ALL GOD'S CHILDREN

THE MONITOR ARTICLE "In gritty Karachi, husband-wife team saves unwanted babies" has a happy ending for many children who have been abandoned (July 14).

The issue of abandoned children in various parts of the world tugs at the heart of many people, particularly those who have had to wait a long time to have very much wanted and longed-for children. The thought of any child being born unwanted is painful one.

This situation is a call to prayer. One way to pray for these children is to turn to God for a deeper understanding of His love for His children, both the ones we usually think of as children, and their parents, at least some of whom may be little more than children themselves. Each child, as the image and likeness of our Father-Mother God, already has a place in infinite Love—a place where he or she has an inheritance that nothing can take away.
