They rise in the darkness as a light for the upright; they are gracious, merciful, and righteous. It is well with those who deal generously and lend, who conduct their affairs with justice. Psalm 112:4-5 "These people without possessions, these strangers, these powerless, these sinners, these followers of Jesus live with Him now also in the renunciation of their own dignity, for they are merciful. As if their own need and lack were not enough, they share in other people’s need, debasement, and guilt. They have an irresistible love for the lowly, the sick, for those who are in misery, for those who are demeaned and abased, for those who suffer injustice and are rejected, for everyone in pain and anxiety. They seek out all those who have fallen into sin and guilt. No need is too great, no sin too dreadful for mercy to reach. The merciful give their own honor to those who have fallen into shame and take that shame unto themselves. They may be found in the company of tax collectors and sinners and willingly bear the shame of their fellowship. Disciples give away anyone’s greatest possession, their own dignity and honor, and show mercy. They know only one dignity and honor, the mercy of their Lord, which is their only source of life." When I think of the saints in the Back to Jerusalem movement, I get a picture of true mercy. Let's pray for the children of those who have forsaken all and left their families for the sake of the gospel and who are living out Bonhoeffer's words every day of their lives.

Have you ever felt an urge to pray for the deliverance of children who need freedom and then days or weeks later you hear of children in the news who have been discovered in someone's basement, a new born found in a dumpster, a cult discovered with child brides? When God starts revealing invisible children to you, their physical freedom is only part of their deliverance, their minds and are hearts may be in spiritual and emotional bondage for years to come. If you are called to pray for invisible children, continue to pray long after their physical deliverance, pray until you sense a release from the Lord that they are indeed freed by Jesus. "If the Son shall set you free, you shall be free indeed."
