Breaks my heart

Over the last year I have learned a lot of things, I've changed in many ways, and many things about the way I live my life have been confirmed that I'm moving in the right direction. But one thing that I have really noticed lately is how God has begun to break my heart for the things that break His.

Currently I'm seeking another church position, and God is showing me that life is meant to be lived one day to the next. In this time of transition I'm working for my cousin cleaning out foreclosed homes. You see a lot of things, things people collected but had no where to take. You see the way people lived, and in some way, however small it may be, you find out what people lived for.

The last house was one of the most heartbreaking. The woman who had lived there seems to have made a living as a stripper. I got into the home after the other two guys I work with had arrived, and immedeatly I got rid of all of the pornogrophy that hung on the walls, and littered the floor. But amid all of the porn were a pictures of a beautiful baby girl.

Getting through the kitchen the first door to the left was the little girls room. Her walls were covered with Dora the Explorer stickers, in the corner was a little toy vanity set. All over her room there were toys. This little girl was forced to be exposed to the lifestyle of her mother. And as much as my heart breaks for her, my heart breaks even more for her mom. A young woman, we found her id card, and she is just a year older than me, but she's trapped in a degrading life style were men desire her simply for her body, they simply seek pleasure at her expense.

I don't know her story, but I do know that she is loved by her Daddy, the King of the universe. I know that His heart breaks for her and her daughter. My heart breaks for them, and I simply hope someone is there to show them the love of their Daddy.
