For those of us who are Christians, this graphic should be extremely challenging.

If you don’t see why this should be challenging, check out Deuteronomy 10.8; Psalm 10.14, 68.5, 146.9; Isaiah 1.17; John 14.18; James 1.27. Not only are there plenty of other verses about God’s adopting us into his families, but these verses show that how we care for the orphans is extremely important in God’s economy. Admittedly, adoption is hard, and should not be entered into lightly. However, if we take our faith seriously, the Church should be stepping up and filling the need, trusting in God to give us His strength to care for these “least of these”. Thanks to the Bair Foundation (a south-central PA Christian adoption agency which specializes in special needs adoption) for the graphic.
