Dear God. . .If Jesus is the Prince of peace — why wasn't He born in a castle?
I should remind you from time to time that these are real prayers from real children around the world. And today its another great question! I think Jesus was born in a stable to show that God loved all the world the same — rich or poor. This is Wess Stafford President of Compassion International. After resisting my invitations to visit the poor, my friend Ken finally gave in. n one poor Ecuadorian village, hundreds of children and parents came to meet us. As they prayed for us, my friend had tears in his eyes. He said, "Wess, I was afraid my heart would be broken by their condition. Today I found my heart broken by my condition!" When the wealthy and the poor come together, each ends up meeting the desperate needs of the other. This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion for a world in need!
