I'd mentioned this on the prayer conference on Sunday, but I thought I'd put it in a post.
If you've never heard of Josiah's Fire, you might want to google it.
It's an inspiring story about a little boy with autism. He was completely nonverbal until his mom got some technology that allowed him to spell words on an ipad. I don't even know how they taught him to read and write...but obviously he did learn because what his writing revealed is astonishing.
Until he began to write, they didn't even know what thoughts he had...but once he started spelling words, they were floored. Clearly this child has a direct and profound relationship with the Almighty.
God's words come through this child...and the messages are powerful and heart touching.
I've watched Youtube videos where his mother tells his story. It is amazing...and the underlying message is...never give up hope.
It's not even necessary for me to say how this relates to all of us...because hope is what will get us all through the daily difficulties that are part of our rocky road to recovery. But I'll say it anyway...because hope is also the glue that holds the "sum of the parts" together.
The words shared by this little boy allow us a glimpse into the other side of the veil...and a sweet reminder of God's tender mercies.
