What Can I Do?

The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. - Albert Einstein

Have I put my heart on ice? How can I see what is going on in our world and not weep? I read the headlines, yet I don't always have empathy, I stand by and listen, yet I don't always feel. Is that right? Is it a protection because I would be weeping all the time, or am I cold?

I am caught up in my own little world, I go about my business day by day, yet there are people in my neighborhood who are lost and I have the message. The nursing home in town is full, yet no visitors have come to see eighty percent of the residents, why don't I go down there? I've thought about it, but I haven't. Every town has the poor in it. I have been to a classroom and seen the child who was unkept, his pants were too short and his hair was dirty, maybe I could do something. What about the grocery store, I've seen them. I am opinionated, I think I know, yet I don't, I wonder if I knew the whole story, if it would change me and the way I think. Once in awhile something touches me in a way that I have to fight back the tears, but more often than not....my heart is on ice. I have really been examining my heart, my self and asking if there is something else I should be doing. I guess if you read yesterday's post, you know I feel like I guess I really need to take inventory and ask myself...why I am not weeping daily. Why am I not praying for our land, for our country like I should. His Word is written on my heart, yet sometimes I know I am cold, I sometimes can read about things going on in the world and it touches me and sometimes it doesn't, it should at least move me to pray, I think.

Psalm 40:8

I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart."
