love Mozambique
At a place where life is tested by things out of our control.
where human life depends largely on a pill and faith.
To see the looks on the children’s faces.
Hope for the briefest of moments.
Pay it forward we preach.
But how?
What do you do
or what do you say to a hungry child,
A child with a devastating life-threatening disease?
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for
and the evidence of things unseen.
We can quote, sure enough,
but what is faith really?
Surely faith is hope in the love of a God we can not see,
and for that matter, can not understand.
Now faith helps me believe He has a purpose and reason
for all things that happens.
These children that stole my heart at the very second of arrival.
These children that suffers on a daily basis.
They have taught me
that hope, faith and love is always near.
Hope of a better life.
Faith in an unseen God
and love for the small things in life.
I stand here in front of the fire,
reflecting back on the day,
realizing that these children has life in abundance.
To them the kingdom of heaven awaits
with special rewards.
