In His Loving Arms

A message of Hope for the parent of the wandering child…

Some words from our Father,

My heart aches with yours as your children stray from the teachings of Me that you so lovingly instilled in them. My eye has not turned away from them. There are lessons each one must learn so that they will come to better understand Who I am and who I have created them to be. Just like you, they will come back. I have them in My Loving Arms. Trust Me and draw hope and faith from My Words.

Prov 22:6 (MSG)

Point your kids in the right direction – when they’re old they won’t be lost.

Isa 43:4-7 (MSG)

That’s how much you mean to me! That’s how much I love you! I’d sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you. So don’t be afraid: I’m with you. I’ll round up all your scattered children, pull them in from east and west. I’ll send orders north and south: ‘Send them back. Return my sons from distant lands, my daughters from faraway places. I want them back, every last one who bears my name, every man, woman, and child Whom I created for my glory, yes, personally formed and made each one.

Isa 43:1b (MSG)

Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine.

I feel God wants to encourage us dear friends today, especially during this Christmas Season not to loose heart. God is at work in our  child’s life. He has not given up on them. Draw on His strength that He gives us from the Holy Spirit. We are His instruments and have had to make some tough choices on their behalf. The road of a parent is not an easy one and sometimes it can be very lonely.

Don’t let the enemy consume you with despair, hopelessness and fear. Don’t let him distract you from the Word of Truth. God’s promises are Yes and Amen. Rejoice in the Lord, in His Faithfulness. Remember we walk by faith.

Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Love unconditionally with His Love. Entrust your child with Jesus. Continue to pray for their protection and their hearts to be turned back to Him, step back and worship Him for He is worthy to be praised.

Nothing is too difficult for our God. He loves them and us so much that He came down to earth to reconcile us back to Himself. Don’t give up, don’t loose heart and remember they are Still in His Loving Arms.
