It’s exciting to remember that from a Biblical perspective, because of the Incarnation we celebrate today, the kids we work with at the residential treatment center are no worse off than you or I. Indeed, the Bible says their poverty puts them at a strategic advantage, because they’re unlikely to mistake this world for their true home. It’s the comfortable who are at risk of imagining they’re at home apart from Christ, that their hearts of stone are actually hearts of flesh. Yeshua (Greek: Jesus) will give our children brand new hearts, fill those hearts with His Spirit of power and of love and of sound thinking, and give them beauty for ashes and the oil of joy for mourning, if they will only ask Him. Please pray with us that it would be so.
“Lord, You have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.” Psalm 90:1
