In her book Compelled by Love, Heidi Baker, a missionary in Mozambique, describes a condition we may all have. Or perhaps a touch of. She calls it an orphan spirit. In the Lord, we are adopted children with full access to everything in our Father's house but we live as if the things of God are for the special kids or the ones who really belong in the house or the ones He loves better. What we most need is completely available to us but we live as if someone has restricted our personal access.

Our mission this month begins with a woman who says "I love you" over and over again to a husband who gets annoyed with the repetition: "Do you think I've forgotten? Or don't know? ... Isn't there a point in a relationship where you just know it's true?"

Our mission ends with the story of an abandoned boy in Mozambique who finds freedom from his orphan spirit in a Village of Joy full of repetitive acts of "I love you" and unfettered access to a soda in the family fridge.

Curious? We sure hope so!
