who cares?

I've been thinking about what Bob Hartley said to me...especially when he said about I need to help a brother to come back to the Lord. With tears everytime when I remember this part of his prophesy.

I don't know about God's timing on you, bro; but I surely hope that you know I care about you. I know that you've made some stupid mistakes, which probably got you nowhere now; but don't give up on yourself, don't give up on the calling that God has placed inside of you, bro. So what if others look at you with doubts, so what if others look down on what you did, so what if people talk behind your back...so what? You are a man of God. In you, there is a cry out for more of His glory.
Who cares about church-ianity? Who cares about your history? Who cares about all these stupid religious legalism?
I love you, bro. Just come back and stand at your post once again.
whatever happened to you can never put an end to your calling in Christ. Maybe you think you've failed many; but don't you think our failures can magnify God's mercy and grace. What about "But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."
I could understand that you didn't want to pick up my calls; honestly I've been wanting to call you for a long time. Just listen to your own heart, bro; He will whisper to you with His love when you listen. I don't know what I could do to build up your faith except praying for you, bro.

I love you, man. I've always been proud of you since the day I met you.

Dear God, won't You show Your face to this brother once again? Reveal Your love to him in his dreams. Rekindle this brother's passion over You by showing him Your passion for him. Amen!

I teared up after reading this post, as I remembered that, "you are here because someone has prayed for you, has wept for you, has cried out for you."

What am I doing, not constantly crying out for others, not constantly praying for the losts, not constantly weeping for people who don't know You yet... Jesus, I am sorry, and I repent.
