Yes I have empty nest. My children are living their own lives. One is far over the seas, one married and one away at university. As I thought of them and prayed for them I received the following message from a friend:
While praying one day a man asked:
Who are you, Lord?
He answered
I Am
But who is I Am
he said
He replied
I Am love
I Am Peace
I Am Grace
I Am Joy
I Am The Way
I Am The Truth
I Am The Light
I Am The Comforter
I Am Strength
I Am Shelter
I Am Power
I Am The Creator
I Am The Beginning and End
I Am The Most High
The man looked with tears in his eyes towards heaven and said:
Now I understand, but Lord, who am I?
God whispered
YOU ARE MINE
God is in control and will look after them. He knows every hair on their head, they are His - He will keep them healthy and safely but most of all I want them to continue to know our Father in this intimate way and to acknowledge Jesus in all they do. I find rest in that.
