They are told God loves them, which He does! But how are they going to know that love? I know of God's love from others. From my parents as a baby, teachers growing up, friends, strangers. How are they supposed to know God's love when they are surrounded by such suffering? Us. God gave them us.
We must show them His love if they are ever to know it.
Not just a one time thing. Everyday. Jesus took our sins as his burden. Their burden must be ours as ours is His. Taking up their burden so they may know the love of Jesus. Striving everyday to become more like Jesus, to become smaller. Less me, more Him. He became so small that He literally allowed Himself to be eaten. Can I become that small? To be eaten by others? To take up their burdens so they may know Christ?
"If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it." - Mother Teresa
