The heartbreaking compassion that you feel on behalf of your fellow human beings is not an indication that something is wrong with you. You are who you are because of who the Lord is through you. You have seen with His eyes and have spoken with His words; you have reached out to others with His compassion.
The Lord desires you to rejoice in this blessed gift of sharing His heart. Do not view this as a mandate to serve but rather as an opportunity to bless. This is opportunity, not threat; blessing, not burden. When your heart melts, when your compassion flows, when you reach out with Holy hands, you gladden His heart.
The power that has fueled the acts of compassion you have committed in His name has been His love being expressed through your hands, your heart, your eyes. When you meet Him face to face you will find that the dross has been swept away by the Holy Blood and that those acts of love will stand.
The question is not how you can keep your heart from breaking, but rather, how you may be broken in a way that glorifies Him.

Scripture: "...this do in remembrance of me" (1 Corinthians 11:24 KJV).

I absolutely do get this...
Yes, Lord may my brokenness glorify You.
In the name of Jesus, amen.
