Focusing -> RE: Daily prayer for the children (9/5/2008 12:00:04 PM)
|
This is a small portion of one of my e-devotions this morning: "More than any other emotion, the poor feel overwhelmed. Without financial resources, shelter, food, education, justice, or skills to address their plight, they succumb to the downward spiral that leads to hopelessness and despair. That, my friend, is the essence of poverty." - Dr. Wess Stafford, in his book Too Small to Be Ignored. A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor. - Proverbs 22:9 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. - Proverbs 13:12 Father, help these children who are being raised in a world surrounded by poverty to feel Your precious touch, to have a hope of eternal life in You, to never lose their dreams. Amen.
