We are Desperate for the Poor and the Broken.

This generation faces much so much promise, and pain. Meet Lindsey. God used one little broken girl in India, to change her life forever. She was inspired to help many others. Turns out, Lindsey needed that little girl almost as much as the little one was desperate for help. I can relate. The broken-beyond-repair little one that God sent into my life, has changed me forever. Poor, desperate, voiceless, sick……….. turns out I needed to meet Moises as much as he needs me. We are not so different. I am as desperate for God as he is. I need him to help me remember, and melt this broken, spoiled, hard heart that I struggle with. A Holy, sacrificial quest? HARDLY! An honor, privilege and relief from self-focus? YES! We need the poor, as much or more than they need us. And we are ALL desperate for a Holy and Merciful God. It is a sacred, but strangely hedonistic work. Lord, help me to remember where you found me! Broken, poor and desperate. Help me pour my life out for the least of these.

“Lindsey now works as the Director of Development for Sarah's Covenant Homes and is based in Gainesville, GA. She loves her job and she loves getting to advocate for some of her favorite kids in the world. She is thankful that God gave her a second chance to fall in love with them.”

Is. 58:10. “And if you give yourself to the hungry, and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then your light will rise in darkness, and your gloom will become like midday. And the LORD will continually guide you, and satisfy your desire in scorched places, and give strength to your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.”
