Thoughts of the night...

Tonight my heart breaks for a little boy who needs physical healing so he doesn't hurt anymore. Tonight my heart breaks for a little girl who needs spiritual healing of the heart because she doesn't believe. Tonight my heart hurts for the neighbor who will spend Christmas without his family. Tonight my heart for my girls who just want to b loved. Tonight my heart sees the sacrificial giving of a friend and her family cuz they know others are suffering worse. Tonight my heart hurts for a man that loves Jesus and needs to find his peace. Tonight my heart hurts for a woman who is being hit at every angle and just needs to believe. Tonight my heart hurts for my students as I want them to know the true me and my truth. Tonight my heart hurts for my coworkers who need a touch. Tonight my heart hurts for my family because we miss each other so. Tonight my heart hurts for my friends as too many are hurting around me. Tonight my heart hurts...tonight my GOD heals!
