This blog is about today's devotion in the book Hearing from God Each Morning by Joyce Meyer.
Today's devotion was about not taking a worldly view on things and being desensitized to the suffering in this world. Watching too much graphic television or learning to think about tragedies in the matter-of-fact ways that the news portrays them are not what God wants from us. He wants us to feel for the suffering of others in this world and pray for them.
Back in January when the earthquake in Haiti happened, everyone on the news and everyone in my church kept going on and on about how terrible it was. I was wrapped up in my own world and didn't feel anything about it. I even remember praying to feel something because I hated not feeling anything for all of these people.
It's easier for me to feel for individuals than it is for me to feel for whole nations, and I know that isn't what God wants for me to feel. I'm not as desensitized as I was back then, but I still need to work on it.
