Trusting God "Trusting God with what we love the most"
Proverbs 3 (verse 5) Trust in the Lord with all thine heart: and lean not unto thine own understanding. While reading this scripture, I remembered when my 16 year old called me from the holding tank at a small city close to where we live. When I answered the phone my first question was "what's wrong" I could hear the seriousness in his voice and the fear as he replied they said I killed this man. My heart dropped to my stomach and rose to my throat, I grabbed my purse and rushed out the door. The fear of what was going to happen to my son was so overwhelming, I couldn't think of anything else for a minute. As I began to drive, I began to pray without ceasing and knew "GOD" wasn't going to put more on me or my son than we could bare. I was told a couple of days before this happened I had to trust "GOD" with what I loved the most and at the time it was my son, he was defiant, skipping school, stealing and talking back. It seemed the more I prayed and anointed his room and belongings the worse things got. I knew the love I had for my son was the love my Father has for me and I had to trust "GOD" with my son and the cross he had to bare, when I got to the jail they had already sent him to juvenile hall. The sorrow my soul felt was beyond human understanding and I knew I had to acknowledge the Lord and ask him to direct my path in this situation because only He could help me see His glory in this situation. All kinds of thoughts ran through my mind about what I needed to do. I was angry, hurt and wanted to find something to blame. My son was caught with an older man and at the time I wanted the older man to take the blame and my son be freed. Yet my heart continued to weep for the Lord and I had to pray for that man as well and knew this was a testimony not just for my son but the work my son was going to do for the Lord, it had nothing to do with me. At that moment I knew my place was on my knees praying, staying focused and leaving the results up to God and to give Thanks to the Lord for what he was doing, what he had done and what was going to be done. I went to visit my son a week-end ago and received a letter from him, in this letter he stated I didn't need to stress, he was okay with whatever God was going to do with him and knew he was being watched by angels day and night and would be protected where ever God took him. I knew at this point my prayers were not in vain and my son had found GOD for himself and had a personal relationship with the Savior. In closing what we may think is an ending is only a new beginning, St. Matthew chapter 15 (verse 24) But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. I give all thanks to the all mighty GOD above and all Glory unto Him Amen Lil Butterfly
