My dear nephews are visiting us for the week. Their parents are divorcing, and my heart is breaking. Since these boys have arrived we have seen them
-flinch, expecting to get hit when in trouble
-cling to my dh, needing attention from a man
-seem at a loss, not knowing where they belong.
Sadly, they aren’t connected to any kind of church body, so there is no support coming from any local believers. My oldest nephew is getting his “comfort” from horrible groups like Green Day and Blink 182. My heart is breaking as I know there will be no comfort, healing, or peace without Jesus, from whom these boys desperately need a fresh touch. I know He is longing to hold them in their sadness. It is my prayer that somehow God will use us, just in this short week, to be His hands and feet for these boys He so loves.
I hate divorce! It promises freedom, fun, and peace, but only brings hurt, bondage to sin, and anger. Lord, please somehow use these circumstances to your glory.
