heal my heart and make it clean
open up my eyes to the things unseen
show me how to love like you have loved me
break my heart for what breaks yours
everything i am for your kingdoms cause
as i walk from earth into eternity
{Hosanna, Hillsong United}
this is one of my favorite worship songs
and i have sung it often
but today the meaning of this song really hit me today
this morning we visited one of the slum areas here in Phnom Penh
and my heart was broken...
my heart broke for these families
that they have to live near rubbish dumps to survive
that there is not enough money for their children to attend regular school
not enough money to eat
not enough clean drinking water...
and the list goes on
poverty lives here
but you know what so does God
everybody was so excited that we had come to visit
amongst the ruin there were beautiful smiles.
we gave the children some food and little handmade bears
{made by my mumma and her wonderful friends}
they were full of thanks and praise
praise for Transform Cambodia and all that they are doing
Transform are educating their children for free, feeding their children and their whole families and that they bring people like us into their community to give offerings of money, food, household items... anything that they may need
slowly Transform are helping to raise their people out of poverty
these young children that we visited today will be the generation to break the poverty cycle
we have been blessed to be a blessing to others
and i just wish that there was more that i could do or give
