The Lost Has Been Found!

I first have to say that we can NEVER underestimate the power of God!! We have been reminded of His sovereignty and His greatness this week!

Do you remember me telling you about the little boy, Michael, who was taken by his mother who had a mental breakdown and couldn’t remember where she took him? That happened in June, and we had completely given up hope of ever finding him.

Well, you know where this story is going, right?? HE IS BACK!! And completely unharmed and healthy!

Here’s the story of his return, as it was told to us:

His mother, Betty, hadn’t given up on finding him, and for some reason (I don’t know all the details) had gone to another lady who has been praying about this situation. This lady told Betty that God had revealed to her that Michael was in another slum and that they should go there to look for him. So Betty went to this place…and found that her son has been taken care of by a lady there! She had kept him healthy, and even took him to school (and exclaimed about how well he has been doing there, and what a bright boy he is!) Isn’t that incredible??!!

All this time, God has been using this lady to take care of little Michael. And after two months, He brought him back to his family. God knew where he was all along and never stopped taking care of him. Seriously amazing.

It gives me chills just to think about it.

What a privilege it is to serve a God who not only holds the whole world in His hands, but who cares about a lost little boy from the slum.
