Welcome Home

When the road of life is rocky
And the fruit has left the tree,
Remember the path that led you there
And follow it back to me.

I’ll be here where you left me,
Standing with open arms.
No words of reproof or resentment,
Just love and a refuge from harm.

~Sarah Valente
This is Michael's story:

Michael is the second of my three younger brothers. It's been several years now since he has walked with the Lord.

At the age of eighteen he married his pregnant girlfriend. They were both living completely godless lives, and were quite the pair.

Five years later they have two children together, and are now divorced. The divorce was ugly, to say the least; lies (and exaggerated truths) were told that are preventing Michael from seeing his children except for during brief supervised visits.

It's tragic, and we literally weep for his precious children, but we pray that God is bringing Michael to his knees during this time. Anything short of death has our stamp of approval. We pray that God will draw him gently (if possible), but more importantly, that He will not let him get away.

Michael's bio line could read: I am tender-hearted with a heart for justice. I have a problem with authority. The Old-Testament makes me angry, and I think that people who believe in God are serving the cruelest of authoritarians.

Do you have a Michael in your life?
