Love is Calling YOU.

Pyaar = लव = Love

"...But the greatest of these is love."   ~   1 Corinthians 13:13

This week we've spent a lot of time looking at love, what love is 

and where love comes from. It's a word defined in so many small ways, 

but can literally change someone's world.

" My own family doesn't care about me... why do you?"

 ~ *Anne

This statement brought tears to my eyes as *Anne spoke after

telling me the tale of how she had attempted suicide earlier that

morning. Their pain is so real and so deep. *Anne's story is one

of many taking place daily here and all throughout India. These

women have lost all hope and seek the only escape they know...

They are why I am here, Bringing God's unfailing love to the 

children His heart yearns for. 

"Father break my heart for what breaks Yours, give me open 

hands and open doors, put Your light in my eyes and let me see

that my own little world is not about me..."

So often I get caught up in my own little world, my troubles, my

wants, my needs. Me. Me. Me. Living in the midst of the least

of these makes me realize my constant selfishness. My own little

world is NOT about me. This is what God is always reminding

me of, in those moments where I am hurt or upset He puts in

perspective my short comings. It is through His love that I love.

There is nothing I could give these girls without Him, it is His

hope and love they so desperately need...
                                 
                                               "So when you get the chance,

are you gonna take it?

There's a really big world at your fingertips

And you know you have the chance to change it

There's a girl on the streets, she's cryin'

There's a man whose faith is dyin'

Love is calling you..."
