Powerful Moment (in the shower?)

I've been getting up early (5:00am) to workout on the eliptical machine before work.  Wednesday, I did NOT want to get up!!!  It was the LAST thing on my mind, but I ended up doing it anyway.  While I was in the shower, I started praying for my youth kids and students I had just seen on a DVD called "Gospel Journey Maui".  All of the sudden, the presence of God filled my bathroom and I began to cry.  The Lord told me that many of the people I was praying for were running from him, just like I was running from trying to workout. 

How many of us know someone who is running from the Lord?  I would venture to say that almost all of us do.  Perhaps in many ways, we could be running from the Lord ourselves.  The greatest thing about our Lord is that he CHASES us!  What's more is that he wants us to chase others for Him! 

When was the last time you seriously prayed for someone in your life who is running from God?  When was the last time you took moments out of your busy day to chase someone who needs love or needs to know more about our amazing Lord?  God really broke my heart on Wednesday for a lot of people that I care about, but had not been too serious about praying for.  Will you let him break YOUR heart too?
