In the devastation left after the Haiti earthquake, the heaviest blow is falling on the weakest: children. Already poor, underfed and underschooled, tens of thousands of Haiti's children now face the cruelest catastrophe: They are alone. Their parents are dead or have disappeared in the chaos. They have lost their homes, their friends, their sense of security. They are hungry, bleeding and afraid — of the present and of the future.
I long for this day...
Rev. 21:1-5:
21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” 5 And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.”
