Sometimes we pray and we don´t get to see right away the fruits of our prayers!! On the inside our Beloved is carefully working, changing hearts for real, step by step, but on the outwards we see nothing, Everything looks the same and we get frustrated, annoyed, and discoraged, to say the least!
When my daughter Bethia started her journey with her Heavenly Father last year by leaving home, I prayed and prayed and let go, because, in my mom´s heart, I clearly understood that the only one who could change her heart was my Beloved!
When she came home, we expected a completely changed daughter, but you see some things remained the same.
She was still questioning everything we told her, she wanted to spend most of her time on social media, and her bible was dusted!
I entrusted a really close-to-my-heart mission, to read the little princesses' books on Homegrownministries.com and to start to speak what she learned by recording weekly podcasts. (You can listen to her and read in English here). When she started both of us couldn´t imagine the journey she had ahead!
Her new high school was amazing, being in the country people here are gentler, loving, and caring, and at the beginning everything was a dream come true!! But as months passed by, her Heavenly Father started to Set her Apart for good and she didn´t quite understand it!
Her weekly podcasts became her reality, every chapter she read helped her to endure with grace the trials she was going to and by the last chapter of book 3, she understood what the Lord was clearly doing!
She for the first time took the Lord´s promises as her daily feeding of hope, and she changed the way she perceived Social Media and going out, her vision was changed slowly but surely in front of my eyes!
On her last podcast, she shared her heart about the promises that had helped her to gain faith and trust in the process, even though she doesn´t understand it!! I invite you to listen and read with subtitles!
My sweet ladies, we must trust in our Beloved Heavenly Husband, and join our children in prayer while they are going on their own life journeys!! They must experience their Heavenly Father by themselves so they can become godly people who will draw other young ladies and men to HIM!!
What a beautiful testimony dear Isabella and encouragement to let go of my sons into the hands of their Loving Heavenly Father.
Yes my dear, it is hard because we want to protect our children, but our Beloved is the best Father ever, He will know how to direct them!!
Yes sometimes thoughts will creep into my mind to try and get me fearful of my 3 boys future with Him. But I have to take those thoughts captive and remember
“ …,that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” R8:28
Yes, my dear, it is through trials, wilderness and heartaches that they will get closer to their Heavenly Father! We are full of mistakes and errors, but these things can help us to point to them to the Only One who is perfect, pure love and that is with them always!
I’m so glad Isabella Bethia is such a beautiful young lady!! It’s not easy for our young people with everything on social media and the influence of friends. Praise God her HF is grounding her in His word and truth!! I am trusting for the same for Saadya \o/
Yes my dear, only our beloved is able to touch their hearts and bring them back to Him!! 🎊🎉
