Dear God . . . Why can't we stay children? Why do we have to grow up?
Little friend, God wants you to enjoy being a child. And when you're ready, you'll make a difference in your world, Pinya! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Author Graham Greene said, "There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in." Your involvement in the life of a child can make that future a positive one! Your church's children's ministry is a great place to start. Teach them through your words and example to be committed to excellence. Motivate them to take a bold stand for their convictions and principles. Help a child think of leadership as an adventure. And point them to Jesus Christ as the ultimate role model — a servant leader! This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion to the children in your world.
