It is hard to know to know who is a true Orphan here, They feel ashamed to say they have no one to take care of them, even if they only have an older brother they will say they have a parent! I met a little boy at of the care points who has only one brother who is three years older than him. This boy I am guessing is five years old. I was told he has been in the same outfit for the past two months. He is small due to lack of food but he seems more in need of a hug or a smile. He crawled up in my lap and the smell was overwhelming, I could tell he has not washed in a long time, But at that moment nothing else mattered to me but that this one little child felt loved. I held him close and he soon fell asleep. If I look at this land as a whole, I will get consumed and feel I can never help, what can I do? But I am finding out it is the one that you touch… The one who feels the Father’s love, the one who feels needed. If I am only here for the one, I will be content. I am so grateful to be in a place where I am so dependant on him. I am desperate and feel helpless, but I think that is where God comes in. He cares for the one individual and tends to them. I am just grateful that he is allowing me to be a part of his plan. I can’t wait to see my little friend again; I am claiming his life for the kingdom!
