Nathan, our first grandchild is not just a special blessing. Nathan is an awesome message from God, our Father; sent to each of us parents, grandparents, and great grandparents and to each individual of our family.
This is the Eternal Gospel message: He loves us!
Wow! How can we even try to grasp or come close to understand the deep or the high meaning of God's Love?
His Son Jesus died on the cross. The immeasurable gift of Love, His only own Son!
Would we have by our own this kind of love to even offer ourselves as a ransom for a friend, much worse for an enemy? How would we be able to offer our own son for enemies to be ransom?
If our son was totally ours, I mean, if he belong to us indeed, whose life was given from us! He had grown without any help from anyone, but counting exclusively on us! All he had be given came only from us to make us worthy to say the son was ours!
If our son had no sin because we didn’t transmit to him any sin, or even a bit of bad influence to make him blameless and pure. In all human families that has not been the case.
But God gave His only Son! Pure and blameless, with no sin whatsoever. And with His Son's own blood God the Father made a covenant with our great grandparents, and He makes a covenant with us.
He is the God of great grandma “Sinhá” Ana (1), great grandma Mariquita (2) and grandpa Jamil (3).
He is the God of our parents Josias & Leny (4). He is our God (5) and the God of our children, Tiago - Yaakov and Viviane (6).
He is the God of Antonio and Regina, Antonio Roberto and Elenir, Cristina grandparents and parents. He is the God of “Dona” Rita, Viviane’s mother!
He is the God of Nathan (7).
"God has given" is the meaning of his name. God has given us and we have given him back to God.
Yeshua will always be the God of our great grandchild.
In fact, from beginning to the end, we are all His.
This is the reason our hearts sounds unending thanksgiving beats for eternity.
Our hearts sounds the Love of the Father, Eternal, though always present.
Our hearts are full of emotion and overwhelmed with thanksgiving.
Our ears hear heaven's sounds of a Kingdom that can’t be shaken.
Our ears hear melodies of songs of the King, the One who will reign forever.
His melodies resonate within the deepest of our beings assuring us, we all shall reign with Him.
Our eyes have seen the Spirit of God descending upon the seventh generation of God's children in our family. The same Spirit the One who rested upon Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, King David, Mary and Yeshua.
The same Holy Spirit, the One who was upon Sinhá Ana, Mariquita, Jamil and Antonio...
The same Spirit who is upon us even now.
Nathan every day smiles at the Holy Spirit gentle touch...
The exclusive healing touch of His, who cures all deceases, originated from the pierced and wounded body of the Son of God, offered by Him on the only exclusive and acceptable altar on all ages in the whole universe: The Cross.
The unique salvation touch, that opens eternity with God, regenerates hearts through faith and repentance, all born again sons and daughters experience, those who dare call upon the Name of Yeshua.
The touch of the Holy Spirit… Comforting, protecting, leading, filing the thoughts with dreams and visions…
The complete shadow of the Almighty is upon Nathan, likewise Mary experienced when He covered her womb even before Jesus was born.
The Holy Spirit gentle touch that teaches greatness in humility, importance in servitude, authority in continuing serving others and obedience in Love as the ultimate goal of pleasing God.
Every day we are all learning to sing the songs of Heaven and to hear the melodies of the King.
Every day we are all learning to surrender to the melodies of Heaven, allowing our hearts to resonate the songs of this unshakable Kingdom, praying our hearts never grow weary or become dry or insipid by the world’s hardiness.
Because God is good, He is really good, we want our hearts always soften by the touch of the Spirit, melted by the tenderness of His heart, leaning to the certainty He is always near, He will never abandon us and that His Kingdom is here to stay.
