No greater love than this...



My heart is breaking for a brief moment and I feel the pain...the isolation...the sadness the children feel deep within. At first glance these children appear as any other child. They play and laugh and have their silly moments. But a closer look takes you deeper into their thoughts and feelings.. into their hurts and pain...the feelings of abandonment... loneliness ...heartache...

Last week, while visiting with the children, one young 12 year old boy, GunHo, and I were browsing through old photo books children who lived there throughout the years. We browsed through the books looking for photos of him as a baby. GunHo then turned to me and asked, "When were you here?" Together we browsed through the year 1979 looking for any photos of my face. At that precise moment a quiet voice whispered to my heart..."This is why you are here at this specific point in time...back at SungNoWon~~~~ To be a spokesperson to these children and assure them that they are so loved....an everlasting LOVE so greater than anything any imagination~~~~. The connection between me and the children stretches far greater than words....it is all BEAUTIFUL and WONDROUS and PRECIOUS.... a LOVE that is so incredibly immense and deep that I know it has to come from a Source far beyond me! To be back in Korea... at SungNoWon~the exact place and time planned for me all along, from day one before the creation of the world. It is the very reason I was given life~~~~~~~
