Makes me sad
I was just watched three videos on a website a friend has put together about sex trafficking. I am Coming
It seems so unbelievable to me that this happens in our world. That so many women have been sexually abused and are being sexually abused. I don't want to believe it, I don't want to care. Because if I do believe and care, then my heart has the chance to break. It's too overwhelming and huge for me to care.
I read a fiction book a while ago, I don't remember what it was called, about a woman who as a child had been held in a basement and raped over and over by men who had paid for it. When she was finally rescued, she was afraid the cops had come to arrest her, she had trouble believing that they had come to rescue her, that they weren't going to hurt her.
How many little girls are right now locked in rooms where all they know is pain? I don't want to think about it. But for a moment I will think about it and pray for those girls. God please be there with them, hold them close and never let them go. Save them.
Today I was thinking about how God has shown me that he cares about me, that I'm special. Not more special than anyone else, but special to him. I pray that all these girls, and probably a lot of boys, would know that they are special too.
So even though, I don't want to believe that such horrible things happen in our world, I choose believe, and I choose to care. I chose to sign the declaration on the website, and I hope you take the time to watch the videos and choose to too.
