I feel compelled to share a few scriptures that I feel are relevant today especially as we mark another sad day in the saga of little Haleigh Cummings. I am no expert on the Bible but I do have faith that although we are still waiting for answers and hoping for Haleigh's disappearance to be resolved, God has this firmly in His grasp and has all the answers we seek.
Jesus was very clear about the value of a child in His kingdom and the fate of those that harm a child. Here is my humble offering in hopes that we can find solace and satisfation in the words of our Lord.
These scriptures speak to the way God perceives children:
Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone where hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Matthew 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
This one speaks to the faith I have in Christ that this child will be found.
Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Finally, these verses give me hope that people who have lied and tried to hide their crimes against this child will be found out. The Bible says this:
Matthew 10:26 Fear them not therefore, for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
Deuteronomy 32:35 To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
I fervently pray that God will intervene on behalf of Haleigh. I pray he will comfort her mother and all those that are hurting so badly and longing so much for her sweet face and warm smile. Also, I pray that the one who hurt Haleigh will have some compassion and end this mystery for the dignity of Haleigh Ann Marie Cummings and the resolution and peace that would bring to her family. Amen
