Last night at about eight 'o' clock everything went dark. A collective gasp went up through the house even though we knew it was coming. Earlier in the evening we saw a transformer blow up and we knew we weren't far from being the next darkened house on the block. We didn't sit in the dark long. Candles and flashlights were soon lit and spread out in various areas of the house. It doesn't cease to amaze how one candle can pierce the darkest night.
A child sits in an orphanage wondering what they did wrong. They sit alone. Family or hope? None. This child has the mind set that no one would care if they were dead or alive. They don't know that they have a father! A father who loves them beyond belief! But they may never know that. They may sit in that orphanage alone, unloved, and forgotten. Unless ONE person shows them the love of Jesus Christ. Knowledge that there is someone who loves them enough to die for them is almost too much for them to believe. These children have been sitting in a POWER OUTAGE for only God knows how long! When one person comes with a simple burning candle there is hope for them!
Tell me....
Who wants to sit in the dark?
