A Measure of Faith

My greatest privilege in parenting is the assurance of God that He has heard my prayer and His answer to it is "Yes and Amen".   Through faith in my God, I am able to rest knowing that  "His sovereign current will take my children to their final destination"  --their eternal home with Him!  ( quote of Rev. Ryan Young)   What a beautiful image.  Wrapping them in prayer and setting them in the river.  Knowing that though they walk in Egypt; Egypt will not walk them.  Nothing can separate us from the love of God.  Nothing we do will cause Him to take his love from us.  What a promise!  What a gift!

Through the years, there have  been few encouragements that have resonated in my spirit to the degree that this timely Word has.  It has strengthened my soul.  Obliterated the weariness and  caused me to pick up my cross and continue, knowing the joy that is set before me! 

We are instructed to put our hand to the plow and not look back.  We are encouraged to not grow weary in well doing.  As a parent, I have to admit, I had grown weary, deep in my soul. It is gut-wrenching to see your children follow after the things of this world and loose sight of that which is eternal.  But God...He will not snuff out the smoldering flax!   He renews our strength and allows us to soar on wings of eagles!

This week has been a battle.  A battle fought and, by faith, won,  on my knees and on my face before the Lord.  Though my body is spent and exhausted, my spirit is alive with anticipation to see that which has been sealed in my heart, for my children, come to pass.

I believe God has given me a "measure of faith" to pray and partner with you, for your children.  If this message is for you, and you would like me to partner with you in prayer, leave a comment with the name of your child/children.  It is my great honor to believe with you for them.  Amen
