God break my heart for the things that break yours

I was heartbroken tonight as I watched a TV show called DOC on CTV about the Haiti issues right now. I kept tearing up every time they showed young children abandoned. The worst thing is these children are not just alone because they lost their families in the earthquake, some of them were abandoned or sold before the earthquake ever took place and organizations like UNICEF are trying to reunite children with family;s who do not even want them. Imagine the pain, being reunited with your Mommy and she is unhappy to see you because you, a 7 year old boy, unwanted.
And me... I am up here in Canada living a safe cushy life. My little boy has food, clothes and a warm crib to sleep in. I have more than enough, including the love of family and friends.
I am broken,

my heart is in pain,
for children I don't even know.
God, please please bring these kids hope even though hope is not near.

I am convicted. I am tried of living my perfect life while children and women and men suffer. And to make matters worse, sex predators take advantage of these hard times in places like Haiti and will pretend to be a parents or family and take these kids and sell them into sex slavery. The words I want to use right now are so strong and terrible, but I will hold my tongue and let my heart feel outraged.


Be the Change you wish to see in the world.
