I've asked God to give me the compassion He has for people.  I believe in the past I knew who I was comfortable with and that is who I called ministry.  I feel comfortable going to India and holding the children in my arms.  Ask me to walk the streets of New Orleans with people where I would normally drive through the neighborhood with my car doors locked, now that's a different story.  I think we often walk in our comfort zone too much.  We stereotype people before asking if this is someone who Jesus would spend time with.  I believe we all have gifts and talents and while I find it easier to minister to youth and young adults is that all I am called to minister to?  When Jesus walked the earth, His compassion was so deep He ministered to everyone:  sick, children, elderly, tormented, rich people, outcast.  He was called to all!! 

Lord help me to have that same compassion.  To see people as you see them, to be an outstretch of who you are.
