The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

During a time of seeking God, I want to be open to God speaking, however he chooses to speak. This morning my wife shared with me that she had stumbled across an Instagram post and she showed it to me and frankly, it blew me away, on every level. For some of us, perhaps especially those who are estranged from our children, the future is a dark and uncertain place. Will we ever see our children again? What is happening to them? Will they ever turn back to God? Will they ever turn back to us? Hearing testimony like this encourages me to keep praying for our children, I hope you are encouraged by this:

Father in heaven, thank you and praise you that you hear the sincere prayer and the casual, you are ready to speak to those who speak to you, and patient with our carelessness. You do not force us to love you or worship or serve you. Instead you invite us to welcome you into our lives. Bless you that you will fill each of us with your love and peace and joy if we will open ourselves up to you. Father, do not give up on our children. Pursue them. Call them. May our children experience the wonder and miracle of encountering the God who created the universe, and who chooses to live in our hearts. Amen
