This ministry has been emotionally challenging for me. Some days I want to cry as I leave ministry at the “Joesaphine House” (orphanage). These kids have a strong hold on my heart. I love them to despite the challenges they face.
The hardest thing about this month is knowing in a short 7 days, I will be leaving them. They have taken a piece of heart. I feel as if a child like feeling of love has been restored in me. Jesus himself said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” I now understand why Jesus said “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Lets us all love as children love. Let our hearts miss those we are willing to love us. Let us wipe dirt off of each other on the playground, eat together, share our space, for what is community for?
