True story: I met a woman who was sponsored as a child by Compassion International, and within minutes of hearing her story, I noticed years of unacknowledged cynicism and suspicion towards missional organizations began to unravel. In an attempt at discernment, I’d become distorted. This startled me, and I immediately began to repent to the Lord for my hard-heartedness! I’d been haughty and arrogant, thinking I’d discerned the hearts of men when only God can do that, thinking I had total command over “my” resources when God’s plan has always been to bless his people that they might bless people. Another problem: I’d been so nervous about and disgusted by saviorism that it prevented me from trusting my Savior. Whew. (More on that another time. This is worth unpacking.)
