You, my dear friend, are not that powerful.

   The other day I saw this little saying and had an ah-ha moment. I've never shared this on my blog, (let's be honest, I haven't blogged in years), but I know now that I'm not the only one dealing with heartache. 

   Our oldest son has problems , no has made some bad decisions, no the truth is (it's really hard to say and even harder seeing in print) is an addict. There it is, I've said it. My son is an addict. He's a saved man but in the deep grasp of sin.

   I deal with a lot of pain concerning him and then I push it down just long enough to live. Being totally honest here. I have given him to the Lord long ago and i'm good with whatever the Lord decides but still sometimes, thoughts overtake me and I must push them down until they pass.  

   When I saw this little saying I saw something I hadn't seen before. 

 If you think you've blown God's will for your life,

  Rest in this: You, my dear friend, are not that powerful.

   Thinking about my son, and how he's a child of God, I know God has a direct will for his life. I have decided to rest in the fact that my son, as a child of God, isn't powerful enough to ruin God's will for his life. I'm aware that God's will for his life may be not be what I think it should be but I am sure that whatever happens God will be sure to get glory from it and that's really what matters.
I will faithfully wait to see what God does in our son's life and pray all along that God will be glorified and lifted up.
