I love my Dad,
As much as the rest of my beloved family
I wouldn't be strong if not for him
who taught me at a very young age
Of three or four years old
How people who are as kind as we are
Be the totally opposite of the person
God created us all to be
For we are told that
God created us all
In His own image and likeness
And that makes us "good"
As God is!
Who knows why some of us changed?
Circumstances, ...
Injustices, ...
Cruelty of others who are themselves
Victims of the evil that is in the world, ...
These evil poeple greatly hunger
For money, fame and power ...
Dad told me that no matter what
Any evil done to you by anyone
Smile and quietly whisper a prayer to God
Saying, "Lord God, I know You saw that ..."
And just let them off the hook
Move on and believe that
God knows
Nothing can be hidden from Him
" You know... ?"
Daddy asked me,
"Do you understand my child?"
I nodded and assured him that I have

At that time, I thought I fully understand
But after witnessing everything that has happened to him
To our family and to everything God blessed us with
I realized that in this world, you can be fooled
Not all people who smile at you are good
There are those who pretend
But are actually like lions or wild animals
Waiting to devour their naive prey
As we all continue to experience
And go through these heart wrenching
Mind torture, mind boggling scenarios
Captured by the clouts of God's enemies
Being trapped in one's most frightening reality
Amidst the chaotic situations
Simultaneously happening all at once
With all the sufferings you encounter
Consumed by extreme exhaustion
Every inch of your whole being
Swallowed by a seemingly endless black hole
Though shattered, you stood your ground
By God's grace you fought the battle
Those who witnessed were puzzled in disbelief
Your grip on reality they even questioned
Finally, your vision is all crystal clear
There was no one beside you
Not even those whom you thought
Loved you enough to die for you
The way you would sacrifice your all for them
I tell you
That's when you know
You hit rock bottom
You discover that
God is there.
He is the surefire Rock at the bottom
God is all there is in the endless existence of us all
You can hold onto His steady, mighty hand
And He would make you so strong
That with God you're able to conquer anything ...
Standing firmly on the ROCK... on GOD.
When nothing can solve such situations
You're left no choice
but to leave everything
Unto God's almighty hands
Life teaches you
To completely entrust your all
To the Almighty GOD, the Alpha and Omega
The Beginning and the End
The God who was, who is and who is to come ...
Our God is the One who holds our future
He's already there in the days ahead of us
Beautiful tomorrows
He has set for each one of us...
So, in one's darkest hours
You'd know that there'd be no one you can trust ...
No one ... but the loving Creator, Himself
It's only God who can save you.
And you learn to say
The prayer of our Lord Jesus
"Father, not my will but Your will be done."
You say this not only because of complete obedience
But because you were given the grace by God the Father
You knew by God's grace how God loves each one of us
You are assured of the Heavenly Father's love for you
That if He allows the things happening to you
You will completely, willingly surrender unto His will
Knowing that God is true to His promises when He said,

" It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. " - Deuteronomy 31:8 ESV

" Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. " - Isaiah 41:10 ESV
It is in complete abandonment
To the limitless oceans of God's grace
That's when you fully experience
The amazing love of God embracing you
Experiencing every single second
The truth in all creation
In all existence
And in all eternity
God is love in its purest form
So pure that when you had a grasp of even a little of it
You would rejoice in limitless, true happiness
Somehow in a way,
His wisdom is understood
That it is a great delight to Him
Having shared with us, His beloved children
This infinite, overflowing
Tremendous amount of love that God is.
