“There is hope in your future, says the LORD, that your children shall come back to their own border” (Jeremiah 31:17).
One of the greatest heartaches of any believing parent occurs when one of their children has rebelled against the ways of the Lord. God's Word offers comfort and hope in this situation. He under-stands. Much of the Old Testament is the story of God's children straying. He knows our heartaches. And He promises to bring our children back! He promises that ultimately they will come back to the ways they were taught as children (Proverbs 22:6), that peace will be their portion as they encounter Him (Isaiah 54:13), and that He will fight for us to see salvation come to them (Isaiah 49:25). [New Spirit Filled Life Bible, 2002].
