Hear Their Cry

“Do not take advantage of a widow or an orphan. If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry.” Ex 22:22, 23
When I was a new mom I worried when my daughter would cry. Was she hungry, uncomfortable, wet? What could I do to relieve her discomfort?
When I was a new mom I worried when my daughter didn’t cry. I’d lie awake at night straining to hear any sigh, gurgle, or noise that would relieve my fear and let me know she was all right.
When I became a new mom to 31 more children I heard a different cry; the cry of orphan children and I noticed their voices had a different pitch.
Can you hear their cry? God does. If you don’t, lean a little closer, close your eyes and concentrate, and listen with your heart. It’s the sound of loneliness, homelessness, hunger, and pain.
A good parent hears the cry of their children and responds appropriately. When a child has no parent God calls on his family, to hear their cry and care for them. We appreciate your prayers and support and thank you for partnering with us to hear their cry.
