If we take the time to study the word of God we can find so much comfort and reassurance. Here is a passage of scripture that I think will be reassuring to most mothers.
Jeremiah 31:16-17.
This is what the LORD says: “Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded,” declares the LORD. “They will return from the land of the enemy. So there is hope for your descendants,” declares the LORD. “Your children will return to their own land.
This is so fantastic! Are you weeping over your children’s choices at the moment? God is saying that your work – (raising your children,) will not be in vain, you will be rewarded. God is not saying that your children “may” come back but “shall” come back from the land of the enemy.
He continues to reassure us that there is hope that your children and their children will return to their own border (place of peace and safety and well-being).
So dry your tears and stop focusing on how bad it may be now, instead look to what God has promised in His word. Don’t worry how He is going to do it, just believe that He is going to bring them back.
The power of God is greater than that of their enemies. So lets us start to give Him some Praise- THEY ARE COMING BACK!!!!!
In His Service,
