Glory to God! He is so faithful to his humble servant. What words can I use to describe His goodness and mercy?
He has given me life; my days are only by His Power and Love
He sustains, He provides
Amazing is his love
From my mother’s womb, He is my beloved God
He watched me since I was hidden from eyes of men
Lovingly He takes care of me with unspeakable affections
Yes, even though my mother had fallen a sleep
And I still remember that day when my bearer’s day ended
That was six years ago, 14 August 2003, she closed her eyes
And left me as a lonely, desolate child
But, behold, my Creator has never abandoned me even in a glance
Mom, my heart is very happy for God’s kindness
He graciously holds my hands and leads me in the narrow way unto Himself
How could I doubt with His Strong and Mighty arms?
I trust my whole life to Him forever
Mom, I remember your sorrows and tears,
Your silence and smiles
Even though you didn’t laugh too much but I do remember some of yours
I am very pleased to remember your obedience to our culture
Your commitment in life to keep pure and kind
Although because of that I could not touch you without your permission
Now, I have been growing to be a young man without seeing you with my earthly eyes
Through the valleys and rivers, lakes, seas and islands
But I am just as naive, simple and careless as I was
Yet, I guess my appearance is different than last time,
When you smiled at me, when you saw me for the last time with your earthly eyes as 13 years old boy!
Memory Eternal, Mom

ReplyDeleteIn your About Me profile, Yudhie, you say, "I am nothing," but you are everything to me, and to our heavenly Father, but I know what you mean.
ReplyDeleteTen is the perfect number, but we can only reach it by adding our "zero" to God's "one." Together with Him, by His mercy, we attain perfection.
Humble yourself, and the Lord will raise you up. Amen.
We thank God for you, dear brother, every day.
Memory Eternal!
