Dear God . . . Will I be able to be a great league baseball player?
Johan, you sure can, little buddy. In fact, I'll bet you're already a good baseball player! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. One author said, "The function of an ideal is not to be realized, but like that of the North Star — to serve as a guiding point." One of the best gifts you can give a child is hope. To encourage them to dream big dreams! Volunteer to coach a team. Model good character by your example of integrity. Show them that great leadership begins with great character. Encourage them to think of what's best for the team instead of just themselves. Talk to kids about heroes — baseball and otherwise! Point them to Jesus as the ultimate role model! This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion to the children in your world.
