This was especially meaningful…….

“As Christians, our hope is not in some good thing that may come to be. We cling to hope with certainty that God is sovereign over all, that He loves and cares for our children.”

My son left to join the Navy, and for awhile we were very close. He was 19 years old when he left and had been brought up in the church all his life! Home wasn’t always the way it should have been, but God was and still is the center of our lives! Their Dad left me with all 4 of them when they were young, and I remarried when they were teenagers! Big Mistake! Anyway he came home from leave and they shipped him out to Japan for 3 years! In the meantime he had to go to Illinois for special training. The Muslims got ahold of him and brainwashed him! We are a Black Family that lived in an all White neighborhood, and the city we lived in only had a population of 1% Black! The Muslims made him feel good about himself as a Black Young Man, but told him he couldn’t have anything to do with us because we were “Christians”, and if we didn’t convert to their way, we should be killed! We were “Infidels”! He left for Egypt and married a little Muslim over there, and I hadn’t seen him in over 16 years! I ALWAYS would send him and email, or from time to time try calling him! He would come in from time to time to San Diego to get briefed on an assignment, but he would NEVER come see me! Different ones would tell me he came to see them. God lifted the hurt, and I never felt bad toward him. In 2011 I was on my way to Egypt on a Mission Trip, and I told the LORD I wanted to see him and the family I had never met. He NEVER would answer any of my calls , and on the last day we were to be there, I told God I would always love him and I would keep telling people about him, but I would never tell another person God was for families, b/c he didn’t do anyting for me with Chris! I went back upstairs and told my room mate I wasn’t going to try anymore, since we would be leaving the next day! The phone rang in our room, and he stated momma, we would love for you to come! I had a great time with them all, but I have never seen him again! It has been over 10 years now. I still send him emails every week, and everynow and then he will at least give me a call! I trust God. In Isaiah 49:25-26 God said he would contend with those who contended with me, and he would SAVE MY CHILDREN! I know that his Word is true, and it is impossible for God to lie! If I don’t get to see him down here, as I used to tell all my children, I will be standing at the gate waiting for you, because you will be there! Thank you for letting me write this! This is true what you say that God IS ALWAYS WITH THEM! God bless you.

Thanks for the reminder that God is with our prodigals even when we can’t.
