Watch, Help and Applaud

From Dr. Wess Stafford’s book “Too Small to Ignore’ comes the incite to understand the power of God through children. Here is a quote from page 191:

“It all begins, I maintain, with that powerful and underutilized thing called love. God’s love for the individual is displayed by those people who reflect His love in their words and deeds. It ultimately gets understood and accepted by the child in poverty, and through that individual’s love for others, the world gets changed. One changed child eventually changes a family. A changed family will influence change in the church. Enough changed churches will transform the community. Changed communities change regions. Changed regions will in time change an entire nation.”

That was my devotional this morning. I trust it impacts you the way it does me. It is the “path out of poverty” and the leaders are the children. The adult’s role is to watch, help and applaud. I think that’s something I can do today.
