A LONG
LETTER TO MY FATHER
Abba Father who is like You ?
I have been on earth for a while now
and i have not seen, nor heard of anyone like You.
Whenever i take a moment to talk to
You, there is like a movie playing into my mind and i can remember
everything You have done so far for me and your promises come true.
Sometimes it feels so unrealistic, i
would say so good, so beautiful that it is hard to believe that You
talk to me. Yet You gave me the necessary faith, and opened the eyes
of my understanding to see it was really You talking to me.
That peaceful voice would tell me
Sabine you're not dreaming, the devil cannot read your thoughts and
therefore cannot be answering your secret questions just like i am
doing right now.
You re conciliated me to You and to
myself.
Father anytime i think about how You
have been protecting me...... Oh God i was living unworried, not
knowing i was near death's mouth, You showed me in many dreams, You
called my Name, but i was too busy pursuing worldly things to see that
my own life was at stake.
If i am still here, that is because You
said no. Father, being the God You are , being Lord and Majesty, You
humbled Yourself to come after the little creature i am out the
billions you have created, instead of me running after You. Though You had me aware, but i would not listen,Your Hand, Your Love,
Your Grace , Your Mercy, Your Favor were still covering me through
this valley of shadow of death.
Father many are gone who were not worse
than i am right now, i still do not have any clue which basis You
chose on, but like You said, your Grace is sufficient for me.
People claimed to love me and would
encourage me to follow them instead of following You. I believed them,
and because of that i was not having time for You anymore. I would do
anything to please them, in spite of what they would hurt me often.
Then this dark chapter of my life came up and suddenly they were all
now too busy, to see me or talk to me. I was no longer good for them,
being sick and jobless, not good looking, having lost my shine and
not being able to serve them anymore like before.
At a point even the closest ones were
getting tired of my condition. I was feeling so alone, so sad and
rejected, discouraged, abandoned, living in fear as i could feel
death was near and it could be any moment from then, but i was trying
to find a place into my heart to believe that the game was not yet
over.
I then desperately started trying to
find my way back to You. I would do it trying to convince myself that
i was doing it the right way. I was becoming bitter and bitter and
would blame everyone whatever was happening to me.
But oh Lord in Your Mercy, though i
would not really mind You, You gathered whatever was left of my soul,
completely broke it and day after day made something beautiful out of
it, and sent Your Spirit to dwell into me and would watch me all the
time.
The deliverance process was long and
painful, but i am so grateful that at last i am still here. I
remember having dreams, and being the daughter of whose daughter i
am, knowing the people i know, i was never able to bring them to
life.
Worse, they were fading away day after
day. Then i reached a point where i had completely lost hope , i
thought to myself what was the point of having dreams that would
never come true.
You progressively taught me to
completely rely on You which i started doing and in less than a
month, You blessed above all that i could ever imagine. You took me
to places i never thought i would ever be, made me eat at the tables
of people i never thought i would ever meet in my life. You would
walk ahead of me anytime i moved, your Angels bearing me up in their
hands and keeping my feet from being snared, Holy spirit talking to
me and comforting me. And here am i today, people who know all about
it are amazed at what i am still standing up and still into the race.
They have been surprised as it looked like i was done.
Father who will dare come before my
face and tell me that i am too young to live my life the way i am
living it now ? That i should forget about Church and service
and Jesus and follow fleshy and worldly desires ? Months ago
they were ashamed having to talk to me, as i looked like nothing and
did not fit to be their friends. Some of them used and gave me up
when i needed them the most. And now that You have rebuilt me, all of
a sudden they remember that i exist and want me to go and sit with
them and drink ?
Where were they when i was sick ?
Sad ? Abandoned ? Poor? Not good looking ? Dying ?
Human beings beings want you when you
are at you're best.
But oh Father you want us most when
we're at our worse.
Lord i am merely a human being and i
know that i have never been able to do anything good on my own, but i
have taken the pledge and take it again this day, i shall live and
serve You all the days of my life. My children shall know and glorify
Thy Name. They shall serve and be consecrated to You.
Taking that pleadge oh father i am not
relying on my own strength, but on Yours, knowing that the Same God
who saved me when i was lost into the World shall forever keep me at
His feet and complete whatever He started in my life. He shall keep
my Head above the water,both He and i shall not be ashamed, and i
will not be the one to put a barrier to His plans for my life. Father
as i have voluntarily taken that pledge, no matter what it takes, i
belong to You now, so whenever You see me drift away or do things
that are contrary to your words even a little, spank me, scold me,
punish me like a Father with his child do whatever it takes to bring
me back on track.
I shall trust You with all that i am.
I asked You to let thy Perfect Will be done into my life.
Dear Father, my heart have i poured out
to You through this letter.
