I was reading 2 Cor. 6:1-10 this morning and verse 10 jumped out at me.  

"Sorrowful yet always rejoicing." 

When we are involved with those in crisis: the hurting, struggling, oppressed, we enter a world of sorrow. As the heart of Jesus pours out his compassion and mercies through us, we are caught up in such emotional drama that it can sometimes weigh and drag us into melancholy. Oh but as He touches their mind and hearts, and we share in His presence, we can't help but leave rejoicing!
