Depraved Indifference

I feel as though I have been asleep. I have been a Christian since I was eleven and am only now starting to understand a fraction of God's love and mercy for the world. I praise Him for waking me up and for showing me that I have a part in spreading His glory and love to people everywhere. My heart has been broken over and over again as I finally see, to a small extent, what He sees as He looks at the millions of people who are without His love and mercy and salvation.

My Father has opened my eyes and my heart to the orphans and widows, to "the least of these" in our world.

For so long adoption, poverty, homelessness, has been around me, crossing my path at different moments in my life. I've looked, shed an honest tear and then moved on with my comfortable life. I've thought that helping "the least of these" is a calling for certain Christians...."oh, isn't that great they're adopting, I could never do that!"

No more!! If I am a follower of God, then His words to me are clear and true and strong! And they are for all of us!

"Learn to do good; seek justice, rebuke the oppressor; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow"

This is just one of so many times that God directs us to care for the oppressed, the fatherless, the widowed...

I have so much more on my heart concerning all of this, but lest I make this post into a book, I'll continue at a different time.

This video challenges, encourages and moves me to action.
