This month I watched the movie associated with live58. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzVLzVe4h8g
It challenges us to get involved that we can make a difference in the lives of the impoverished around the world. I want to talk about a section of the movie that broke my heart. A family in India who is enslaved to rock quarry owners. To pay back their debts they find themselves imprisoned to the rock quarry owner. Long hours, chipping away a rocks in the heat. They ask the children if they could wish for one thing, what would they wish for? The older of the children hesitated with his answer and then replied, " I have desires but my dreams will never come true. So let me not have dreams at all." This is a lie that poverty whispers to these children. That they are worth nothing. They will never be more than this. Let's put a stop to this lie! Click on my link to Compassion. A child sponsorship program that release children from poverty in JESUS name. Let's reverse this ugly lie and let a child know that:
THEY ARE LOVED
GOD HAS A PLAN FOR THEIR LIFE
THEY CAN BE MORE
THEY ARE FREE TO DREAM AND DREAM BIG
AND THOUGH THEY LIVE IN POVERTY, POVERTY WILL NOT LIVE IN THEM!!
