CampMystic from the heart of child

The following words were written by a sweet friend. I have known Destiny since we were in Branson and she was just a young girl who loved to go to Dairy Queen!! Destiny is now 21 and a precious child of God. She loves to share what Poppa God puts on her heart. She shared the following poem yesterday on FaceBook and I asked for permission to share and she graciously gave it. Her mom, Gina shared this: If you don’t read anything else today, PLEASE read this poem my 21 year-old autistic daughter Destiny wrote about the Camp Mystic children that passed away from the flooding in Texas.

It Will Never Rain Again: A Peace That Overtook the Storm
by Destiny Marie, July 8, 2025

They were just kids. Innocent children who trusted God with their life.

But it’s so hard to see His hand in those tragic waves as their tiny bodies washed away.

Only God knows what thoughts were racing through those young minds that day. Who knows if they could even think a single thing once the tragedy hit their life?

They were just children. They didn’t deserve any of this. Especially the lives that were lost.

But what if it’s not about what they deserve, because now they are truly in the hands of God.

I know that now they couldn’t care less about the scary waters that progressed as long as they are forever in the presence of their Creator.

They don’t have to go through the storms of life anymore.

But I know the children’s spirits are still with their family as their loved ones grieve unexpectedly.

But what if, right before your body meets its final breath, God steps in before the pain could ever get too intense to take your hand and lead you through the Promised Land.

Before the 4th, the young lives that were lost would’ve probably believed that losing their lives would be the worst possible cost.

But the second they met Jesus in Heaven, perfect peace surrounded them and now they believe life on earth could never compare to what they feel now as they dance on the golden streets in God’s gentle care.

To the families: I know it’s hard to understand why God could let something so devastating pass through His hands.

But please don’t lose faith because where they are now is a safer place.

It’s OK to grieve, and it’s OK to cry. God sees the pain in your eyes.

But this isn’t the end. This is the beginning.

Because one day you will see your children again.

And it will all make sense because everything on this earth will grow dense, and what’s in heaven will stand forever with just what’s holy in God’s glory, and it will never rain again.
