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 />
