'When we love the least of these'

I love this song by Audio Adrenaline - 'Kings and Queens'

"Little hands, shoeless feet
Lonely eyes looking back at me
Will we leave behind the innocent too brief
On their own, on the run
When their lives have only begun
These could be our daughters and our sons
And just like a drum I can hear their hearts beating
I know my God won't let them be defeated
Every child has a dream to belong and be loved

(Chorus)
Boys become kings, girls will be queens
Wrapped in Your majesty
When we love, when we love the least of these
Then they will be brave and free
Shout Your name in victory
When we love, when we love the least of these
When we love the least of these

Break our hearts once again
Help us to remember when
We were only children hoping for a friend
Won't you look around
These are the lives that the world has forgotten
Waiting for doors of our hearts and our homes to open

Chorus

If not us, who will be like Jesus
To the least of these
If not us tell me who will be like Jesus
Like Jesus to the least of these"

 

Now is our opportunity, church, to break generational curses of poverty, abuse and hopelessness.  Now is our chance to do something.  Now is our chance to love a child.  Maybe it's a monthly child sponsorship, maybe it's being a mentor to a foster family or being a respite provider (giving a foster family a break), maybe it's adoption, maybe it's supporting a Christian orphanage.  We can all do something....We can all impact one life.  Afterall, every life does matter to God.

 

in Christ,
