He Fills

The day I started loving Him on the inside, everything started spiralling out of control.  He started showing me His heart for those around me and I had to put down my pack of self-righteousness so I could partner with Him in shouldering His burden for the world.  Sometimes it breaks my heart and I just want to find a way to end all the suffering around me.  But most times it fills my home with extra mouths to feed and souls to love.  It fills my time with cards and emails and phone calls of encouragement.  It fills my mind with dreams and questions of what is to come.  And it fills my heart with hope, empathy, purpose, and joy.  

Lord, I want to see greater things than these.
