No Greater Joy

I will never forget when God spoke to me through my two-and-a-half year old grandson. My husband’s future looked very grim after his brain bleed and stroke. My heart was broken. In a way that a young child would understand, my daughter-in-law shared with my grandson that Pops was sick. Without hesitating my grandson said, “Jesus loves Pops. Jesus helps Pops feel better.” After hearing those words, a sense of well-being filled my heart. I knew God was speaking through this precious child. Even though my circumstances didn’t change, God gave me a needed reminder that with His help, Carl and I could ride the waves of this raging storm. There’s no greater joy than knowing that you’ve heard from God.

“Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Neh. 8:10
