Like me, I am sure that when you hear about the suffering of<br />

these downtrodden children, their parents and their families, you<br />

want to change their circumstances. You want to comfort them<br />

in their pain.<br />

I feel sad about those early days when I didn’t see these lost<br />

children the same way I saw my own. I was blinded by my own<br />

agenda, so busy in the ministry that I couldn’t see the face of<br />

Christ in theirs. But then God in His mercy helped me identify<br />

with His heart for those who have <strong>no</strong> voice.<br />

And <strong>no</strong>w my prayer, like many before me, is that the Lord<br />

would break my heart with the things that break His.<br />

“I realized that God loves me, and I also have<br />

started to love me. I thank God who has brought<br />

me so far.”<br />
