(this is re-posted from two years ago-- and as i was looking for something this morning-- seeing this post again made me know i needed to share it again-- this little boy has never been found-- his name is kyron horman-- i'm assuming God had me post this again for prayers)
on facebook i usually put up a bible verse from an old devotional by Max Lucado- most all of the time i go by the days date- as i did today june 21--
right before i went to put my verse up this is what happened-
i was watching a report about a 7 yr old boy who has been missing for 2 weeks- i have heard about this little boy all along- you probably have also- he disappeared from his school-
each time i hear of the story i stop and of course pray for him to be found-
today with so much time passing- i begin to think he is most likely dead--but as i prayed i begin to cry ( i believe in the Spirit) i asked God to let the family find their little boy no matter what had happened to him--
i suddenly felt that God was reminding me that He could do anything He wanted and change anything He wanted--
i begin to pray-"God you know just where this child is and even if he is dead, even if someone has mutilated his little body- You can put him back like he was and make it as if it never happened--why you can raise from the dead of course"
i cried as i was being touched by the Holy Spirit to continue to pray- i felt this awesome power as i have felt from time to time-
a friend today had put up a verse the one about not letting ourselves be conformed to this world--everything was coming together--God was telling me to let Him strengthen my faith--
of course the devil was saying to me--okay well why didn't your God heal your little children-why doesn't He command that they be brought up out of the graves they are in--
i knew that i don't have to have all the answers are even any- i just needed to ask in faith what God was telling me to ask at this time in my life-and to believe for this young boy that it was still possible for God to bring a miracle to this family-
i think most all christians know this but sometimes i forget what kind of God i have--i believe that there are angels all around that we can't see and i believe that God is hoping each day that we will allow Him to give us the faith to see miracles--
they don't have to be a certain kind of miracle- just to know that God is in control and that to us good or bad, nothing happens without God allowing it--
so when i read today's verse and how the commentary also talked about a boy being called back to life -i knew that God was telling me to keep praying and believing-that He was right there beside me and He could do anything in His plan and even change His mind if that is what He wanted to do--and also that death was not to be feared but to trust Him--and not to think He doesn't know the pain of these parents or any other parent here on earth who is experiencing great pain and loss--
i pray for this dear little boy to be reunited with his family-and if this is not what God chooses to do, i pray for God to give them a great faith and the great Comforter<3
I can't imagine this little boy's parents sadness, worry, grief, etc. I can't imagine what that little boy has been through or is going through. Yet I do agree with everything you said; God is God and there is nothing he cannot do if it is within his will. One of my favorite verses is Jeremiah 32:27 "I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?" I pray that at times and remind him nothing is too hard for him.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to that day when the earth is restored and Jesus comes back and there will be no more tears, no more suffering.
betty
me too, betty---and that is a verse i plan to commit to memory---thanks!
DeleteI too am hoping for a very good outcome to this and that this family can once again be reunited. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletethank you for your good thoughts :)
DeleteWe don't have TV, so I had not seen this story. I guess I should read the paper as my hubby keeps telling me to. I pray he is found, too, to give his family some sense of peace--something they will never have if is whereabouts is unknown.
ReplyDeleteThere is a seven-year-old in my son's class who also plays baseball with him. Other parents and I were saying last night that he walks home alone at 8:00 at night. My husband offered to give him a ride home, but he declined. So I was agonizing over him last night. Your post is very timely; I've been praying for him and his safety, too.
omgoodness, yeah i would be worried about that little boy too--he is certainly too young to go by himself---i will pray too---wow you don't have tv---i have heard of people like you---hahaha, i am just kidding you--i think it is very commendable :)
DeleteThanks for sharing this. I can't imagine how the family must feel--my heart breaks for them. But as you said, God can do anything if it is His will. I pray this child will be found...
ReplyDeleteoh thank you so much for praying for him dana---i knew when i saw this today, that i had to get this out there, even in a small way <3
DeleteDeath is just a gateway. I'm not entirely sure what is on the other side but I have had insights and it's possibly not what everybody might expect.
ReplyDeleteyes i believe it is a gateway also---i would love to hear your insights!!
DeleteIt is far too long and complex to explain in a paragraph but I do have it all scheduled at intervals on the blog under SSSS Club. My beliefs are scheduled on Sunday in Ramblings.
Deleteoh okay, i will look--thank you
DeleteSometimes it's hard to bear these stories of lost children and we wonder why bad adults are allowed to hurt them. Maybe someday we'll understand.
ReplyDeleteyes we will and i always try to comfort my children and myself with the sincere belief that the angels come to usher us into the next world, where there is no more pain or tears
DeleteI hope this poor little guy is okay. It's scary what happens to our children in this world sometimes. Heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteit is so very heartbreaking <3
DeleteBeautiful post. I do remember hearing about this little guy. Thanks for reminding us to ask and keep on asking, seek and keep on seeking, knock and keep on knocking...on his behalf.
ReplyDeletethank you so much for still caring about this little one---maybe God will be extra merciful and act<3
DeleteThis is really, really heartbreaking, a parent's worst fear. I truly pray this young boy be found...and wherever he is, God will make a way. :)
ReplyDeleteit is so awful---i agree, and if we all pray together, it could help--thanks cecilia!
DeleteRest assured my prayers have been added to yours and all others that plead for an end to other people's suffering. Take care and God bless!
ReplyDeletethanks so much rch--what a beautiful way to put it and may God richly bless you and yours too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your compassionate post. There are so many missing children, whose parents seek answers and the closure that knowledge brings. Adding my prayers.
ReplyDeletethank you so much dot<3
DeleteGreat post. People forget that God is a God of miracles. I hope things work out for the little boy.
ReplyDeletei know, i never forget, but i don't always live like i really believe it--thanks jessica
DeleteVery sad, I hope that he is found (hopefully sound and well) if not, so the family can find some peace!
ReplyDeleteIn this area in Australia, my community suffered the saddness of the Daniel Morcombe case. His body was found last year, at least this gave his poor parents some relief for their long term suffering.
Why do these horrible things still happen in our world today, only God knows!
God only does know--sometimes it is hard to just go on each day--i can't imagine going on, not knowing where my child was---thanks for sharing
DeleteHow sad. I hope the little boy is found!
ReplyDeleteall of our hope will surely help--thank you sherry
DeleteWow, so sad to read about missing children. I've seen your comments on other blogs during the A-Z, but just made it to your blog. It's been very encouraging to find other believers in the blogging world. I'm now a follower. :-)
ReplyDeleteyes this is such a sad sad story---oh i am so glad to have you as a follower and it is very nice to find other Christians out there--i am going now to your blog--thanks!!
