Oh, how I praise the name of my heavenly Father, who adds to His Kingdom those He has chosen.
Our sweet Joseph
Joseph has struggled with faith and doubt these past three or four years. He has asked the tough questions: Why did God make me like this? Why did He give me autism? What is the purpose? How come He hasn't healed me? He has had agonizing conversations with his dad, struggling to put his thoughts and emotions into words. And his dad has been so patient with him, giving words for those thoughts, the things locked up in Joseph's head.
On Sunday, February 13, Joseph, with the help of his dad, surrendered his life to Christ once and for all. Doubts about the future may linger, struggles on the path are certain, but Joseph belongs to Him now. And there is no doubt about that.
How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered!
Psalm 32:1 nasb
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens,
but you are fellow citizens with the saints,
and are of God's household.
Ephesians 2:19 nasb
Back to life,

Having a 13you that was diagnosed as either high achieving autistic or severe learning disability, this blog has touched me. It brought tears to my eyes. What a sweet, sweet time that is. :)

Oh I rejoice with you dear friend!
ReplyDeleteI know that there was a huge jubilee in heaven when Joseph...said yes Lord - I am Yours! :)
Trying to understand the why's will keep you in a loop that has no end. Instead, trust Joseph...just trust that He knows the why's. That He knows the reasons behind your autism. Trust Joseph...He knows believe me, He knows.
In His Love,
Maria.

Oh, PTL dear friend! PTL dear Joseph! A message for Joseph: Jesus has so much in store for you, Joseph, far more than you can even ask or think. IF IF IF you will walk in obedience to Him and trust in Him, He will reward you in far greater abundance that you can ever imagine for the role He has given to you to play here on this earth, and in this life. I am so glad, Joseph, that you chose to walk with Jesus. Praise the LORD!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's awesome! What a blessing to see your son come to faith in Jesus Christ. To lay aside himself and his questions to follow his Savior. :)
