Why Not?

People ask, "WHY?"  Why do you want to travel to Costa Rica? Why do you want to spend your money doing that?  Why do you want to spend your vacation time doing that?  And so on....

This Is WHY........

There is nothing that can melt your heart faster than that of looking into the eyes of children.  Their eyes tell so much about their life, the sadness and the happiness.  You see their smiles and then you see there is no Daddy anywhere in the picture, they have no food in the house, no toys to call their own, and you really wonder how can they be smiling.  But, they do and they don't know anything other than what they are living.  They don't know there is anything else in this world, anything better or anything worse.  This is their life day in and day out.  This could be a child that doesn't have a parent that knows Jesus is real.  And then I say, "Why Not?"  Why not travel around the world and spread the story of Jesus and what He did for us and what we can do to live eternally with Him?   

This young woman pictured above has a story.  She has a story that deserves to be heard.  She is persecuted for her faith in Jesus and yet she presses on.  Some may already know this story, but I will tell it again and again.  Because it deserves to be told.  She cannot he hear to tell you, so I will.  Her mother's family has rejected them because they do not practice the Catholic faith.  This young woman went against her school.  She refused to bow down to the Virgin Mary.  She professed to all there that she would not bow down in idolatry.  Her mother took a stand against the community.  This young woman has been diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor.  She will know nothing in two years or less.  But right now, she knows that Jesus died for her.  She was washed in water and made a child of God.  He is her great physician.  The doctors cannot heal her, but He can.  Pray for her!!!   Pray for a miracle!!  Because He CAN cure!!!

So, this is why.  I could go on with a million reasons why.  God gives enough reasons why we should do this.  I think the better question is, "Why Not?"  You tell me why I should not. Give me a reason why God would want anything less than for my heart to be broken for the broken-hearted?  Let Go and Let Go.  Let Him break your heart for the "least of these."
