On a sunny, autumn Saturday morning a warrior was born in the northern most point in the west. A price already on his life, he would be here a very short time. His mission to turn an immeasurable amount of souls back to the father during and after his life. His work would be swift and complete in its divine mission.
Knowing the risks of bringing this tiny life into the world the warriors parents chose his life, against all the odds. Really, it was their calling, their mission, to follow and endure all that this act of obedience to their faith would hold. Amidst all that would happen they would come to this realization in amazement.
An army was gathered, given all of the particulars and the assignment to pray, always in agreement, led by the faithful parents. E-mails, blog posts, pictures, tweets and status reports carried the message of the little warrior and the rally to pray.
Pray they did, each and every soldier. Each prayer holding up the arms of mom and dad, like Aaron and Hur did for Moses, to bring the victory.
The little warrior's name essentially meant, Youthful Warrior of God's Grace is God's Help. This was not lost on his parents, who quickly realized that they had given their little warrior the name God had intended. It brought further peace knowing that this child, a very young David, after God's own heart, was chosen, divinely.
Ewan's army was gathered, and in two weeks innumerable people, from all corners of the earth, were praying in unity. Many were not believers when they began, but seeing the face of God in the actions of others were reconciled to the Father, by the life of this little warrior.
You see, some come into the world for a very short time, yet have the highest callings and divine intervention at hand. Through a tiny broken heart nations were gathered and told of the saving grace of God. And when the little warrior was called home again, too soon after having arrived, he left his broken heart in his mother's chest so she would always remember her little warrior's mission.
With that he was called home at the word's of our Father, "This is my Son, in whom I am well pleased."
