We know what to do

"Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know, and holds us responsible to act."
 
Prov. 24:12
 
 
This verse so very accurately sums up how I feel about helping orphans. 
 
I have seen. 
My eyes are opened to their needs. 
 
I have heard. 
My ears have heard their stories. 
 
I have felt. 
My heart has sunk with the sadness that so many of them feel, not having a forever family to love them, care for them, and help them grow. 
 
I have desired. 
My soul wants these precious children of God to know Jesus, that they might find love, no matter what their life brings.
 
I have cried.
My mind knows that most orphans will not find forever families, and my heart weeps for them.
 
I have prayed.
My mind and heart and soul pray for these children.
 
I have spoken.
I have talked to groups of people about orphans.  I want to tell more people!
 
I have prayed,
That God would use me as He sees fit.
 
I know what to do.
 
WE know what to do.
 
Will you join me?
