In this world where everyone thinks himself to be right, what do I do?
So Dad warned me of X Y and Z of why my future would be ridden with problems.
He said it earnestly and honestly, based on his life experience in this world and life understanding of men.
And he said it with Love, the only way a dad knows how to love his daughter.
While I feel deeply touched at his love for me, I wanted to say to him: “If you want a guarantee in life, you might not live at all.“
In other words, I can’t guarantee 100% that my future would not have some rainy days,
However, what I do know is that I have Him who Loves me dearly, He who watches over my shoulder to make sure I’m alright; He who promises me all the Love in this world and beyond, He who would never foresake me, even if the whole world abandons me.
Now, the problem is, would I say to my dear father on earth that “Don’t worry Dad, God is watching over me, He will be with me through the ups and downs, the good and the bad, so please don’t worry for me, because I have God’s Love and Promise.”
Of course I wouldn’t say such things to dad, why? He would have thought that I’ve been brain-washed by religion and that I might be out of my own mind.
Now I pray for my father, I pray that one day (hopefully sooner than later) that dad would get to know my Heavenly Father, I pray that dad would feel His Love for mankind, I pray that whenever dad worries about me (which I know he still will even if He accepts God), that he would, amongst all worries, to learn to pray to Our Heavenly Father for His will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Dad also mentioned that I have inherited his feisty temper and my mother’s kind/innocent heart (mom married dad with utter trust even though he was being deceitful back in the days), he said that even though I’m quick to anger I am also quick to putting my trust in the people closest to me. He said it as if it’s a bad thing because it makes me vulnerable, but deep inside, as he was making such comment, I was thanking God in all His glory for putting “the ability to TRUST” in me, I know I have chosen right, I know I’m doing the right thing by having trust, not that I trust/distrust men on earth, but I know the He would make everything right through everyone I encounter, and that is enough. All that which does not bear fruit God rightly trims them away from me, all that which is fruitful God blesses me with abundance. Hallelujah~
Amen
