I sponsor a child in Cambodia under the Transform Cambodia program and a few years ago, I had the opportunity to visit him. He was a thin scrawny little 8-year old kid I could easily carry on one arm. We visited his home (a dingy one bedroom unit in a block of rundown flats) which he shared with his parents and 4 other siblings.
The highlight of his day was going to school at a day care center ran by Transform Cambodia. At the center we met up with the local Cambodian staff and it amazed me how they carried such a culture of gratefulness and simple faith. Many of the kids and staff did not have much to eat outside the center, many had families who were jobless or struggling for money or had to live on the streets. Yet, they did not worry, they were not fearful or even envy us! They just believed God had brought them this far and would not give up on them!
Many of us enjoy much more comfortable and secure lives. So let's not allow fears, doubts and worries shake us. God's not looking for perfection or for great big faith; all God requires from us is a little simple faith of just saying Amen!
Mark 10:15
Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
2 Corinthians 1:20
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.
