"143 million orphans in the world", What do you think when you read or hear that? I sometimes have a hard time comprehending just how big a number 143 million really is, but it is not just a number. 143 million = 143 million lives, 143 million children without a mommy or daddy, 143 million hearts desiring to be loved. 143 million does not include the children that are not accounted for, those children who do not have a place to stay each night and are roaming the streets. Now when you read or hear "143 million orphans in the world", what do you think? My heart breaks for these children!
Please pray about how you can help the 143 million orphans in the world. Not everyone is called to adopt a child, but we all are called to take care of orphans. James 1:27 says, "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world".
Please consider what your part is to look after orphans. Should you adopt, should you help those who are adopting, should you commit to supporting organizations that take care of orphans?What are you called to do?
In HIS Grip,
David
