Yesterday afternoon I was shocked with the news that my
little nephew Andrew had fallen out of his bouncy-chair and onto the floor. My
brother and mom rushed to her place to see what happened and take the poor kid
to the Dr and see if he needed to go to the Emergency Room. Upon arriving
there the Dr. examined him and found that he had probably broken his nose, but
that he would be alright in time. Precautions were made and my sister brought
him back home.
After his appointment he looked pretty badly bruised. Last
night he look pretty bruised but improving. I saw little Andrew this morning
and he was grinning and happy and barely bruised at all. In fact, at first I
couldn't see anything at all wrong with him! God had healed him quickly,
miraculously.
This experience has taught me a couple things that I would
like to share with you.
1) Prayer works. I sent out a facebook prayer request that
was responded to by quite a few people. I was praying, my siblings and parents
were praying. A lot of people were praying. I can tell by this traumatic situation
that the prayers worked. People kept their cool, and the baby was brought home
safe and sound.
2) God is watching over us. ALL of us. Even the little ones.
God watches, protects, and keeps his children safe. Even when something
horrible and life-threatening happens, God is there.
3) God has a saving grace. We are just like my nephew.
Children, babies, to God. We are His children. Just as He can pick up an infant
and save him from harm, he can save us. He is willing to save us. He will do
everything to take our heart and love us. We must simply choose to follow Him.
If we do that, we can be just like Andrew. Saved from a dangerous world, saved
from harm and brought into His saving grace.
God is ALWAYS good. And God is ALWAYS there.
Psalm 139: 7-18--
"Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I
flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are
there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on
the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there
your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If
I say, 'Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around
me,' even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine
like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me
together in my mother’s womb. I praise
you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are
wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from
you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven
together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed
body; all the days ordained for me were written in your
book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your
thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count
them, they would outnumber the grains of sand — when I
awake, I am still with you."

Praise be to God for His immeasurable grace and mercy! And I'd just like to say that I'm proud of the kind of man you are becoming! You're parents can be proud too! And grateful to God for His grace in your life!
