I loved this and it really seemed to hit home. This came through my email on Thursday and in being with Joshua and worried about him and his friendship issues, plus with Ayva and her unknown future.... it just helps to be reminded...
God's Heart for Parents by Max Lucado
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all - how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Romans 8:32
God has a heart for hurting parents. Should we be surprised? No, after all, God himself is a Father!
Are you separated from your child? So was God. Is someone mistreating your child? They mocked and bullied his.
Is someone taking advantage of your children? The Son of God was set up and betrayed by a greedy follower. Are you forced to watch while your child suffers? God watched his son on the cross.
But because of his great love for us, "he did not spare his own son but gave him for us all. So with Jesus, God will surely give us all things!" All things must include courage and hope!
Your child may not be in your arms - but your child is safely in his!
Cast all your cares on Him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
Just another verse that is a great reminder....
