My heart broke a little bit 2 Sundays ago.
Our church is a supporter of Love 146. Their mission is simple, yet complicated and hard. It is to end child trafficking and exploitation.
Isn't that sad? Sad that we have to have mission statements that include child trafficking and exploitation…
A reminder of just how broken our world truly is.
We all sat there on Sunday morning, with tears streaming down our face watching a video filled with horrible, horrible details on a childhood that really wasn't a childhood. But through the ugly, sad and unbearable we were reminded of the power of mercy and justice.
Sunday was a reminder about compassion. About going where it hurts to mourn with those that are lonely, to become weak with those that are weak and powerless. To become fully immersed in the problems of this world so that compassion creates change.
"…show kindness and mercy to one another, do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor, and let none of you devise evil against another in your heart." Zechariah 7:8-10
Love these lyrics…

SARA BAREILLES LYRICS
"Brave"
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a
weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of
somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the
way that words do
When they settle ‘neath your
skin
Kept on the inside and no
sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would
happen if you
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be
brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be
brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
Everybody’s been there,
Everybody’s been stared down
by the enemy
Fallen for the fear
And done some disappearing,
Bow down to the mighty
Don’t run, just stop holding
your tongue
Maybe there’s a way out of
the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you
can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be
brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be
brave
And since your history of
silence
Won’t do you any good,
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything
but empty
Why don’t you tell them the
truth?
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be
brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be
brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
See you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I
just wanna see you
