Dear Jesus,
What a long day! =) It's 12, and I've just got home... And my friends, what a lot to share! Dear Jesus, I thank You, despite its being so difficult. I have been waking frequently these past nights and keeping short hours. But it was good to stay up last night as an encouragement to a little bro. =) Oh bro, the lesson now is not in the doing of the task, but how He must be acknowledged from beginning to end, as being the One who can use anybody willing. Not by might, not by power, but by His Spirit! And success is His responsibility. Yours is to obey.
Thanksgiving 2: The last few days of prayer for one of my dearest sisters has finally brought resolution to a year-long search over her life direction. Together in prayer the restlessness that uncertainty creates is finally dissolved, peace is restored, and my dear sister is excited about the days ahead. I look forward to those...there shall be many more merry moments of fellowship. Lunch this afternoon was certainly a joy. =)
And on a last matter, closest to my heart, Father teach me to persevere in love, even when it demands my discouragement, and when my human capacities are worn to their ends, Father You are my strength. You are my hope in every pathetic condition, and You will hold me when I have reached the ends to myself. You will not let the heart bleed till it stops, You will not overlook that which needs attention. You will let nothing steal my joy. My Jesus, my soul's lover, friend and very treasure! To have You is to have everything! I wish to boast of nothing else. =)
