Dear God . . . Would it be possible for me to meet my sponsor?
Oh I wish I could promise you that, Iveth. But I do know that your sponsor will pray for you. And I will encourage them to write you so you know you are loved! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Loving, caring words and actions give a child confidence and a sense of self-worth. One author described "self-esteem" not as a safe-deposit box, filled at one point in life, then locked forever. But she said, "it's like a bucket of water with a hole in it — that must be continuously refilled to stay at a healthy level." Tell a child how proud you are of him. Write a child in poverty to let her know you care. This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion to a child in your world.
