		<description><![CDATA[This song by Tenth Avenue North is my song for Asrat. I pray that he realizes that he is more than the choices that he's made, more than the sum of his past mistakes, and more than the problems he creates (or thinks he creates). I pray that he will find healing, mercy and grace at the feet of the cross and that he will carry no shame from what others have done to him.<p>Post from: <a href="http://theforsakenchildren.org">The Forsaken Children</a><br/><br/><a href="http://theforsakenchildren.org/you-are-more/">You Are More</a></p>

A number of years ago a couple of ordinary guys had their hearts broken 100,000 times over on the streets of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It turned out that God’s heart was breaking as well.<p>Post from: <a href="http://theforsakenchildren.org">The Forsaken Children</a><br/><br/><a href="http://theforsakenchildren.org/heartbreakers/">Heartbreakers</a></p>
