Genghis, I am so happy that your Young Friend's parents can see your heart, as God sees your heart. Praise be to God that their strength, hope and trust is firmly in Christ's peace and abiding love. I hope that your pastors are equally firm in their faith. For it is in Christ's love that we are able to love and trust that which we do not understand. It is often said that God moves in mysterious ways. The path ahead may yet be difficult, but know that God is with you, he will comfort you and show you a way forward, even at the bleakest moments. Sometimes it takes years to understand what the significance of particular events are that form and shape our entire lives. I am praying for you, for J, for your pastors and for this most special family who have made you one of their own. Peace of Christ, Bach |
