We visited an orphanage today and left with heavy hearts. It's so easy to push social issues aside that seem to be their problem, not mine. I know how easy this is because while living in America I did it all the time. But as a follower of Jesus Christ, isn't it my problem as well? Won't I also be held responsible? And what if that was my Caleb or my Joanna who lived there? Wouldn't I act then? Of course I would do anything. But the children who live there have no one to do anything for them...
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world...James 1:27
