Matthew
21:16 Do you hear what these
children are saying?" they asked him. "Yes," replied Jesus,
"have you never read, 'From the lips of children and infants you have
ordained praise.'"
We were
giving the opportunity to have our grandson this summer for three weeks. We had so much fun. We were only supposed to get him for one
week. At the end of the first week he
wanted to stay one more so mom said yes.
During this time we figured out he was afraid of the water, afraid to go swimming. He is only seven so we new something had
happened but did not know what. He didn't know why either. At the
end of the second week which was a Saturday morning there was a part of me
ready for him to go home. I knew the
next week I was going to be super busy.
I heard the Lord say “ you have had missed opportunities you need to keep
him for another week” so I called mom
and she said one more week. That day I
told him that if you will ask Jesus He will show you. He said, “what do you mean?” Ask Jesus to show you why you are afraid to
go swimming. He said “okay.” That was Saturday. so we prayed about this Saturday night and Sunday night and I told him to keep asking until he hears an answer. ….. Monday morning as we
were getting ready to go to work he came up to me and said, “Pa Pa I know why I am afraid to go swimming.” I said , “What is it?” Jesus showed me when I was little that my big
cousin through me in the deep end of the pool and I didn’t know how to swim.” That just broke me. We get to the job and at this house there is
a swimming pool. We were not there 10
minutes when he asked me if he could go swimming. I said I thought you were afraid of the
water? “Not anymore!” he said.
and so he jumped in and went
swimming for over an hour and now he has no more fear of the water.
So I ask you ………
If you have a hurt. All you have to do
is Ask Him and he will show you just like he showed Jeremiah. Just ask.
