Romans 9:1-3

I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience confirms it in the Holy Spirit—I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers…(NIV)
I was reminded yesterday that my eyes have been dry for my unbelieving friends. Lord, give me the “sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart” for these souls. This is the heart of Paul. This is the heart of Christ.
