High on a mountain
Watching a city,
Two million people
Down in the valley,
Causes me to see
Very differently.
The higher we go
The closer we get
To God’s point of view.
He wants to show you
Life fresh and made new.
When I have stood on that mountain and looked at that city, I’ve become aware of God’s great love for the people. I’ve prayed for them and felt my own heart fill up with love for them.
Near the end of His physical life on earth, Jesus looked down on Jerusalem and cried (Luke 19:41-44) because the people He loved so much didn’t receive Him. I believe Christ cries today as he knocks on hearts’ doors and people ignore His knocking. (Revelation 3:20)
Open wide the door of your heart and fully surrender your life to the risen Jesus. He will lift you higher than you can imagine. You will see life very differently. You will supernaturally love and have great compassion for all people–even your enemies. (Matthew 5:44)
