Dear God ... Why don't some parents love their children?
Josy! You can be sure God loves you and YOU matter to Him! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. It's not enough just to tell a child God loves them — we need to show them! As one child advocate puts it: Be a "Kool-Aid mom." In other words, bring a child into your circle of love and care. Think about the families you know. What changes have happened to make it difficult? Maybe it's divorce. Or dad's lost his job. Why not offer to baby-sit, or take a young boy to a game? Pick up the kids for church. You can't solve all their problems, but you can do something! This is Wess Stafford. Speak Up With Compassion for a child — right there in your world!
