Dear God . . . Do problems just come to us — or do we make them ourselves?
Alby what an incredible question! You're wiser than a lot of adults I know. We can't avoid storms and earthquakes, but when we choose to steal or hurt someone — we bring on our own problems! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. I believe with all my heart that the most effective way to address poverty is through the education, training and discipleship of children. Childhood is the time when the most significant life changes — and life values — can be made and positive patterns developed. Here's something you can do right now! "Adopt" a child—as their friend and mentor. Help him or her to grow spiritually, emotionally, socially. Give freely of your love, your time, your example and your wisdom! This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with Compassion to a child in your world.
