I can feel it stirring in me again

In January of 2007 God arrested my heart for Northern Uganda. I was a very self absorbed american (i find that i still am for the most part….sadly) that didn’t pay much attention to anything other than what I was doing. Want to know how I justified it? I work for a church and helping people and worshipping God is my job. I am paid to have heart for people. It wasn’t until God showed me what true depravity looked like that I got it. There are people who worship God that literally need Him to provide or they won’t eat, be healed or live. That wasn’t me. I don’t want for much. I have been able to selfishly attain whatever I want materially. That wasn’t enough for God. He wanted me to understand what it meant to be completely reliant on Jesus and following Him completely. While I will admit that I don’t understand it as I should…. my eyes are being opened.

I still have my heart for Uganda, but my heart is now stirring in a direction for those being taken advantage of in the sex trade. Hundreds of thousands of young men, women and children are being prostituted for another’s gain. Innocence is being stolen all over the world and there is little that we have done to stop it. God is stirring in me the unstoppable movement that He did when He gave me Uganda. If I do NOTHING am I a contributor?
