the love of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made on behalf of each of us... it still more times than not gets pushed away with busyness and pride and I don't speak, I don't weep for my city near enough.

This morning as I was spending time with the Lord, I was reminded that I am a personal witness of Christ. Acts 1:8 says "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. A great quote I found from Charles Spurgeon says that, answering a student's question, "Will the heathens who have not heard the Gospel be saved?" replied, "it is more a question with me whether we, who have the Gospel and fail to give it to those who have not heard, can be saved." I do not want to be that person. I must go to the world and share the personal truth of what the cross of Jesus Christ did for me.

Oh Jesus, give me the boldness and opportunity to proclaim the love of God to a hurting soul.
