I have compassion on my Facebook page as I sponsor a child through them.
They've requested everyone spreads the word about what's happened, which is fine by me those people out there need help!
Now I sponsor a child same age as my daughter that he can have opportunities and a chance in life. The child I sponsor is from the Philippines!
I got a letter from him yesterday, but because of the worldwide postage timescale I'm pretty sure he sent it before devastation happened.
Now I don't know if my 'child' is alive, I dot know if he has that future God told me to ensure he would receive.
When I agreed to sponsor a child I had no preference on the form only that the child who had been waiting the longest would get my help, I wished I could help all the children really.
I believe the whole thing was orchastrated by God, now I have to pray not only for my 'child' but his whole country. God knows how much I love to pray... Awkward silence lol.
Praying from the warm safety of my own home just doesn't cut it, I've got to donate, I've got to tell the world these people need your help, if you're reading this you most likely have internet so don't act like your broke!
As I watched the news I couldn't help but cry as people were begging for just water! Something I have in abundance at the turn of a tap! There are women giving birth, bringing new life, into that unimaginable circumstance. Where I'm from preparing for your baby is even more fun than having the baby! Picking out clothes and cribs and prams. Spending hundreds of pounds on temporary use items. The babies that are being born in the phillipines are only wrapped in cloth, sharing the first moments of their lives surrounded by pain and loss, wailing and death.
If that's not heartbreaking, you have no heart!
People spend a countless amount of time talking about people and what they're doing, how much of that time can you spend helping people?
Matthew 25:41-45 then he will also say to those on the left hand, depart from me you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for i was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.
Then they will also answer Him saying Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to You? Then He will answer them saying 'assuredly I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'
The human race is so self absorbed, me included, that we forget others have more needs than we do, needs that even though we may not think we have much we have enough I make a difference to someone else's life and we shouldn't have to wait for a once a year event to make changes, some of us don't even have a year left to live!
