I've always asked..

I've always asked God, "Break my heart for what breaks yours," well, He did it, I'm broken.

Today in church, there was a missionary from Tanzania, he put me to tears. He said, (correct me if I'm wrong) "5,000 people find Jesus everyday in (idk if it was Africa or just Tanzania), but 6,000 die everyday from water related illness."

WOAH.

Let me slam some more facts on you that I've learned this week:

- A child dies every 5 seconds because of starvation
- 1.3 billion people in the world are living on less than a dollar a day
- More than 26,000 children die everday under the age of five

Did I blow you're mind yet? Think about how crazy it is. This is short but I'm going to leave you with something that will probably get you thinking.

"Sometimes I would like to ask God, why He allows poverty, famine and injustice in the world, when He could do something about it…but I’m afraid He might ask me the same question."
