This morning after I dropped off A, my heart broke and I cried for about 10 minutes while driving. (Not sure if I mentioned that P’s parents so graciously helped me get a car to get around town!) At a stop light, I saw a man, who I have seen many times, today was just different. This man was sitting on the curb with ragged grey clothes with a dingy hat on begging for money. What got me was his left arm, he did not have a left hand. My eyes weld up with tears as I thought of the bondage they lived. I’m not sure if anyone has watched “Slumdog Millionaire”, but that does not just happen in India. My heart could not bear and even as I type this, my heart is breaking for the people that are being used for money… sometimes having to sacrifice a body part…
Please pray for these people... even children, who are somehow under these awful people who use them to get money. I cannot imagine putting A in ragged clothing and making her lie on the cold concrete ground with a can by her head for people to drop money in. Yet there are parents who give their child(ren) up for this…
Please pray for the ones controlling this kind of “slavery”. Only the Lord can change their hearts.
Please pray for the people in high places. There are laws in some areas where they forbid money to be given to these beggars in hopes of getting rid of them, but people in high places are not enforcing these laws.
My prayer in the car was… “Jesus please come and end this injustice!!!” How I long for the day when Jesus comes to punish Satan and all the people he got to do his dirty work!! Father… my heart cannot bear this… how much more is Your heart aching for the people. Won’t you save them? Let your kingdom come…
My longing for heaven has multiplied today…
