This week we have about 45 kids that have come to stay with us for 5 days. We have been teaching them Bible stories, music, dramas,…basically it is a VBS. Most of these kids haven’t had decent food to eat or a shower in a very long time. Unfortunately, some of them even have to deal with sexual abuse in their homes. This place is a safe haven for them, where at least, for 5 days, they can feel like a kid. They can have 3 meals a day, play on a playground, wear clean clothes, take a shower everyday, and go to sleep in peace and not have to worry about someone violating them…simple rights that every child should have. It makes me sick to my stomach to think, that these beautiful children, have to leave here and go back to where they came from. The only thing that gives me peace, is that I have a Heavenly Father that loves them. He is their Protector, Provider, Teacher, Leader, and Comforter. I know how much He loves me, I know what things He has rescued me from, and delivered me from. I am confident in my God, because I know He is faithful and mighty to save. I have peace because I know that after this week, they will experience Him like they never have before ,and I can let them go because they are in His hands and I trust Him with their lives. Thank you Father, that we don’t have to walk this cold, dark world alone. But You My King are always with us.
John 14:18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
