this warning seriously. How many more cars, clothes, toys and
trinkets do we really need before we wake up and realize that half

Turn through the pages of this book. Look at the faces of
these beautiful children God is weeping over. The Lord is looking
for those who will share His heart. Open your eyes and look at
the reality that is before you.
Remember what Jesus said, “Whatever you did for one of the
least of these brothers of mine, you did for me” (Matthew 25:40,
emphasis mine). This means that whatever we do for the least of
these, whether good or bad, it is as though we have done it for
Christ Himself. In other words, the beggar Lazarus sitting neglected
in front of the rich man’s gate was, in reality, God lying
there.
When we hear about the millions of suffering, hurting children
in the world, let us not look the other way. Each one represents
our Lord Himself.
Jesus Cares
Over and over in Scripture, we recognize God’s heart for
those who have no voice, for the captives and the oppressed.
There is a divine passion for them, a heavenly desire for their
well-being, because God prizes them highly and His heart breaks
to see them suffer.
The Scripture is crystal-clear about God’s heart for children.
The best place to look is at Jesus, because He is the exact representation
of the Father’s nature (see Hebrews 1:3). Jesus Himself
