HE WILL COME
BY: MARK ANTHONY ROSOLOWSKI

I remember a story about an earthquake that struck a small town in Armenia. Throughout the country over 30,000 people were killed. Undaunted a father ran to the school building where he knew his son would be. Upon his arrival he found the school building was leveled by the earthquake. He ran to the area where he knew his son's classroom was and began to dig with his hands, he had to save his child. Others told him it was hopeless, that he should just give up; there was no one to be saved. The father ignored all those that told him to give up and continued to remove bricks and other rubble. After over 40 hours of digging the father heard his son calling out for him, he continued to dig until he found a small space that had sheltered his son and 12 other boys. The boy saw his father and said to him, "I knew you would come and save me, I told the others that you would come for me and we would all be saved."

That story of a father's love for his child is true and touching. The first time I heard that story I saw God working to save me. As surely as that boy waited in the rubble for his father, I wait believing that my Father will come for me. I tell others to just wait and believe in my Father and He will save everyone. My Father will not give up on me and all others that believe. He will save everyone.
