This is one of my favorite lyrics from the song "Hosanna" by Hillsong United. Actually the whole bridge of this song is amazing:
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I walk from Earth into Eternity
The first time I heard this song it just shook me. I'm not sure why but it was at Concert of Praise for New Life and in the background they were playing a powerpoint and there were images of people helping others in poor countries and it just made me sad to think of how many people are truly in need. Not just in those countries but here.
There's this person whom I love dearly. And because I love themI want to share my faith with them. But every time I try I get scared, I think because I know their not ready to hear it. Hopefully though, if God wants me to share it then he will give me the words to say and the right motives for doing it.
Then Moses said to the Lord “O my Lord, I am not an eloquent man, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant, for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.” The Lord said to him, “Who gave a mouth to man, or who makes a person mute or deaf or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? So now go, and I will be with your mouth and will teach you what you must say.” [Exodus 4: 10-12]

Always remember that the only thing we can do in this world is to preach His word through speech and deed. We cannot soften people's hearts; this is the job of the Holy Spirit.
And yes, Hosanna is a really good song. ;)

Hi, unrelated to this post, but regarding the "Books I am Reading" list that you have.
I pray that the LORD give you discernment to see what is the spirit behind "Power of Now" - Eckhart Tolle. It is not of God. It is a strategy of the enemy of our souls to take God's Word and make it mean something besides what God intended. If you look, this man uses the very same words that God uses... however, he ascribes a very different meaning to them, leaving you with a "form of godliness but without God's power." Ask whether he professes that Jesus is Lord! Then test the spirit.
If you are a Christian, please do not be deceived by the reading of that book. God bless.
