Do I Really Care?

I have been asking myself this question a lot over the past few years.  “Do I really Care?” I mean do I care about the broken hearted people of this world. Do I care about the people who are hurting?  Do I care about the homeless?  Do I care about the disenfranchised?  Do I care about the gay?  Do I care about the girl who had an abortion?  Do I care about the people that church has said “screw you” to?  I mean these are legitimate question that I asked myself because I know that as I christ follower I not only need to care about these people, but I have to.  God requires it, and yet my answer to these questions continue to disappoint me.  See if your answers are anything like mine.

I tithe to my church!

I go to small group!

I help out extra when I can!

I’m busy so I really don’t have time to do anymore!

These are all the answers I give when I ask myself if I really care.  I really disappoint myself when I read these answers because from the bottom of my heart I want to change the world FOR CHRIST.  Yet I all to often appear to not even care the way I am meant to.  I guess this is what it means for Christianity to be a process.  I’m growing, and I wonder if anybody else feels the same way as I do.

Please share your thoughts!  Let’s help each other grow!
