Providing hope

This physical pain and thirst indicate devotion, submission and a desire for acceptance. This aching hunger for acceptance and intimacy propels us as Christians to share we are loved and accepted not by what we do as humans but because we are made in His image. Hope through the gospel is within reach. 

Pray they will find their worth and value in their Creator.
