Daily devotion – Tuesday 7th September 2021
What great joy today to hear of missing boy Anthony “AJ” Elfalak has been found alive after a desperate three-day search, NSW Police have confirmed.
Anthony, or “AJ”, who is autistic and non-verbal, had last been seen at about 11.45am on Friday.
A widespread search of the family’s 650-acre property at Putty, west of Newcastle, had lasted for almost 72 hours and included police, emergency services and volunteers when the miraculous discovery was made.
“Missing 3-year-old boy Anthony ‘AJ’ Elfalak has been located a short time ago..
The Bible tells us that there is also great joy in Heaven when a lost soul receives Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, giving them eternal life!
Luke 15: 7 “In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!”
Just as Anthony’s mother was overjoyed when Anthony was found safe, our Heavenly Father rejoices when we are indeed found as well!
Many people think Heaven will be boring – no it will the greatest homecoming gathering that there has ever been and our Heavenly Father, as too each one of us, will enjoy that moment like no other!
