Starving African Child
I want to give you pap and spinach
I want to give you mango’s and apples
Bananas, meat and sweet tea..
I want to give you a nutritious meal
Maybe a specially formulated porridge
With vitamins, iron, zinc, calcium
Everything you need to grow a healthy strong body.
But I also want to fortify your meal with everything you need to grow a healthy, strong, heart and mind.
I wish to add courage, purpose, potential, resilience and hope.
And as your body becomes stronger with each meal,
I pray your spirit is strengthened.
Then the truth about who you are will settle in the marrow of your bones.
You are not a nameless statistic..
You are Potential.
You are Courage.
You are Resilient.
You are Hope.
You are my family.
You are Loved by our Father.
How I long to give you spinach and sweet tea..
…and a taste of who you really are.

Wow...tears are streaming down my cheeks as I read this over and over again.
I don't have any words, I can only pray for these children.
