Romans 9:1–5 NASB95 1 I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit, 2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh, 4 who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises, 5 whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

Accursed - Greek anathema, something given up or devoted to DIVINE CONDEMNATION or destruction.

What can't you CHANGE and it breaks your heart EVERYDAY?

LOSTNESS, especially among the Jews, broke Paul’s heart everyday. 

John 1:1 NASB95 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Colossians 1:15–16 NASB95 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.

Exodus 32:31–32 NASB95 31 Then Moses returned to the Lord, and said, “Alas, this people has committed a great sin, and they have made a god of gold for themselves. 32 “But now, if You will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out from Your book which You have written!”

Application:

1. Ask God to give you NEW EYES to SEE others the way He does.

2. Pray that He breaks your heart over the lostness of your FRIENDS, FOES, and the PRIVELEGED.
