Oh boy... So much I could quote from this. So true, so right on with our hearts and the mission behind Bridge a Life, in bringing orphan care back to the church and families - it is our responsibility as Christ followers, not a government issue. ...1) IM NOT SURE I CAN REALLY LOVE A CHILD KNOWING THAT I MIGHT HAVE TO LET THEM GO. ...On the other hand we must be willing to work our hearts beyond that concern into a place which says we REALLY do want to love these kids and we WILL for their sake no matter what. An inability to do so reveals a self-centered disposition within ourselves - one which is more concerned about what it will cost us to give love to a child rather than what it will cost a child to never receive love from us. ...We would embrace the heartache of having to let her go if it meant she knew, if even for a short time, what it meant to truly be held onto. ..Rather, the call to foster care is one which embraces the inherent inconveniences and inevitable difficulties as worth it for the sake of redeeming that which is broken and offering light into that which can be very, very dark. ....You weigh in balance any cost, stress, inconvenience, annoyance, struggle or frustration against the value of the life of a child and I guarantee you the child always win - every time. The child is always worth the process and more valuable than the costs.
