a moveable heart

I love starting to read Ezra. After the sad ending of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple, everything is starting over. The promises to use Cyrus after 70 years of captivity to bring the people back are seeing their fulfillment. Ezra 1:5 says,"everyone whose heart God had moved - prepared to go up" I found myself asking, "Is my heart movable?" When God wants to do something big would I be in that group whose heart God had moved? or would I say, "No thanks, I'm comfortable where I am." Those who stayed behind gave to and supported those who went, and they were blessed to that extent, but they did not get to see first hand the great things that God was doing.
