Sometimes I wonder how am I supposed to tell a child I love them if they don't even know what love is? How do I expect them to trust me if all they have ever known is broken trust? How am I supposed to tell a child about the love their Heavenly Father has for them if they have never experienced love from their earthly father? These are the types of things I have encountered and learned while working with the precious children living in Creekwood. I've decided I have to prove and earn the ability to love them and have their trust.
See the thing is I believe they were all created in God's image. My whole being cries out in desire for them to know this. I wish they knew how much I love them and the prayers gone out for them. I want them to know so bad that God created them for a purpose and wants them to fulfill that purpose. I long for them to feel his love. Because the God that knows every hair on their head desires to lift them out of the dust and into his glory. For we must know sorrow to be able to fully appreciate joy. Joy costs pain, but the pain is worth it... After all, the murder had to take pace before the resurrection! Jesus does not ask we care for the less fortunate, he demands it!
Matthew 25:40- "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sister of mine, you did for me"
