Believe Jesus for the day when He will in a sense give you back that child that you prayed for so long. In the meantime, let the father and the prodigal son be your example. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/welcoming-the-king-5706 2009-09-09T11:21:40-05:00 Since being like Jesus is your eternal destiny, He wants you to start being now what He's going to make you forever. Living in light of the King's coming also means sacrificing our personal resources and putting them to work in the things that will matter when He comes, rather than storing them up for earth-stuff that won't matter when He comes. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2055:10-11&version=NIV 2009-08-25T10:39:40-05:00 God's Word never fails to accomplish its purpose. As this verse put it, it never returns "empty" without having had the intended effect. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2055:11&version=KJV 2009-08-04T17:10:51-05:00 Isaiah says that God's word will not return void. As it goes out of his mouth it accomplishes what He intends and where He intends.
