\u201cSo don\u2019t be afraid: I\u2019m with you. I\u2019ll round up all your scattered children, pull them in from east and west. I\u2019ll send orders north and south: \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/strong>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, persona<\/em><\/strong>lly formed and made each one.” <\/em><\/strong>(<\/em>-God)\u00a0<\/em>Isaiah\u202c \u202d43:5-7\u202c \u202dMSG\u202c\u202c<\/p>\n

For years now I have gathered verses about my kids. Anything encouraging and peace-bringing. I want to be reminded<\/strong>\u00a0God loves them<\/em>, that He watches over them and that He holds them close. I want assurance<\/strong> of His glory working in their lives!<\/p>\n

Maybe at times I\u00a0go too far and\u00a0take promises that aren’t mine to take, or believe too much on their behalf… but God knows my fierce mother’s-heart and hopefully gives me slack. Ok, maybe a lot of slack.<\/p>\n

Since the phrase\u00a0“your faith” <\/strong><\/em>is used some 2188 times\u00a0in the New Testament, I think God likes it. If I make a mistake, may it be on the side of having BIG faith in a BIG God, who I believe with all my heart- can do far more than I ask or even imagine!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

So in that, I will continue to believe for their salvation and maturity in Christ – not because of what I see and hear, but because of what Almighty God is capable<\/em>\u00a0of! \u00a0🙌🏽<\/p>\n

These souls I helped produce, were long-ago dedicated to Him, and have daily been laid before Him.\u00a0They are His<\/em> in Jesus’ name!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

ForGlorySake! –<\/strong>Anna<\/em><\/p>\n
