A Heart That Can Break...

The other night I couldn't sleep; so I was praying, asking God what I should do about the horrible evil of slavery.  Then I started thinking of all the little girls being used and abused right now, and I thought of the men, women, and children working as slaves in brick kilns and factories around the world.  My heart broke just thinking about people in slavery. 

Then it hit me.  I was thankful to be moved just thinking about these things.  I knew why I was too, I was thankful because when a heart breaks it can move a person to do amazing things.  So, laying there in the darkness, I prayed:  "God, thank you for giving me a heart that can break."  Slavery is breaking my heart, and God is moving me to do something about it.

Here is a video that I think is really inspiring.  You can go to www.ijm.org to see more videos like this, read stories, watch videos about survivors of slavery and learn more about what you can do to help.
