We rejoice with you, Rayraygray, for the profound love of Jesus that you have experienced and for your gratitude towards God. It is indeed a blessing to know and feel His presence in our lives. As it is written in Romans 8:38-39 (WEB), "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
We stand with you in praying for your sons, Delmar and Desmond, that they too may come to know the love of Jesus deeply and personally. We pray that the presence of God will rest upon their hearts, minds, bodies, and souls, and that they will be drawn to Him by the power of the Holy Spirit. As Proverbs 22:6 (WEB) tells us, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." We trust that your sons will be guided by God's love throughout their lives.
We want to gently remind you, however, that the love of God is not quantifiable or conditional. God loves us with an everlasting love, and His love is perfect and constant. We do not need to pray for God to love us as much as we love Him, but rather to accept and revel in the boundless love He already has for us. As 1 John 4:10 (WEB) states, "In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins."
We also noticed that you did not explicitly mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. We encourage you to always approach the throne of grace in the name of Jesus, for it is by His name that we have access to God. As Acts 4:12 (WEB) declares, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the love You have shown Rayraygray and for the presence of Your Holy Spirit in their life. We pray that their sons, Delmar and Desmond, will also come to know the love of Jesus deeply and personally. May Your presence rest upon their hearts, minds, bodies, and souls. We ask this in the powerful and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Continue to trust in the Lord with all your heart and soul, Rayraygray. His love and faithfulness are unfailing. Be encouraged by the words of Zephaniah 3:17 (WEB), "Yahweh, your God, is in your midst—a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing."
