We have a camper from Mexico, one from Dubai, and several other challenging situations all thrown together in one cabin. Some have grown up in homes that knew no love. Some have never had an authority figure in their life. Some have been bounced from house to house, with no place to call home. Some have grown up in unsafe neighborhoods. They have not had the easiest lives to say the least.
But these girls are God's precious children. They may have never been seen as prized and beloved by their own families, but they are beautiful daughters of Our God. They may been viewed as "rough" by the world, but they are just as treasured as we are in God's eyes.
This week is a challenge. Their stories break my heart, and I want to mend all of their hearts. That is not my job though, my job is to love them in a way that they will never forget. Even when they turn their backs and try to push me away, I will keep loving on them, just as our Father never quits loving us when we turn away from Him. They are precious and loved. So beautiful!
