God called her to love babies.
Theses children answer by shrinking hiding running scratching with fingernails
But not just
ANYbabies.
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
and rough skin.have crawling hair
No one wants to touch them
or
hug themor
cuddle them.Theses children answer by shrinking hiding running
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.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Dana! Your story is so inspiring!! Thank you for sharing!
DeleteBeautiful! I too am in tears.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. More than just heartwarming, but heartrending.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
