"Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?" Jeremiah 32:27Β
I have been asking the Lord for quite some time to restore my children to their grandparents. Both grandparents on my side and my spouse's side are estranged for a different set of reasons but estranged all the same. my young children don't know their grandparents on their dad's side and because of a falling out with him and his parents, I have been unable to have any sort of relationship with them for years. One night, after a heavy fiery trial, I was sitting in my car crying out to my Love, and I had been asking many questions. But He answered this one. I can bring the children to their grandparents only once there has been restoration first between them and my spouse. I was relieved. okay! but many, many, months went by and I brought it up to Him again. I felt bad that my children didn't get to experience the special love that comes from grandparents.
Would you believe it, a few months later I went to a women's group and who was there but my mother-in-law. she told me that my spouse has reached out to his father and asked to meet, and they both asked for forgiveness and forgave one another! How shocked she was that this had happened, I only smiled because I knew nothing is impossible with God. I was very happy for them both, but I didn't make any moves yet, waiting to hear from my Beloved Lord on when I could take the kids. Again, months later, seeking Him again just recently on when, and when I went to hear a testimony at a recovery group a few days later, and who was there but my mother-in-law. She has told me my father-in-law is very sick with cancer again and it's not looking good. She asked if I would bring the kids to see them this week.
Well, I still doubted I should. I didn't want to go against what my spouse had said so again I brought it to the Lord. Just this morning after reading a lesson, He showed me how He had brought up these meetings, all of them, and that He was the One who told me all these things and to trust Him when he says something and that the enemy will come along and say, "did God really say"
I kept asking for clarity, and every time I did, He brought me something undeniably Big. And He also reminded me that my spouse never told me I couldn't take the kids around his parents. He also brought this to my memory that my spouse never told me to keep the children away from his parents, I just knew how he felt about them and decided it was best to keep my distance to not upset my spouse.
So I am very grateful for the amount of clarity that my Love has brought to me and How he answered these prayers for my children's sakes.
Wow what a wonderful testimony of what He is doing in your childrenβsβ lives regarding their grandparents. This was encouraging to read because my children are also estranged from their grandparents. But as your testimony shares anything is possible with Him. Thank you for sharing.
Lamentations 3:22-23
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
new mercies, never ceasing love! wow! I’m blown away by His goodness!
Thank you Rasa, for this wonder ful reminderβ£οΈ It’s never enough to remember that He is more than able to restore and do the impossible
Thank you Raza for this testimony. It reminds me that my children are estranged from their paternal grandparents. They have not seen each other for more than 2 years and sometimes I think about them going, but I know that I must let my Beloved determine the time. It is beautiful to see that He listens to us and that everything will heal our relationships in His own time.
Thank you Rasa, what an amazing testimony of what our Beloved can do to restore the relationships in our lives because nothing is impossible with Him and only He can turn hearts.
Dear Rasa, thank you for this beautiful testimony. Nothing is better than asking Him what to do. He will restore all relationships in His time! I also have little contact with my ex-husband’s family and the children also have little contact with them because the relationship between my ex-husband and his family is very bad. I also believe with all my heart that He is able to restore all relationships that have been broken.
