Recently while with a group of children a little boy sat across form me. He had sad eyes and looked down whenever he was spoken to. His first words to speak greatly surprised me! He put his hand on my Bible and said, "Let's get started...I've had a lot of trouble getting here, I dont know much about God and I may never get to come back!" I was intrigued by the intenseness of what he was saying and knew in my heart I had better not waste time! :) Since he was new I got the group to introduce themselves to him and tell him a little about themselves. When it came time to share about himself...this is what he said. "My name is ______, don't ask me about my moma because she ran off and left me when I was a baby, my daddy never does anything with me, I take medicine because I am hyper and teachers scratch me off their like list on the first day of school every year, I don't have any friends and I wish I did. I am the kind of kid nobody wants!"

I began to burn like fire on the inside...realizing that God had put an awesome opportunity before me!! This child was hurting, broken, needy, had loss of self worth, many more issues and needed the love of God like never before.

This is just a glimpse of what is happening to the children in our society. I plan on doing all I can to keep him on my radar and pour all I can for God into his life every opportunity I get! I will keep you posted.
