Whose Child is this?

In "The Hole in the Gospel", Richard Stearns says that we see children in the developing countries as other people's children. For example, if you read about a child who is starving in Africa, it would seem far remote from you. But if one day you come home, and you find a child sitting outside your door, and he is starving to death, you would immediately bring food out to save this child.
Whose child is this? The question is asked.
Until we can identify with these children, and these children become personal to us, they would always be other people's children.
But they are Daddy God's children, each of them precious to Him, and He sees each as His own.
 
So my question again, Whose child is this?
 
When you can answer this question...your heart breaks with Father God...

Yes.. i think i have a special soft spot for children now, after having a child of my own. Reading about other children going through pain / surgery etc will make me cry cos i would imagine what if it's my child who had to go through that?
