Orphans - a charge to the church

I read this blog post today and I couldn't agree more:

"...So much of this has come from searching my own heart. I've mistakenly assumed the Lord wasn't calling us to adopt a child with special needs or a much older child. But I realized that if I am going to claim that our family cares for the fatherless, we have to really search our hearts for what that looks like for us. We cannot just look past the hard to place children because that's not our "calling."  I don't think the problem is that God isn't calling people to care for these children. 

These aren't numbers. These are living, breathing souls who need families and Jesus.

I think God wants to see the Church step up and wrap around the cause of the orphan. It's big and messy and complicated and I believe each part of the body has a unique role in it. These are HIS children, after all, and He has a good and perfect plan for each one."
