A friend of mine recently shared a story about his father and his failing health.
One day my friend was leaving his father’s home and gave him a hug. His father had on a tee shirt so the hug revealed that weight had been lost and how frail he had become.
My friend commented “I could feel his frailty.”
I had an instant picture of his father’s situation.
I believe the first step of revival is feeling the frailty of people who haven’t surrendered to the saving grace of Jesus. We don’t just know about their brokenness – we feel it. We share it.
This is one reason St. Paul said
“For the love of Christ controls and
compels us, because we have concluded this, that One died for all, therefore all died; and He died for all, so that all those who live would no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and was raised for their sake.” II Corinthians 5:14-15, Amplified Bible
