My Greatest Sacrifice

angel on Oct-28-2008

Dear God,

I’m doing this for you… I’m letting go… I’m giving up the greatest happiness I’ve ever known… because You made me feel that it’s the right thing to do. I’m so confused and I don’t know if this is really what you want me to do… but I took a risk. I took a huge risk. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done… but thank you for giving me the courage to do it.

This is the best thing to do, right? I think I’ve made the right decision. But why am I crying? Why do I feel so miserable and alone? Will this wound ever heal? Will the pain ever go away? Will I regret this for the rest of my life? They say that when one door of happiness closes, another will open… so I’m holding on that hope. The hope that you want something better for me, and at the end of it all, it will be worth the sacrifice.

I’m doing this for you, Father. My greatest sacrifice. Please help me through this coz I can’t do this on my own…

Memo From God

angel on Oct-13-2008

memo-from-god.jpgTo: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: THE BOSS
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE

I am God.Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help.

If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. All situations will be resolved… but in My time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now

If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don’t despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it’s like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn’t live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people’s bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!

I’ll Say Goodbye For The Two Of Us

angel on Oct-9-2008

Last night, I sat by the piano, which has been left untouched for so long now. As my fingers glided through the keys, I searched my mind to find that perfect song to express how I feel right now. An image of you flashed through my mind, it was as if you were right there in front of me, smiling that wonderful smile of yours. My heart ached once again.

Then my fingers found the perfect song. A beautiful song by Expose says it all. It says perfectly what my heart is trying to say. As I’m playing it on the piano, I just hope that you can hear the music in my heart… maybe someday… but for right now, I’ll Say Goodbye For The Two Of Us

When you wake up,
And find me gone tomorrow
Don’t think I meant to hurt you
I just did what we knew I had to do.

And all the time we knew
The time was never right for us
Time to leave this love behind
I could never leave you
Baby if I see you cry

I’ll say goodbye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep
I’ll kiss you softly one last time
And say goodbye, like I know we must
There’s just no other way
And I couldn’t bear to see your heart break
So I´ll wait till your asleep to say goodbye

Please realize
How hard it is to do this
I’m trying to make it through this
Say goodbye just as gently as I can.

Please try and understand
This time just wasn’t the time for us
We knew I couldn’t stay
But that don’t make it easier to leave you
So while I can find the strength…

Before your arms embrace me
Before your kisses take me
Before your eyes can make me stay

I’ll say goodbye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep
I’ll kiss you softly one last time
And say goodbye

When you wake up,
And find me gone tomorrow
Don’t think I meant to hurt you…

Goodbye…

Father’s Love Letter

angel on Sep-18-2008

fathers-love-letter.jpg

The words you are about to experience are true. They will change your life if you let them, for they come from the very heart of God. He loves you. and He is the Father you’ve been looking for all your life. This is His love letter to you.

My Child,

You may not know Me but I know everything about you. I know when you sit down and when you rise up. I’m familiar with all your ways. Even the very hairs on your head are numbered, for you were made in my image. In me you live and move and have your being. For you are my offspring. I knew you even before you were conceived. I chose you when I planned creation. You were not a mistake. For all your days are written in my book. I determined the exact time of your birth and where you would live. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. I knit you together in your mother’s womb and brought you forth on the day you were born.

I have been misrepresented by those who don’t know me. I am not distant and angry, but I’m the complete expression of love. And it is my desire to lavish my love on you simply because you are my child and I am your Father. I offer you more than your earthly father ever could. For I am the perfect Father. Every good gift that you receive comes from my hand. For I am your provider and I meet all your needs. My plan for your future has always been filled with hope because I love you with an everlasting love. My thoughts toward you are countless as the sand on the seashore. I rejoice over you with singing. I will never stop doing good to you for you are my treasured possession. I desire to establish you with all my heart and all my soul. And I want to show you great and marvelous things.

If you seek me with all your heart you will find Me. Delight in me and I will give you the desires of your heart. For it is I who gave you those desires. I am able to do more for you than you could possibly imagine. For I am your greatest encourager. I’m also the Father who comforts you in all your troubles. When you are brokenhearted I am close to you. As a shepherd carries a lamb, I have carried you close to my heart. One day, I will wipe away every tear from your eyes and I’ll take away all the pain you have suffered on this earth. I am your Father and I love you even as I loved my Son, Jesus. For in Jesus, my love for you is revealed. He is the exact representation of My being. He came to demonstrate that I am for you, not against you. And to tell you that I’m not counting your sins. Jesus died so that you and I could be reconciled. His death was the ultimate expression of my love for you.

I gave up everything I love that I might gain your love. If you receive the gift of my Son, Jesus, you will receive Me. And nothing will ever separate you from my love again. Come home and I’ll throw the biggest party Heaven has ever seen. I have always been Father and will always be Father. My question is, will you be my child? I am waiting for you.

Love, Your Dad, Almighty God

When I read this letter, I was moved. It’s the ultimate love letter from God to us. This is the love letter that we should read over and over again so we don’t forget how much God loves us.

(P.S. Each line is taken from a verse in the Bible. See the original text here.)

A Letter Of Thanks

angel on Aug-14-2008

praying.jpgTo my Father, Brother, Best Friend, and Savior…

I’m taking this chance to thank you for everything you’ve done for me. No words can describe how grateful I am that you’re with me. All through my life, you never left my side, through the good times and the bad. I’ve been through so much, been through a lot of hurt and miserable moments, and through all that, you’ve helped me overcome my fears, my doubts, my weaknesses. I never could have done it without you. You helped me realize my worth, you made me feel that I am loved, no matter what.

Thank you so much… there have been times when I thought I couldn’t take the pain anymore, there were times when I felt I could no longer stand the loneliness, but you were there to comfort me and tell me that everything is going to be all right. Through wonderful people and things, you reached out to me and reminded me that life goes on. Because of you, I saw that life is worth living, that there’s still so much in store for me, that I shouldn’t waste my life in unimportant things. You taught me how to TRUST, and you strengthened my FAITH. It wasn’t easy, but I did it. I did it because you were there… you held my hand… and that was all I needed.

I’m so BLESSED to have you. Thank you for protecting my heart, I feel so at peace when I know that you’re in control. I don’t ever wanna be without you. Thank you for using me for your glory. I love you so much.

With all my heart,
Angel

When You Walked Away

angel on Jun-25-2008

left-behind.jpg

I thought you said it would be you and me forever… I thought you said you’d never leave… You said you’d never stop loving me, and I believed you. But then one day, you walked away… I don’t know what went wrong… I wanted to stop you, but I wasn’t sure I could… or if I even should…

There have been times in the past when you walked away from me but you always came back… But now it’s different… I have this hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach, that this time, you’ll be gone for good… And it hurts… To watch the man I love leaving… To watch my baby walk away from me… But I know you had to…

When you walked away… I felt no bitterness or regret as I slowly watched your back disappear from view… What I felt was bittersweet longing of a love that once was, but never will be again… And now you’re gone to a place where I couldn’t be with you… Where all our memories will, from now on, only be from a distant past… You don’t need me anymore… So I’m letting you go, and I’ll send all my love with you…

“When these days are gone, when the love you once feel for me slowly fades away, when your smile and laugh is only here as a dream, and when the words ‘I love you’ are scripts of the past, I’ll always have the memories that were once moments, and I’ll always know that no matter what, I got the chance to love you the best way I can.”

Without You

angel on Jun-16-2008

leftinsilencebybitterpofh3.jpg

You made a mistake, and it hurts, but I’ve already forgiven you. During those days when we weren’t talking, I was able to do some self reflection, and I did a lot of thinking… and I realized that I’ve become too emotionally dependent on you and I know that it’s not fair. I guess I was just so happy with you, that I didn’t realize we both need to grow too. I thought I couldn’t live without you, but I realize now that I don’t really need a man to complete me. You broke my heart, and I became stronger because of it. I rediscovered my self worth, and that’s what I need to remember and keep reminding myself about, so that I can start picking up the pieces and start a new life for myself… without you.
