a letter for my Daddy , above

Dear abba,

i decided to write u a letter. a short one.

thank You for bringing me thru 2006 even there still a couple of weeks before 2007 comes.
Give thanks!
ref :1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Yes, in ALL circumstance...cos dear papa You will never shortchange us.

Exam is still on-going. I didn't complete 2 papers. i have the last one on thurs...but this time i dunno why i dun feel that stressful...is it becos i dun feel that stressful. I think everyone will feel nervous the first time having exam in uni...aiyah, in fact we would feel anxious for doing things the first time. but Daddy, u have been faithful and i trust You will be... no matter what...WHY daddy...why...
ref: Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

I want to honour You. but at many times, i know i am selfish. and that the decisions we make break your heart. BUT Why do u always forgive? Daddy, my future and hope is in You and NO ONE ELSE CAN take it away... but You respect the choices i make...

I was reminded by one thing You wrote in the bible. But before i carry on... can i tell You that in school, there is a module called " Bible and Christianity" Click on it and u can know more. I was quite surprised. OK... i was reminded about Abraham and Hebrews 13
8By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
17By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, 18even though God had said to him, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned."

Daddy, Abraham lived for 99yrs...Sarah was barren. But they finally had a son. well, i would think that no matter it's a baby boy or girl, Abraham would still obey and sacrifice his one and only child when instructed. I dunno if i will be able to do so. I doubt. Daddy, how did he do that?...We know Issac didn't die but Abraham then didn't know but yet he still obeyed...
Did he struggle? How did he cope? He's human.

I remember that You are the Giver. When You give, You do it graciously and generously. You even gave Jesus to the world when it was in darkness... Jesus came and changed the darkest time on earth to the brightest known to men. Jesus is indeed the Light of the world.
And as You are the Giver, surely You have the authority to take away, for our good, no matter how close we are to them... when we are too self-centered and when we lose sight of You, You would draw us back... You take the initiative to do so. Thank you Daddy.
ref: John1:9,10 The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
ref: John 3:19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

Daddy, i'm on the phone. Will catch You soon... and hope to hear from You...

Your child
William
