I wish there was a 'Delete' button for pain and suffering...

There has always been pain and suffering in this world...every Country, every City, Every Village ...when we in our cozy homes, sit and complain for the little that we lack... yes we must have gone through much, through the years...but there is so much need in the world...when I look at my own self I don't like to complain because my pain is not greater than the one living in a slum in some city...or my pains are nothing compared to that girl trapped in a brothel for many years...who has been silenced...for some one else's profit... I read a survey that said that, an estimated 27 million people are enslaved...and the overwhelming majority of those trafficked into slavery are women and children...and an average age of a victim is 14...this is just one example... Isaiah 61: 1 says -
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted...
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners...

Again and again, God reminds me that its not about me...but about those out there...we travel in public transports...we cannot even imagine what, the stranger next to us is going through...and I believe that's the reason why we are called, to spread his love, through whatever little we can contribute, in our own unique way..
