"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
-James 1:27
Can you imagine what this world would be like if everyone helped out orphans and widows, and walked in accordance to the Word of God? It is so far-fetched from the truth today, that I cannot.
My heart reaches out to the civilians in Myanmar afflicted by the typhoon and its aftermath, especially those who have lost a loved one or their entire family. Their militia government, the "pollutants", must repent for their neglect of human life. To not allow foreign aid in is just ruthless. Only Jesus has the great, perfect love to show absolute forgiveness to these cruel authority figures. Our Redeemer lives!
I am troubled by all of the Burmese children left orphaned and the government's lack of responsibility to care for them. It makes me want to adopt one. After the earthquake in China, over 200 people in the U.S. contacted the Chinese government to adopt. I am 99.99% positive that Myanmar will not be open to adoptions, but God can work miracles.
On another note, what does this say about the value of human life in this world? We don't value a fetus as a human. And, we certainly don't value humans as humans.
Sad.
