We must acknowledge that all suffering is valid pain. The suffering in rich nations is internal psychological pain. It is extremely relevant; it is deep. People feel it, and it is just as real as a bloated belly, people starving, or disease and death. If we are to be Jesus’ hands and feet, we need to care about the needs of others – internally and externally. The currency of love in the West is not always money, but it is always time and compassion.
[...] to heal an orphan spirit in [the West] takes love, compassion, a lot of time, and undivided attention toward one another.
