Burdened and Broken

Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;
and he that winneth souls is wise.

"I remember, when I have preached at different times in the country, and sometimes here, that my whole soul has agonized over men, every nerve of my body has been strained and I could have wept my very being out of my eyes and carried my whole frame away in a flood of tears, if I could but win souls" - Charles H. Spurgeon

How broken were you this past year for the salvation of others?  Study is a great asset to our witness.  Prayer is a great asset to our witness. But weeping may be the greatest asset to our soul winning. Jerry Vines said, "I've seen tears do what wisdom could not". 

Let us pray today that we would be burdened and broken for lost people. So broken that we couldn't focus on their sin, but their need for salvation only found in Jesus Christ.
