“And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life” Matthew 19:29
I just said good-bye to Mom and Dad. IT HURT! I just developed a relationship with them about 3 years ago. Now, we are very close for the first time in my 36 years of life. As tears streamed down my face while latching on to my mom, my dad grabbed me and held me with tears running down his face too. I really am the only source, (outside of Holy Spirit), of encouragement my parents have. I call them literally everyday! Oh how I am going to miss them. To top this all off, the last face I will see in the US is my son’s. The above Scripture is true in every sense of it’s words to me.
One thing I did experience in my heart was the fact that when my daddy held me in his arms, bearing my pain with me, I had the revelation of our Father in Heaven and how He must feel towards us! That was pretty cool, and it got me by as I pondered and prayed to Him! Well, I am going to go cry some more…
