This Boy

I first wrote this post on August 17, 2009...I am reposting it and asking you to pray.

This boy...

chosen by God

marked for a purpose

Floundering

wondering

why and when will he know

"Don't we all have a purpose"?

Yes.

"I don't"

Oh yes son, you do!!

This boy...

with a heart toward God

yet a heart overcome with fear.

A heart filled with sadness

Loss

Feeling unworthy

Questions

"I pray but

He doesn't hear me

He doesn't bless me"

This boy

wonders what he did.

How do you tell him that he did nothing.

Wondering why his dad left

why is his mom sick

why can't he do better in school

Why?

No answers.

But this I know.

This boy...

is loved!

This boy...

loves!

This boy

may not feel blessed

but he IS a blessing.

This boy will be used by God.

He will have a story.

He will reach out.

This boy...

how I love him.

Thank you God, for entrusting him to me.

Show Me

I get to start a new Bible study this morning. I never thought I would get to go back after I became ill...I am sooo excited. We are studying the book of Isaiah for the entire year. If you have been around here long, you know that is my favorite book in the entire Bible.

For now would you just listen to the words of this song. Trust me there is a correlation between the song and starting Bible study. I'll be back to share my heart on another day.





Off to see the beauty in God's Word this morning,
