God's Love

Wow! What an emotional day. As I mentioned before I am an avid follower of MckMamma. Her son Stellan had an ablation yesterday to help cure his SVT. It has been heartbreaking for me to see this beautiful little boy go through such turmoil. This morning as I logged into her blog to learn more about his current state I found a link to Kaleigh's Story. She was born in June of 2008 and is still in the NICU. I have not had time to read her entire story but basically as of this morning they were having difficulty getting a response from her. Tests are being run to find out what is wrong.

As I read these stories my heart breaks. Why does God allow these things to happen to such beautiful and innocent babies? I don't know the answer to this, but what I do know is that God is working. He is using these stories and these families to bear witness to His miracles and love. He is using these blogs to reach out to thousands of people across the world, spreading His word and His truth. God has chosen these precious children to carry His message. And how better to carry His message than through infants, He came to this Earth as an infant.......talk about a circle of life!

As I read about and pray for these families my heart breaks. I look at my own infant daughter and cannot bear to imagine her in a state similar to these other children. I think of the complications we had when my son was born and get on my knees and thank God that it wasn't more serious. My story is not as sad as some of these other stories (and I am so thankful) but it did teach me lessons. Lessons that I will carry throughout my time here on this Earth, until I meet my Savior. And one of those lessons is that God is great. He is greater than any power on this planet and He is the source of life. We live so that He may live - I truly believe that.

Please continue to pray for these families and visit them at their blogs. They have truly amazing stories and testimonies to God's greatness.

Lord - Please be with Stellan and Kaliegh. Please be with their families. Please provide them with the strength and courage they need during this trying time. We know that their fates are in your hands, Lord. I simply pray for peace - peace of mind, a peaceful heart, and a calming peace that is only evident in your presence. I pray that you lay your hands over Stellan, Kaleigh, and their parents so that they may feel you and know that you are in control. You are an almighty God and can do great things for them and through them. Thank you for sending their messages out so that others may find you. I am so grateful that I am able to see you at work in the lives of these precious children. Thank you Lord for saving me and for forgiving me of my sins. Thank you for allowing me into your kingdom Lord.
In your precious and Holy name.....Amen.
