Listening to the radio this morning I heard about a girl that had been swept away when the 2004 Tsunami hit Indonesia. 7yrs later, in the last couple weeks or days she has arrived back in her home town, and started looking for her family. Someone recognized the name of her Grandpa, one of the few names she could remember. She was confirmed by the family as the daughter they believed gone forever, by a scar and birthmark on her face!
I love connecting modern day life with God, and His work. It's just how my brain functions. I couldn't help but think this morning about how we too sometimes get swept away by this world. Perhaps a moment when we choose the wide path instead of the narrow. Only to return later after the world has spit us out. Yet, as Christ followers we are still known when we return!! How glorious! If we knew the Father before left He will still recognize us upon our return. We have been sealed, a mark put on us by the blood of the Lamb. Jesus bears those scars for us. He paid the ultimate price, and those scars are still present today on Him. Scars that made him recognizable on that road some 2000 yrs ago. No matter how far, how long this world has held you captive know that you are still known. That there is a loving Father who recognizes you when you find your way home.
I hope to revive this Blog, and keep everyone up to date on our daily life, and the process of our adoption. Look for more posts soon!
