Dear Kathy i know of your love for your Family and i will pray for your son to have a safe reurn from Irag from his second tour now, i have a story to share that i thought it might be of some help, it starts off ....lets just say it has a happy ending okay... love you Kathy. A story recently touched my heart. It's a story of a mother who
persisted in her love for a wayward daughter all the way to her death.
A precious Christian woman died recently. She has done a tremendous
work publicly for the Kingdom of God. However, she carried on a private
work of ministry that few people knew. Every night, for many years, she
called one of her daughters. This child has been a long time prodigal.
Although this daughter was raised in a loving Christian environment,
she has had very little interest in God in her subsequent adult years.
However, her mom kept calling, letting her know that no matter what,
she still loved her.
Now, suddenly, the phone calls have ended. How do you suppose that
daughter is feeling now? How she must miss those calls! But there is
still someone calling to her ... and to you!
Suddenly, the phone calls have ended!
Do you realize that someone has been calling you everyday? It's a voice
from heaven. Jesus Christ is calling to you: "Are you listening? Can
you hear me? Do you have any idea how much I love you? Do you
understand how badly I want to walk with you each day?"
Jesus loves you so much -- far more than a mother can love a daughter
and far more than any human lover. Jesus says, "Here I am! I'm standing
at your door and knocking. I'm hoping you will open that door and
invite me to come in! ... Please return the love you once had for me!"
(Revelation 3:20; Revelation 2:4, paraphrased and adapted)
On this day when so many are hoping to hear from a secret admirer or
someone they hope returns their feelings of love, don't miss the most
important call of your life! He's already demonstrated his love for
you!
Are you presently experiencing a new life? God's word says, "if anyone
is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has
come!" Your Prayer Warrior Kathy.
