I was watching something on t.v a few weeks ago, a young child had died and the parents were completely overcome with grief. It really upset me and I began to pray about it, I was praying for those poor parents, nobody should have to lose a child, the pain would be unbearable, I couldn’t even begin to imagine the devastation and the agony.

As I prayed I felt as though God was speaking to me, he was saying he knew the pain, he had felt the pain and he still feels it. He watched his son die on the cross, he watched his son suffer and he watched his son cry out in agony and he knew the pain and still he feels that pain every day. We are God’s children, each one of us is so precious to him, he is our heavenly father and he loves each and every one of us and every time one of us rejects him and turns away from him, he loses a child all over again. What loss he feels and how much he wants each and every one of his children to remain safe in his arms forever.
