dear heavenly father,

i do really really really love You a lot. and at times, i dread the stuff that draws me away from You. the complicated steps i have to take to "prove" to others that i love You, the man-made systems that i have to follow which makes loving You so much more confusing and complicated. the distractions that i get that makes me doubt Your love for me... i thought love was just about loving, loving with all my heart, soul, mind, strength... i love You for who You are, the merciful God, the God who gets angry, the God who blesses... and i know that You love me for who i am too.

dear heavenly father,

thank You for willing to take every single step with me. thank You for holding my hands and walking with me throughout. thank You for the angels that You have given me in my life to support, encourage and edify me. thank You for the not-so-perfect family that You have provided me with, so that Your works can be perfected in this family. thank You for the special someone, who has taught me to love all the imperfections in my family through Your eyes.

dear heavenly father,

it's not just about ministries, not just student ministry nor issit just church ministry. it's about going beyond the four walls, going into communities, going into families, going to places where we are uninvited. thank You for making me part of Your outreach Lord, thank You for allowing me to be part of Your master plan for reconciliation, be it in my family, in my school or wherever You have put me in. i hope i haven't failed You heavenly father, i hope i haven't disappointed You Lord. teach me to make use of whatever You have given me, to bear fruits for You, to make full use of it, and shine in wherever You have placed me in.

dear heavenly father,

i love You. =)
