Orphan Care

This whole past week has been about orphan care it seems.
Monday night was the Orphan Care Coffee House,
and I got to learn a lot about orphan care.
And God has been bringing this to mind this past week.
And today in church,
the teaching pastor, Tony, taught from Galatians 4:1-7
about Orphan Care and the Doctrine of Adoption.

We were orphans.
Jesus came, lived a life we couldn't live, died the life we should've died, so that we could be adopted by God into His family.
We are now heirs.
How incredibly blessed are we!

After hearing the message this morning,
I didn't want to be around other people.
(I now knew the reason why I drove alone to church this morning.)
So I left, and I spent some time alone with the Lord.
What does He want me to do in light of what He's taught me about orphan care?
1. Pray and pray hard.
2. Continue supporting Nekairo. (She's my Compassion child that I sponsor.)
3. Pray some more about how to serve next, where to go, what to do, etc.
4. Share the news with others.

I don't know what God has in store for me in this area.
I don't know if I'm just going to adopt in the future,
if I'll be come an advocate for children...
only God knows what will happen in my life.
But He's igniting a passion for the care of orphans, widows, and seeking out justice in me.
And I pray that He continues to fan the flame.
