Dear God

 
Dear God,
 
Children
From Burkina Faso to Sri Lanka
El Salvador to Peru
 
Hunger aches like a beast
No clean water
No doctors or nurses, classes or
Hope
 
Families that love them
Hurt for them
Are desperate for them
 
Lord,
Help me
Help us
Be the change
For one
 
Help us to live 
Because you died
 
Living is breathing life into others
Spraying a light into the world
 
Living is sacrificing
Enjoying the suffering as Paul did
 
Living is courage
Battling for Your Kingdom
Loving unconditionally
Fighting for lives
 
Lives of our brothers and sisters
 
Lord, let there be a revival in our hearts
Let children be sponsored
One by one by one
 
Oh Lord, wreck us.
Break our hearts for what breaks Yours.
 
Amen.

  2. Found your through Compassion Bloggers and am blessed by your story. While I'm not exactly ready to be a Mommy yet, adoption has always been something that my soul desired. I could never justify bringing babies into this world when there are so many already in need of loving homes. I will continue to pray for your family (present and future) and look forward to following your journey.

    Much love,
    Kaity
