After the last update on the Haiti orphanage situation, I’m sick to my stomach.
I’m pissed.
I’m livid actually.
And I’m going on a rant….
Children are missing.
Children that did not deserve their lot in life.
Children that were defenseless.
Children that had no say in the matter.
Children with faces and names.
Children with pinchable cheeks and huge smiles.
They are missing.
They were abused.
They have vanished.
Corruption is being acknowledged and ignored.
Shoulders are shrugging.
Comments and opinions are flying around.
Fingers are being pointed.
Arguments are being given.
People ask why we aren’t focusing on helping our own country’s children– Who said anything about WE? Why aren’t YOU helping them? Why is the job of helping Americans the responsibility of those who have obviously been called to go overseas? And- for God so loved THE WORLD. Jesus didn’t die for only Americans, He died for everyone. He didn’t love just Americans, He loved everyone. He didn’t tell us to love only Americans, He told us to love everyone. Jesus’ kingdom is the whole world. As sons and daughters of the King we are therefore responsible for THE WHOLE WORLD.
And all those people putting blame on the organizations that were trying to help? Shame on you! How dare you point fingers from your comfortable couch! These are the only people on the ground actually doing something. If it weren’t for them, you wouldn’t even be aware these children were missing! They are the ones whose fingers aren’t pointing and blaming, but helping and loving.
People say the government should have looked into this earlier or should crack down on the Haitian government. Where in the Bible does Jesus say for the government to take care of the orphans and widows? Jesus spoke to US. Can you stomach that? Did you know it was YOUR responsibility to help all the hurting in the world and not a welfare check’s? If the true Church had been running this orphanage from the start this wouldn’t even be happening. And when I say Church I don’t mean a board of trustees somewhere in a conference room. I mean the living, breathing souls that God has called to follow Him. I mean YOU and ME. WE are called to fix these problems. WE are called to the world. WE are called to love the sick, the dying, the prostitutes, the thieves, the gang members, the homosexuals, the Muslims, the orphans, the widows, the atheists and the Methodists. WE are called to everywhere and to everyone. To the ends of the earth.
I know I don’t normally post blogs like this but I can’t bring myself to apologize. These are my current, livid thoughts. Take it or leave it.
