My father and mother walked out and left me, but GOD took me in.
Humanitarian work comes naturally in the world for some reason. NGOs are everywhere you look, doing something for somebody. The biggest aid agency in the world belongs to the Muslims. Somehow, deep down, there exists something in the world that reminds it to take care of itself. Orphans, AIDs sufferers, woman and children. Supply of water and health services. The UN organises aid to be sent around the world and western countries throw billions of dollars into it. Support groups for every addiction, abuse or depression.
In this world you will have tribulations and on the surface it would seem like the world would help you when you do. True? I think not! Despite all the money, despite all the effort, despite all the agencies in this world you are all alone. You get to the point where there is no one really to help. You need to fend for yourself, Make your own decisions. Find your own peace.
There is no man you can rely on! In this world you are an orphan. A sojourner wandering along trying to make the best of your journey that can.
Or
In the world but not of it. Not reliant on it or it’s systems. God came to the orphanage and signed adoption papers in His own blood. The world might not have wanted you but He did. The world might have tried to eat you up and spit you out but rescued you. He redeemed you from the pound where you were about to be put down and took into His own house. Gave you a place of honour instead of a place of disgrace. Called you His own, His child. Put His own name on you and dressed you in His own robe.
In this world you were alone but in Him you are seated eternally together with Him on the throne from where you rule and reign over the world that would have killed you. The world stood on you but He has lifted you up. The world despised you but He loves you. The world rejected you but you are exactly who He wants.
There is a God you can rely on. Your eternal heavenly Father. Providing your daily bread, your strength, your guide, your life. Bringing you joy and peace.
The humanitarian workers can offer some form of temporary relief. The world will offer some short term solution.
God will give you LIFE
