Help for Haiti !!! – “To do nothing is to feel nothing.”

I finally brought myself to the computer to view the aftermath of the earthquake that devastated Haiti on Tuesday. The pictures, videos, and stories all did their part to tear away sense of bliss I had previous to my viewing.  Pictures, much like this one, reminded me how vulnerable we are to sudden tragedy.

It felt like I was there, walking helplessly among those who lost their house, family, and trusted faced that looked for in their neighborhoods. I watched as hundreds of bodies and bloody faces were piled into the makeshift morgues & hospitals.

The thought hit me, “What can I do to help?” At first, I figured there was nothing I could do but pray both for my feinting heart, and for a people in dire need.

This morning, the Lord answered my innocent question.  We cannot just sit back and accept that we cannot do anything.  We have to find a difference.  “To Do nothing is to Feel Nothing.” We cannot allow distance and geography to coerce our humanity into a dormant state of indifference.  You can help. No matter how insignificant it might seem.  You just haven’t found the way to as yet.  Keep looking, as I am, and God will reveal the way He wants to use you to show His love and Salvation.
