Boundaries??

Proverbs 24:12 tells us that "Once our eyes are opened we cannot pretend we do not know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls knows we know and holds us responsible to act.

Maybe that's easier said than done .Maybe even after all the posts and the pictures ,and the videos describing the life of a child with Down syndrome in other countries , maybe it still doesn't become believable to people. 
Maybe pictures like this one are not taken seriously?

Maybe some people still don't believe that this is actually happening? 

Maybe because this child is in another country, the problem is passed along. Let her country help her. I hear that a lot. But unfortunately her country did this to her because they see her as useless!  

Look at this picture. These are not babies!  They are boys and young men!  In cribs! Treated with no respect no love and no hope. 

Maybe we, who have lost our hearts to these children have a better understanding because we have heard it from families who have seen these atrocities with their own eyes.  Maybe they have lessened the distance. Brought the reality home with them, if you will.

To me there is no distance between us. God didn't tell us to only help those within walking distance. 
Help only those that "belong" to your country. Let everyone take care of their own. Jesus went out of His way to help people no one else would. He made it perfectly clear that He didn't believe in boundaries when he took a drink from the Samaritan woman. 

When we get to heaven there will be no borders, no lines defining your territory and mine. Why should we let that be an issue now? 


I used to think that way. I used to think , why should I help others who are so far away? But now that I have seen , I know I must. How can I not? And the more I help, the more the distance disappears. These are children. Children who will die if we don't help them. 

When  soldiers get their orders, they go. They don't say"I can't go there, it's too far, I don't know the people there, I  just signed up to help the people around here". 

They go where they are needed. When God calls you to be a soldier, you go. You go where you are needed. Maybe these children need you. Maybe God is calling you to be a soldier for them. 

Maybe Carina has seen things a child should never see, I've never seen such sadness in a child's eyes.Maybe Carina could use a few more warriors in her corner.
