I have have heard it said that people don't care how much we know unless they know how much we care. Sharing our stories is a part of caring, because it is sharing our lives. We must be real with people, not try to impress them. And we must allow them the freedom to be real with us. I call it listening with our hearts. Too often Christians see the lost as a conquest, something to be won. We need to see them as people God loves as much as He loves us. And then be channels of that love. If we mastered that our churches would be full and so would the Kingdom of God. I love this. I have have heard it said that people don’t care how much we know unless they know how much we care.

Something about it always soothed me. When I found out how and why the song was written I started getting the same lump at stanzas three and four. Thanks for sharing!
