Band of Brothers

-Band of Brothers-

I can’t even imagine that day when Jesus had to rebuke the disciples for driving away the children. He said “Let them come to me!”

Tonight I went to look for Emmanuel and Herman’s house. I not only found those two, but I found their three brothers all playing in one big tire!

Oh God, I love them so much.

I can not even describe or begin to process the BEAT of my heart. I am flooded with God’s love FOR these kids. These band of brothers have stolen my heart. Herman’s smile pierces my heart to feel GOD”S LOVE, Emmanuel’s hugs are felt in my soul to bring HOPE, and the laughter or giggles of the youngest boy brings JOY to my spirit.

Every moment with these boys is a moment with my SAVIOR. I wish I could articulate how REAL God becomes to me through these boys, but words do NO JUSTICE to what my heart is saying. The Lord of my life, the ONE I put my trust in, the one I strive to be like is in their smile, in their hugs and in their laughter.

If these boys can tug at my heart in a way that makes it want to burst out of my chest, HOW MUCH MORE does Christ’s heart beat for all of us! We are his children and he is SO IN LOVE WITH US. These kids aren’t mine and I love them with all that is in me, I cant even begin to imagine the love of OUR FATHER!
