Dear God. . .Will you love me forever?
He sure will, Gilvan! Forever and ever! You can count on God's love, my young friend. This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. I'm sure you've heard the expression, "Youth is wasted on the young!" Well, don't believe it! Recognize that the "window of opportunity" for reaching children for Christ is during the years before they become teens. It begins now — with you! With the very next child God brings across your path. Every child you encounter is a divine appointment. That young life can be launched with a single phrase, an uplifting word, or an act of kindness. When a child is young, it takes little effort to make an impression that will last a lifetime! This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion — for a child in your world!
