The servants heart is what causes change and ministers to even the Christ followers heart. It also produces healing. A person from our Sunday school class came to our house unannounced when we had been in tears due to our daughter getting pregnant, and telling us after almost three months had past. Then telling us she has chosen adoption so we are and still are flooded with emotions. This man's wife had separated her daughter from mine probably because she has been acting out and going down wrong paths. This is the last person we would have thought would come to our house. He then said if she keeps the baby he would offer babysitting and other aid because he has always loved our daughter as he loves his daughter. There is a cultural difference in that he is from India. This model was laid out before us as what Christ really does when he loves a person with action. It is one thing to say I will be praying for you. The common brush off that we Christians pull when we are too busy to STOP and listen or do. The impact is still lingering and that was over a month ago. You cannot impact change sitting in the pew or your house. Patience is key. This is very true. The servants heart is what causes change and ministers to even the Christ followers heart.
