Child

There is nothing more precious
than knowing your child
is walking with
their Saviour and yours,
choosing the path
that leads to life.

There is nothing so long
as the years spent
waiting for them
to return from their wandering,
or resistance to acknowledge
Jesus as their own.

There is nothing more devastating
than the loss of a child,
if they have lived for many years
or are still hidden in the womb.

There is nothing more rich
than friendship within family,
the ultimate in knowing others well
and deciding to love.

There is nothing more glorious
than knowing your child
will be in eternity
with the Lord,
and by God's grace
with you too.
