What they need...

There is a song on Casting Crowns newest CD called, "What This World Needs." In listening to this song I was struck by the simpleness and the enormity of what we are called to. The chorus of this song says, "What this world needs is a Savior who will rescue, a Spirit who will lead, a Father who will love them in their time of need."

Well, there it is folks. These kids don't need "Livada Orphan Care." They don't need us to fix them or save them or plan out the great lives that we see for them. We can't offer them what we are not capable of giving. We can not rescue them all from their situations or the hauntings of their past. We can not make all the right choices for them or always see the right road for them. And while we can love them with our limited human love... we can never meet the deepest needs of their hearts. We can only, by the grace of God and because he chooses to allow us to take part, present to them the "Savior who will rescue, Spirit who will lead and Father who will love them in their time of need."

It is our prayer that God will continue to allow us to be a part of sharing this truth with the orphaned and abandoned children of our county for years to come. Pray with us that we will not be fooled into thinking that we are the answer or that we have done anything to change these lives... that is a credit and honor that only God can hold. We are simply the hands and feet that he sometimes uses. Pray that we will speak His truth boldly when He leads and that we will get out of the way and let Him move as only He can when needed. Pray that we will continually point each life we come in contact with to Him... He is the only One who can truly rescue, lead and love them!

Thank you for joining us with your gifts and prayers that allow us the opportunity to reach out to these kids & teens... as we are given the gift of being his hands and feet caring for them, teaching them, meeting daily needs, and ultimately pointing them to His heart.
