Here is a very sad story about a thirteen year-old prostitute. When I read about children in situations like this, I can’t help but compare their life to that of my daughter. I think about what the world would be missing without someone like her in it and then I think about what the world is missing because these girls weren’t raised in a loving and nurturing environment. I think about what could have been, their potential to do great things that would have impacted society and those around them that will never be realized. I pray that they will one day realize that potential, that someone will reach out to them in true love, and show the sacrificial love of Christ.
