God shapes the world by prayer. The more prayer there is in the world, the better the world will be, the mightier the forces against evil..." E.M. Bounds

Thankful Thursday: God's Pursuit
"He is wooing you from the jaws of distress to a spacious place free from restriction, to the comfort of your table laden with choice food." Job 36:16
"For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all..." 2 Corinthians 5:14
"The Lord your God fights for you, just as he promised." Joshua 23:10
I know that God is pursuing my children. He longs for them to love Him, believe in Him, and spend their lives forever by His side. And He longs for that deeper than this mother does.
Oh, to know that He is wooing Alyssa and Kyle to Himself.
There's nothing sweeter!
Lord, thank you for your continual pursuit of Alyssa and Kyle. Thank you that you long for them to be your daughter and son, and to speak to them as one would speak to a friend (Exodus 33:11). You fight for them to belong to you. You woo them into a love relationship with their Savior. I kur now, Lord, that you will never give up on them, and will always show up in the different parts of their lives. Open their eyes that they might see your uncompromising presence and unconditional love. Move their hearts to beat after yours. Thank you, Lord, for loving your children!
