My heart hurts today and my arms are aching to hold my baby. I pray so often that someone will take a few minutes today to hold Jude… to just love on him. With 700 other kids in the orphanage, I’m sure the caregivers are extremely busy! The thought of one of them taking the time to show love to Jude makes me happier than you can imagine!
Then it hit me… All 700 of these orphans are God’s children! The love and desperation I feel for Jude is just a fraction of the love God has for him. The world is full of God's children. So many who are lonely, hurting, and just needing someone to stop being “busy” for a couple of minutes and just show them love. I wonder how that makes God feel. I wonder how many opportunities I have missed because I have been too “busy”. God, break my heart for what breaks yours.
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you." John 15:12
Business can steal so much from us if we let it. Thank you for the reminder! This photo is so moving...the reality of what so many children face each day. Could you share with me where you got it from? I'd love to share on my blog, too. Thank you.
