Compassion Letter Writing #6: Special and Chosen

After going through the letters from my sponsored kids, several common themes seemed to emerge. Two of those themes are "special" and "chosen."

* As sponsors, we are special to our sponsored kids. They also need to know that they are special, valuable and worthy, uniquely created by God, in order to combat the lies of poverty that they hear every day.

* There is a definite awareness among sponsored kids that they have been chosen, and for various reasons they often struggle to comprehend why. This is no small thing, particularly if they or others close to them have been waiting a long time for a sponsor. In the letters I have often been asked questions along the lines of "What made you choose me?"
