4 days, 3 nights, one person...
It was during the conference of 'Opwekking' that it happened. Before that, I still had to arrange some things and make sure that the step to take was safe and sound. Even yet, three weeks before that, had I already taken a painful but rational decision: The courtship with My Dear far away in the distance was over...now new steps had to be taken. In this case, move on finding true love where it was to be found.
During those four days has the love of my Father made it clear that true love indeed existed at the streching of my arm. While embracing the dear friend of mine I once met at the beginning of this journey in the promised land, did it become clear.
God is faithful, He did not only give me the frienship of this amazing lady, but the appreciation of her parents as well. As for my friends, they wouldn't agree more on us having a relationship together. This is absolutely amazing, absolutely new.
Not only because of the chance to lie down on the road contemplating the shining stars at 3:00am, but also due to all the experiences lived together so far. From Skating over ice, walking along the beach at sunset, going to concerts together, visiting special places as Madurodam or an Ice sculpture museum, and countless of times eating exquisitely with her folks, was a dear friend of mine born within.
Even when she realized I had a long-distance relationship did she respect it. However, she did not neglect me leaving me unaccompanied while having to mis My Dear every single day. The attributes of pure love, pure friendship, a pure lady.
Dear of mine, [now far away]
The wound of the past relationship is taking time to heal. There are moments in the which I wonder why. But God nows why, He knows what's the best for us both. He has surely united us Spiritually and though a courtship with each other is not a possibility anymore, He knows that the love for each other remains. A frienship's love that will last forever. I will not say good-bye, because it does not exist; but instead, I tell you friend of mine:
never let God's hand go off of yours. He needs you as much as you need Him. Let our Father give you all you need to reveal the world that everything is possible in Christ who strengthens us. (Philippians 4:13) May the wildest of your dreams become a reality as a witness of God's greatness and faithfulness for his children. As for me, I'll continually be praying for you and your house that you may be greatly blessed and used by Him.
Rose of mine,
Your petals are so soft that I fear to harm them with my touch. You've been true to me, your friendship has found a new place in the room of my heart. You're now the radiant flower lying in my window that all people talk about. The flower that gives comfort to my soul when the heaviness of the day has taken its toll. The fragance of your love disperses filling up every corner left in this heart of mine. You're now the flower I delight to contemplate while knowing that you're there.
Now that you know that my room is wide open for your fragance to fill it up, I wait patiently for your petals to open up for me...
My Father in Heaven,
I can hardly believe and understand what's going on. Life has suddenly taken a whole turn on me. You gave me hardships to make me stronger, You gave problems to make patient, You gave me trials to remain faithful, You gave challenges to find trust, have faith, and finally rest in You. Many times do I fail to those trials, but nevertheless does your faithfulness remain. You never let me go, neither do you ever leave me alone.
After those three weeks of darkness, is your light radiating more than ever before.
The blessings are overwhelming and even countless! I love you oh Lord for you loved me first. How could I ever let go of you embracing arms?
Jesus, lover of my soul, let your love and light shine through me that they may open their eyes and see what I see. I praise you and thank you for your unfailing love...
May your name be glorified, Amen.
