Dear God. . .Can you make me happier than I am now?
Melvin, I'm so sorry, my young friend. When things go wrong in the world, it's you and other children who suffer. As adults we must be your champion so you can experience true joy in your life! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. So many children have never experienced a deep attachment to anyone. They don't know how to love, or be loved. A favorite prayer reads: "May my cookie jar know many small hands. May my life be inconvenienced by a child. May I compassionately share the pain of some lonely child and may my life overflow with believing to an empty child nearby. And may I be known as a friend of children!" This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion to a child in your world!
