Tricky lyric

"Break my heart for what breaks your's..." *

Still got that tricky lyric running through my brain. Seems to have got stuck on a loop.

It's having an effect though. And am sensing things that are breaking God's heart. And yep, poverty's way up there. There's no getting away from it in this place. It's so in your face.

But as I'm going about the day, it's the hidden, unseen things that are getting my attention - the state of my own heart, rubbish attitudes, pride, bitterness, unforgiveness...the things that push me away from God and deprive Him of my company. The things that hold others at a distance and try and shift the blame. And the gossip and silly nonsense that goes on among His kids that's so easy to get sucked into.

So today I'm feeling just a bit contrite. A day of quiet and space to put my heart right.

I knew it would be a dangerous thing to sing on Sunday.

Glad I did though.
