“Don’t let abuse be your child’s story: Make a change. End child abuse”

The Child Development Division within the Ministry of National Mobilisation, etc. will be observing the annual Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month from April 1 – 30, 2024. This is in keeping with St. Vincent and the Grenadines' commitment to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The theme chosen for this year is “ Don’t let abuse be your child’s story: Make a change. End child abuse ” with a focus on child neglect and abandonment. This theme addresses our goals of informing parents of their tremendous power to prevent child abuse; to educate and increase awareness in homes, schools, and communities as we use positive promotional activities geared towards strengthening families and fostering a network between the Ministry, the Police and Communities. As part of the month’s activities, churches are invited to commemorate “ Blue Sundays .” This is an annual event where churches of all faiths are asked to pray for the victims of child abuse and to demonstrate

The Cry For Love

Bless the Lord Oh my soul and all that is within me. I will bless his holy name. For he is the rock of my salvation and the God in whom I will trust. I thank him for this morning and the many mornings in times past when he woke me up by his spirit and placed a song in my heart to sing. 

There is nothing greater than the love of God and it is most glorious when it is demonstrated by his people. So many persons are looking for love today. They try to connect with everything and anything that they believe will offer them that feeling of being loved. But real love can only be expressed through persons who have experienced it for themselves. And this experience is attained when one has found the love of the Almighty God who reigns forever. 

His love is the expression of Jesus Christ the only begotten son of the father, who sacrificed himself for all of us so that we don't have to die a premature death in sin. (Premature death is when one dies before fulfilling their purpose or destiny that they were created for). If God did not love us, he would not have given his son up to endure such cruelty, torture and even death, in hope that we would accept his love and return our love to him also. 

Being the God that he is, all knowing, all seeing and all powerful, he knew that there will be a company of people who understand his love. He knew that there will be people who will want this type of love because the love of man and things fail and can never compensate for the emptiness that over-shadows our humanity like never before.

The longing that you feel for acceptance and freedom from the inner turmoil that seems to overwhelm you from time to time, is crying out from within you for this unconditional love. The greatest love, the love that is found in one place only and supplied from one source only.

May you experience this love today. Your life will never be the same again!♥
