love is enough
The needs here are overwhelming.
For the first few says here I often thought to myself, “am I even being effective?” {with over fifty kids were…sometimes a simple hug or nose wipe feels useless}
God was so sweet to me on Monday morning.
In a room full of twenty five itty bitty babies, He gave me the gift of changing a one week olds diaper. While changing it, babies’ umbilical cord fell off. Tears flooded my cheeks, and I whispered, “thank you Lord for this moment.” What a gift. The momma in the room let me lay on the floor for about thirty minutes with baby on my chest. After a while baby looked up at me and started to smile…and it was in that smile and in the peace of his eyes that I saw Jesus. And through that smile God said to me, “you are here to love. Just love him, love them.”
This is why I am here, to love.
No I cannot change these babies’ circumstances, only He can…
but I can love.
It is all I have to give.
And it is enough.
