Dear God … Why did You create me?
Yared, the Bible says we're created to do good works! And God will use you! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. God often chooses a child to accomplish His good works. Mattie Stepanek was a courageous boy who, at 13, became a best-selling poet and advocate for muscular dystrophy awareness. He wrote more than 2,000 poems and in his favorite said: "A champion is a winner. A hero. Someone who never gives up even though the going gets rough." When The Today Show's Katie Couric asked Mattie if he was afraid to die, he said: "I know there's a better place waiting, even though I want to do as much as I can here on earth." This is Wess Stafford. Speak Up With Compassion for the "champions" in your world!
