To think that children are taken from their families, to be sold, is heart breaking. We need to think about it. Once you have thought about it you need to decide what you are going to do about it. This is a global problem. It is happening everywhere. According to World Vision More than 115 million children worldwide are subjected to the worst forms of child labor, including trafficking for commercial sex exploitation and hazardous physical labor.
You CAN do something. Partner with an organization like World Vision or No Ordinary Love. Pray. Something. Anything.
We turn our backs on this reality, pretend this problem doesn't exist. Maybe because its just too hard. Too hard to think about the atrocities children face. Maybe we think we can't really make a difference. It is too hard. There are too many. Too much evil and corruption.
22But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 27Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress. James Chapter 1
We are called to look after the oppressed. Stand up! Be DOERS of the word. I challenge you to pray, to think about what YOU can do and see how many lives can be changed. What have you got to lose? Maybe it is time for you to step out of your comfort zone. Live boldly, believing you can make a difference and that these children are worth it.
