NC,
I would tell them that there are many people in this world who will take from people and who will not care about anyone who is hurting or hungry or suffering. But that there are also people in this world who will give and who do care. I would tell them to never let someone else try and tell them that there is no God who loves them. Because that is a lie. God sees them. God hears them. God will never forget them. I would tell them that God and His Son send people to help children, and the poor, and the hungry, and those who are hurt or alone or afraid. They send as many people as will listen, and teach that we should help one another, give everything we have to the poor and to the hungry; to feed them, to clothe them, to love them. Some people listen. Some people who do not know God, also help. These people help because there is love in their hearts, and even though they do not know God, God knows them.
But there are also so many people don't listen and who don't help; who don't have love in them.
But the more people who listen, and the more people who love, then the more people who will be helped. And that is all God asks of us. To listen to His Son and to help and to love one another. And that peace and that warmth you feel inside you when you think about God and His Son loving you... don't you let anyone take that away from you. He is there. He hears you. He won't forget you, or any of these other ones that people forget or just don't care about. And one day, no one will be hungry, or hurt, or suffering... because there will be no one left to cause that suffering, or to ignore that suffering. God knows when that time is. He has seen it, and it will come. For now, we just need to do what He asks of us, and that is to love and to help one another, and to trust in Him and His promises.
Peace,
tammy
