How so many lives have been affected by the earthquake in Haiti. The lives that were lost and the victims that are left in the rubble and the poverty need help. My prayer for the nations, for the country, for YOU reading this, is that we feel convicted, experience a heavy burden and a broken heart for the people of Haiti. As cliche and overused as this phrase is, we can make a difference. Even sitting in our homes thousands of miles away. Please please consider donating money to organizations working in and for Haiti and it's people. Don't even think twice about it - just give. Pray on it - Lord WHAT are you asking me to give up? HOW MUCH can i give? Seriously, in whatever situation you find yourself, the Lord blesses those who give. Even more than they think they can afford to give up. As Francis Chan so eloquently puts in his book Crazy Love, "If you really want to experience God's supernatural provision, then do as He says. Test Him. Give MORE than you can manage, and see how He responds" . Oh, how He will bless you. How He will provide. Give up that cup of coffee every morning for a week. Set aside a night's tips for Haiti. Give up buying that new pair of shoes or jeans. Don't go out to eat for a week and give up that money. Just give. Think of how far a little money can go. Donations and support and prayers are so what Haiti needs. Though their hope may be shattered, how we can help in restoring that hope and that joy by showing them the generous love of God through our time and donations. By blessing them through the gifts and prosperity we have. Please please PLEASE give.
He who gives to the poor will lack nothing - Proverbs 28:27
