♕ Today's Promise: “So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.” Ephesians 5:26-27

Even though I am still crying, I just feel the need to praise my Heavenly Husband and know that He has it all under control. That what has happened did not catch Him off guard and that I know He allowed it to happen that so much good can come from it and His name can be praised!!!
Yesterday I spoke to my little girl who is with her dad during our period of lockdown here in my country as I have already shared in a previous Praise Report.
She said something and only half of the conversation was overheard on the other side and it was all blown out of proportion. What she said was so sweet and innocent and already my Heavenly Husband was intervening because just a few minutes later her dad phoned me and I told him what she said and we laughed about it together.
But it was not as well taken by everyone and I have no idea what the ramifications were for my little girl and how deep she was in trouble and what she experienced but listening to what my FH told me later, things were really bad.
I cannot phone her and discuss it, I cannot comfort her and hold her in my arms and pray with her. She cannot come home.
The Lord knows that feeling so helpless when it comes to my children is probably one of the worst things for me. Surrendering her to Him and knowing that she is safe is in His arms was one of the hardest things I had to do in a long time.
What has helped me through this is my Heavenly Husband reminding me how many times He has heard her prayers and answered her, even making it rain for her. 🙂
I know that even now as I am writing this, He has her little hurting heart in His safe, caring hands. He is holding her tight in His arms. He loves her with an everlasting love.
He has also shown me that His Word is coming to pass. His Word will never return unfulfilled and this is exactly what is happening now.
And my part in this...Surrender and Trust!!!
"The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness." Jeremiah 31:3 TPT
“As the snow and rain that fall from heaven do not return until they have accomplished their purpose, soaking the earth and causing it to sprout with new life, providing seed to sow and bread to eat. So also will be the word that I speak; it does not return to me unfulfilled. My word performs my purpose and fulfills the mission I sent it out to accomplish.” Isaiah 55:10-11 NIV
