The lives of our children are being destroyed by drugs, gangs, and so often the loneliness of growing up without a mom or a dad. Many moms and dads have given up all hope of a better life for their families. People all over our world, are hungry not only for food, but also for a stabilizing force in their lives. Our mission as Christians is to bring the love, mercy, and saving grace of Christ to the hurting, the hungry, the thirsty, and the helpless, on planet earth. To impact the world in which we live, we must first focus our faith firmly on God, who created our world. When our lives are focused on Christ"s example, and we accept the great mission that He gave us, the world will become a better place for everyone. My dear brothers and sisters, dare to reach out and become the hands and arms of Jesus, and to embrace the hurting and brokenhearted of this world with His love. There are people dying every day all over the earth without Christ"s saving grace or mercy. We have Christ"s love living within us. Brothers and sisters, we must dare to give it away.
