God Loves the Lost
-------------------

I recieved this word today in worship and felt the burden of the Lords love for the lost who appear to the world as the most hopeless and worst sinners.

I have loved you with an everlasting love. You My children are just begining to understand the depths of My love. You My children have been given only a glimpse of the intensity of My love when you feel My burdens for others. Burdens of love for the saints who are suffering persecution and My love for the lost, the very tormenters of the persecuted. I loved Saul as he stood by and watched Stephen die and I called him out of darkness. Others who kill and are under the powers of darkness I love just the same. There is no difference in My love for them or you. The difference is in the burden of saddness I have for them and My longing to bring them back to Me. This is there choice, there wrong ways greive Me but I eagerly await there return and I run out to meet them when they turn to Me.

Keep praying and let your hearts weep for the lost as you feel My heart weeping.

Be ready to run to meet them and help them to find their way to Me. I love them with an everlasting love. I formed their inner most beings and knit them together in their mothers womb. I await there return to Me. I love My children and feel there sorrow, come to Me all who are weary and heavey laden and I will give you rest.
