It breaks my heart to read of people's suffering. I can't stand to read about the abuse of little children, or teenagers. Hearing of spouse abuse cuts me to the core. James, the brother of Jesus, chapter 1 verse 27, taken from the same quote I left earlier says that pure religion is caring for the poor and the needy.
http://scriptures.lds.org/james/1/27#27I wish I could care for the poor and the needy of the whole entire earth. I wish I could heal all the pain and take away the suffering, but I can't. I can hope though, and I can pray. so, that is what I will do. and increase my donation to humanitarian aid.
