I want to share with you a few lines from the beginning of that article. A newborn child is a mystery. We are amazed how something so tiny and vulnerable survives the ordeal of birth. We wonder at the delicate hands and small gestures and loud sounds that come from such small bodies. There is also a fierce dignity of the newly born that sometimes startles us.
Every newborn child is a new creation, and the unique personality of each child is beyond reckoning.
These authors then go on to point out that, in spite of the wonder of a newborn child, many do not treat children in a way that conforms to their wonder. If that is true in our nation, it must not be true among God s people who live in this nation. We must not be indifferent about the plight of children. We must care deeply and passionately about their well-being. It does not matter what race they are.
