Move me

When I heard these words, I sat down & wept & mourned for days; and I was fasting & praying before the God of heaven (Neh. 1:4 NASB)

Part 2 of vision is vision must move us to action.  Here Nehemiah was so moved by the news he had gotten that it broke his heart.  I wonder how many things really break our hearts anymore.  We might feel bad about it for a minute but did it break our hearts enough to move us to action?  We might even wish someone would do something about it but what about us?  Are we broken hearted enough to be that someone?  Do we hope the country will turn around or are we moved enough to be part of the change?  Does all of the unborn children who are "aborted" everyday move us enough to speak up?  Does the violence & drug use motivate us to help be the change?  Are we alright with the apathy & sometimes downright disdain toward Christ or do we want to help others know Him?  It's up to us!  First you must have the vision, then you must be broken hearted enough to move.
