Once you are a child of the King, you are His forever.
Nothing you go through on this earth escapes His notice. he will not abandon you or forsake you -- even when your circumstances make you feel He couldn't possibly be paying attention to you.
Here's a story my Dad used to like to tell to illustrate this point:
A lone survivor of a shipwreck found himself on an uninhabited island. After a while he managed to build a hut where he placed the small amount of food he had gathered. Every day the man scanned the horizon for any passing ships. one day, he spotted a boat. He waved frantically, but the ship disappeared over the horizon.
To compound his sadness, he returned to his hut, only to find it in flames. Gone was his shelter. Destroyed was his only hope for nourishment and survival.
The next day a ship arrived. It was the same one that had passed the day before. The captain explained, "We saw your smoke signal."
What seemed like an accident, unplanned -- and unwanted -- by the man turned out to be an incident planned by God in His great design. The fire that destroyed the man's only sustenance actually saved his life!
