I took a walk this evening when the stars were just beginning to put on their show...
Lift up your eyes on high, And see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, By the greatness of His might And the strength of His power; Not one is missing. Isaiah 40:26
These words were the Lord’s promise to me for each of our three children; not one of them would be missing from His presence.
Yes! This was my prayer for each of our precious, funny, beautiful, talented, generous, and smart-beyond-years kids. I was desperate in prayer for them– even when I was a hot mess, needing more prayer than they ever did. I was contending for their lives, praying they would fall in love with the Lord Jesus and love Him more than life itself. If that took place – and it did – I wouldn’t have to be concerned about anything else regarding them.
Who do you hold dear that is missing from the Lord’s embrace at this moment? Grab hold of Him and don’t give up. Your heart’s cry will not be in vain. The Lord is calling their names as you read this.
