“Your
eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all
were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.” – Psalms 139:16
Years back I was asked
to preach in a prayer centre. It was an evening service and once I finished
preaching, I saw a couple coming towards me with something in their hand.
Initially I had thought that someone had missed something and so they want it
to handover the thing to me so that I can give it to the people in charge of
that prayer centre.
But as they came near
to me, I saw tears flowing in that woman’s face. She was tired and exhausted.
She handed to me the little thing that she was carrying in her hand. It’s
actually a little girl’s photo. She could not speak much as she was crying a
lot. Her husband told me that they had a daughter and as she had grown up she
got a particular disease and immediately she died.
They could not
overcome the sorrow and so they came to that prayer centre to pray to God to
give them comfort and another child. As I prayed for them they were crying and
crying. I could not comfort them at all. But I strongly believe by this time
though I am not in touch with them, God would have blessed them with a child
and comforted them.
God has graciously
given a child to you. As your little child grows up, you might face any kind of
difficulties. Often your little child does some mischievous things that might
put you in trouble. Your child might provoke your anger through his/her deeds.
But remember, God has
given you that child. He has fashioned the days of your child. He has created
your child with a purpose and entrusted the responsibility in your hands. At
any time, you should not feel that it will be better if you had no child at
all.
There were so many
people around you are crying without a child. There were so many who had lost
their little children before they grew up. Their pain was so bad. But yet God
has given you a child and you should learn to say thanks to God for the child
He has given you.
Be grateful to God for
the child He has given you and always praise Him for the great things He is
doing in your life. Keep praying for your child. God will touch your child’s
life.
