We are all broken.

Dana

God called her to love babies.
But not just
    ANY
babies.

The unwanted babies.
         The unwanted children.

The babies who have been
beaten
    shaken
         and neglected.

 The children who have 
 eaten from trash cans
    and shrink from touch.

These unwanted
have     crawling hair
  and rough skin.

No one wants to touch them
or
   hug them
or
   cuddle them.

Theses children answer by 
  shrinking hiding running
                        scratching with fingernails
because
they
don't
comprehend understand know grasp
love.

Who would love the unwanted?

She was fearful, too.
But she answered when
God
called - with not just one baby.
THREE
        children...

Her heart skipped
    a beat.

But she said
YES. 

These children were
worthy
of love.

All children are
worthy
of love.

And it's hard.
Not to love
but to help them accept 
love
because

they  don't  know  how.

But she knows a wonderful
truth
about love.

God loves the
unwanted.

We are ALL unwanted.

We are ALL in need of Him.

He wants us.
He loves us.

And His love uses
her willingness
To mend precious
broken
babies children adults 

They are all beautiful.

  3. So beautiful. More than just heartwarming, but heartrending.

    I have hugged Dana's neck. I have heard her pray over those babies before she even knew they existed.

    Love isn't Cloroxed. It isn't smooth and lilac-scented. In Dana's case, it's zebra striped and hot-pink and full of, "I don't care, I still love you".

    Thankful for your post.
