.A Heart for Orphans.

But understand this is not about me.

Not about my family.

I am not trying to get you all on "my side".

This is about God and the truth of His Word. His Word very clearly lays out our responsibility to orphans.

His Word demands me to speak out about what I know to be true. Some of you already know the truth, but still are ignoring it. I pray that God would break your heart for what breaks His and keep you up at night thinking and praying over the orphans all over the world who have no voice. It is our obligation as Christians to defend them. It is part of the fruit of our faith talked about in James. Without it our faith is dead. Yes, it is that serious!

I have become soft here and let naysayers silence me for a bit. But I have come to realize that when I get to heaven God is not going to tell me Tiffany, you cared too much for the orphans, you talked too much about the fatherless, you made their stories too known, you welcomed too many into your home, and your heart was too big for orphans. I called you, as a believer to take care of these little ones, but you were too passionate. You made people uncomfortable by raising awareness of orphans and speaking boldly about what My Word says in regards to them.

So, I will silence the whispers of Satan and boldly proclaim the truth once again.

The Bible wasn't silent on this subject, Jesus wasn't silent on this subject, and I will not be silent either.

Some of you might still be blinded. I am praying specifically for you.

Please give me your ear for just 30 minutes. Listen to this while doing dishes or making dinner. It is worth your sacrifice of time. Steven Curtis Chapman and Mary Beth Chapman were on Focus on the Family sharing about adoption today. Just listen, please. And if you can honestly walk away from it saying that the Bible demands nothing of you in this area well that is between you and God, and you might as well stop reading my blog.

Here is the broadcast.

Not every family may be suited to adopt....I think most are. Love that quote!!

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice." Proverbs 31:8-9

.Precious in His Sight.

Day in and day out, he awakes and still he is alone. Oh, the room is filled with others, but in his heart he knows aloneness like the back of his hand.

Who will sing the lullabies over your crib each night?

Who will pray for your safety, your growth, your future?

What if you fall? Is there no one who can swoop you up and kiss the tears away?

No one cheers you on as you attempt to reach the next milestone.

There is no celebration for those tentative first steps on chubby little feet.

How can it be that the words Mommy and Daddy are foreign to your vocabulary?

Your heart longs for something you have no control over.

Family.

147 million.

147 million children will close their eyes today with no lullaby sung over them, no prayers prayed for them, no parents dreaming of them.

But they are precious in His sight.

They were made in the likeness of their Creator.

Jesus loves the little children.
All the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black, brown, white.
They are precious in His sight.
Jesus loves the little children of the world.

They are no different than our children whom we tuck into safe, little beds, and carry snug in our arms.



No, we cannot do everything.

But we must do something.


Psalm 82:3-4 Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy;deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

Right now God has asked me to be the mommy to one. He has also asked me to defend and advocate for those who cannot defend or advocate for themselves....

for they truly are precious in His sight.

It's time to start living like we believe that.
