Sleepless nights

So I recently read about effective witnessing techniques. It talked about if you go out and leave "gospel tracts" lying around where people might find them, then you could go to bed at night with the sense of self-satisfaction that you've planted seeds for the Kingdom.

I couldn't believe what I'd just read. If you truly and honestly had a heart for the lost you would cry yourself to sleep at night, thinking of all the souls you didn't reach.

Jesus wept for the city of Jerusalem because of its unbelief. Jesus didn't leave "gospel scrolls" lying on the money changers table, He didn't give his waitress a fake shekel with her tip that had His message on the back of it. He went into people's homes, got into their lives, and into their hearts.

I pray that God will give me a heart that breaks for the lost. A heart that always asks what more could I have done. A heart that is never satisfied.
