When we release our children into the Father's hands and acknowledge that He is in control of their lives and ours, both we and our children will have greater peace.
Recently, I had to release my son into God's hands again, this time as he steps into the working world. God teaches us to release him 5 years ago when he left for college and started his varsity life. He started in Miri, Sarawak and then extended to Perth, Australia in the later part of his semester.
Releasing our children to God does not mean that they will not experience pain. They will, because pain is a part of life in this fallen world.
We were reminded of the words in Isaiah 55:12 You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
God assured us that the initial pain of releasing our children there comes joy and peace, both for them and us. Because we know that no matter what stage of life our children are in, when we release them to God, they are in good hands.
