God Is For You

I haven’t always believed that! I remember when I was dreaming about actually holding my baby for the first time, I looked at my changing body with glee, thinking how wonderful it would be for my husband and I, watching him or her grow up. The time finally came. We entered the hospital joyfully. later, a doctor, not even my own, entered the room. He didn’t look happy. All he said was “Your baby died, we couldn’t do anything!” Even then, I believed in God. But when I was put in a room with four happy mothers, watching them as they eagerly fed their little baby, I couldn’t believe there was a God who cared.

Later, we had a second baby. The doctor said I had carried him dead for almost a month. I don’t remember the next few days, but I heard a song that went like this: “Farther along, you’ll know all about this, Farther along you’ll understand why.” Cheer up, my sister, live in God’s sunshine. You’ll understand it all by and by.”My husband was able to get a recording of that so we listened over and over. When I left the hospital (In those days, mothers stayed in the hospital 10 days) my husband and I laid down on our bed and cried for hours. When that was over, my husband said, “God knows more than we do, but we need to trust Him. ” Yes. And we will remember that God does love us” I have tried to let God take the wheels of my life ever since.

It’s hard these days to know just where America is going. We watch as we see babies being killed and children taken from their homes. We also see more murders everywhere. People want our country to become something most of us really don’t want. We see rumors of wars in the horizon and some would like to see genders to change. Our America would be gone. But God hasn’t gone anywhere! If you look, you can see many things He is doing. Many people in our country are turning to God. He will save our country and the whole world, but we have to be patient and began working on ourselves. There is much each of us can do.

God has been very good to this 96 year old lady. My husband and I were given three babies which have grown up loving God. It’s hard to look back and see that I really walked away from God, but God never walked away from me. He hasn”t walked away from America either. Just wait and see!
