Mother to the motherless

“Father to the fatherless, defender of widows— this is God, whose dwelling is holy.”Psalms‬ ‭68‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I am not father to the fatherless but mother to the motherless. I am grateful that the Lord is Father. He is a good Father. He trains us in His ways. His training is not brutal, but lovingly persistent and kind.

The Lord defends me. I am not a widow but a divorcee. He still defends me. Praise Him! He does not discriminate. 

There are many orphans in Nepal. Either through desth or neglect. However, the government is not allowing any more children’s homes due to wanting to  exclude Christian organisations. Those who have permits are doing all they can. Still, many children are neglected. There are families where existing fathers are drunks. They steal all the money they can for another drink. This robs the children of food, clothing and schooling. A way around this is to empower the women to create businesses that support them and the children. However, they need help with a start.

In Bangladesh Grameen Bank was started to overcome this and was successful. A similar organization began in Nepal to do the same, but many business in Nepal become top heavy and the poor on the bottom become neglected.

I am praying for a godly solution. Please pray for me!
