For Ages and Ages
2 Kings 4: 18-37
Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well:”
2 Kings 4:26
While ministering in Colorado Springs, evangelist D. L. Moody received a message that his little grandson and namesake had died. From his grieving heart, Moody wrote home, saying, “I know Dwight is having a good time, and we should rejoice with him. What would the mansions be without children? And he has gone to help get things ready for his parents. You know the Master said: ‘The last shall be first.’ He was the last to come into our circle, and he is the first to go up there! So safe, so free from all the sorrow that we are passing through! I do thank God for such a life. It was nearly all smiles and sunshine. What a glorified body he will have, and with what joy he will await your coming! ... You will have the dear little man with you for ages and ages.... The word that keeps coming to my mind is this: ‘It is well with the child.’”1
When a child goes to heaven, it grieves us to the depths, but what a comfort to know that one day we will be reunited and that, in Christ, all is well.We can say, “It is well with my soul.”
A point to ponder…
And then the thought that the Savior will take such good care of him! No going astray; no sickness; no death. Dear, dear little fellow!….
