Did any of you parents ever hear your child wake from sleep with some panic fear and shriek the mother’s name through the darkness? Was not that a more powerful appeal than all words? And, depend upon it, that the soul which cries aloud on God, “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” though it have “no language but a cry,” will never call in vain.
– Alexander MacLaren
My friend’s handsome young son is dead.
In a moment of hopeless despair he took his own life.
All I can do is cry out.
I have no more words than that.
Charis, I’m so very sorry for you, your friend, and for the young man.
Blessings of His healing Peace ~ Wendy ❀
