No Longer a Slumdog C.S. Lewis put it very well when he said, “The more often we feel without acting, the less we will be able ever to act, and, in the long run, the less we will be able to feel.” 2 We have now walked together through almost all the pages of this book. You have started to feel the pain and anguish of these forgotten lives. I assume your heart was touched as you read the real-life accounts of the Dalits, the OBCs and especially their precious children. Please don’t close your heart now. Don’t start to numb the pain you feel for these suffering, helpless children. Please love them. Love them in Jesus’ name. You and I did not ask to be born and raised in the circumstances and comforts we have. You too could have been born destitute in one of the slums of Calcutta or in a Dalit family in Bihar. You could have been that little slumdog, blinded and turned into a street beggar. It’s true, you might even have been sold into the sex business and died long before your 20th birthday. God in His mercy gave us the privilege of living our lives with the freedom and blessings words can’t describe. Just remember Jesus’ words: “From everyone who has been given much, much will be required” (Luke 12:48, nasb). There is no need to feel guilt and self-condemnation for the blessings we have. Instead, let us choose to see this challenge as an opportunity to be like Jesus in our generation. I think you will agree, once in a while God tries to break into our normal lives and tell us something important. He brings a matter to our attention that tears at our hearts, maybe even brings us to our knees. But then, sadly, so often that is all that happens. Although it consumes us for a little while and we can’t 136
make your life count These children now have hope. stop thinking about it, eventually we start to explore something else and forget. Because we see and hear so much nowadays, soon our hearts stop hurting. We get used to things as they are. But that is not the way of Jesus. Christ was the One who saw the multitudes and wept. So many times as I learn and relearn the reality these children face, I again realize that for too long I missed something important. So I cry out, “Lord, what is wrong with me How could I possibly forget” I get so caught up in my day-to-day activities that weeks and 137
