Dear God. . .Please take my father out of the bar! Because we suffer!
All around the world, children like Davi are suffering at the hands of an alcoholic parent. All too often, the alcohol leads to abuse. This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. As the body of Christ, we are to comfort these children. And we're called to do it out of love — never pity. We must begin to think and behave differently toward each child we meet. A word of praise when that little mischief-maker in your class gives the right answer. Wiping a tear from the eye of a child before it makes its way down her cheek. To suffer. . .with a child. It's what being compassionate is all about. This is Wess Stafford. Speak Up With Compassion and Share Jesus with a child in your world.
