I can\u2019t help but get excited when I read these powerful words in Genesis 15:6: \u201cAbram believed the LORD, and He credited it to him as righteousness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Paul the Apostle echoes this in Galatians 3:6,9: \u201cSo those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those words pack a punch! Abraham, our faith father, kept believing that he would indeed be the father of many nations. And guess what? Here we are today — one of those stars that God pointed Abraham to when He said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLook up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That’s how many descendants you will have!\u201d (Genesis 15:5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take a moment to let that sink in — you and I are stars! We are part of Abraham\u2019s legacy, his faith made real through generations. How incredible is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But let\u2019s be honest — sometimes, holding on to faith feels like trying to hold onto the stars themselves — just out of reach. I think about parents whose children aren\u2019t walking in faith, or friends who seem so far from God. It\u2019s heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, and sometimes just plain exhausting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But like Abraham, they don\u2019t give up. They keep praying, believing, and trusting in God\u2019s timing — knowing that one day, in due season, those wandering hearts will find their way home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know that kind of faith well. I\u2019ve been there — and believing with every fiber of my being for friends and family to experience God\u2019s love and salvation. And you know what? I\u2019m not about to quit! I refuse to give up on the mighty power of God to draw His children to Himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, here\u2019s my word to you, dear friend: Don\u2019t give up! Those desperate, heartfelt prayers for your children, grandchildren, and loved ones? They haven\u2019t gone unheard. God sees. God knows. God cares. Keep standing in faith!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let your vision be filled with answered prayers, loved ones coming home, and joy-filled celebrations. Because that\u2019s what stars do — they light up the sky, testifying to God\u2019s infinite love and grace!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.\u201d (Daniel 12:3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh yes, my dear — you are a star! Keep shining!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
