(below, I am sharing a post from the d'Escoto's blog. I personally know people who have a heart for the lost at their work or other places (which is great!) but they have lost the hearts of their own children (which is so sad!) Remember 1 Timothy 3:12 )
Begin in Jerusalem
And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. ~ Luke 24:47
The late great preacher C.H. Spurgeon nailed an extremely important point over a 125 years ago when commenting on above passage:
"Beginning at Jerusalem, must surely mean begin at home. You know the old proverb, 'The cobbler's (shoemaker's) wife goes barefoot'...I knew a man who used to go out with preachers every night in the week, and try to preach himself, poor soul that he was; but his children were so neglected that they were the most wicked children in the street, and they grew up in all manner of vice. The father was prancing about and looking after other people, and did not care for his own family. Now, if you are going to serve Christ to the very ends of the earth, take care that you begin at home...Dear parents, need I urge you to look to your own children?" ~ Spurgeon...

Please pass on if you think it will be a blessing to someone.
God's richest Blessings!
