Letter to God by / Brief aan God

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for giving your Son to the world so that we can be free of Sin.

 

I am writing this letter to You with all my love, faith and hope.  I have walked a long and sometimes hard road over the years and have to admit that I were not always faithful to Your word, but for some reason you hold onto my hand and never let go.

 

I also know that the road won't be full of roses going forward, but I have the peace and assurance that You will hold onto my hand.

You have saved me from so many things. The time that I lost my job and with all the mergers with so many banks, You were trueful to Your word and have looked after me daily. Going through divorce, and I wanted to throw in the towel, You raised me up, hold me tight and show me the light. I don't know how I would have survived without You.

Thank you for your blessings that I received every minute. My life belongs to You and I love You very much.

Lord Jesus, I praise You for making it possible for me to be onbes mind wit other Christians, in spit of our difference, and that Your blood washed me clean of sin and makes me new. Amen

Tye wat ek alleen en eensaam was, het U die lig laat skyn oor bly en met U heilige stem in my hart hoop gegee vir die toekoms. Ek rig my oe op U elke dag en weet day my roepstem beantwoord sal word. Ek weet ek fraak baie ongeduldig as dinge nie gebeur wanneer ek dit wil he nie, maar op U tyd en wil.

Ek is U ewig dankbaar vir die krag wat ek van U ontvang het, sonder dit sou ek nie op my eie kon aangaan nie. Wat 'n wonderlike hemelse Vader is U.

 

Dankie vir 2 pragtige dogters en 2 kleindogters wat U aan my toe vertrou het. erk vra dat U hulle sal seen en elke dag saam met hulle sal wees.

Psalm 23 :4 - Al gaan ek deur donker dieptes, sal ek nie bang wees nie, want U is met my. In U hande is ek veilig.

Tot U Here, rig ek my, my God, op U vertrou ek. Laat my vertroue tog nie vergeefs wees nie. Amen

Singleness does not mean Rejection - Purpose

I am single for sometime now and one day I sat down and thought about my past life, difficult times and heart-aches I have experienced as a single person, even my childhood came upon  and an emptiness filled my heart. I always felt singled out when birthdays, social events, etc; comes up. The assumption that because you are single, you lack purpose or direction, is emotionally unstable, sexually frustrated and unfulfilled and there's always a stigma around you.

I sat down and started to weep for a long time and then became very quiet. I wanted to allow my true feelings to surface. In that moment for the first time, I knew that God had  become my emotional shield, my protector and my strong tower of defense and I was free to express my true self.

Perhaps in your own life, certain wounds have caused you to build walls and put up smoke screens. Perhaps the pain of separation or divorce has caused you to stop being genuine with others.

Every time you're around someone,  particularly the opposite sex, you put on a mask. It's not the real you. It's a protective shield to keep you from ever being hurt again.

God has taken you wounds and frustrations from multiple rejections and borne them so you may know healing, wholeness, release and freedom to love again in  Him.

God is saying to you today that you don't need those defenses any more. You don't need those masks.

You have got a better one - the Lord Himself.

He is calling you to take those hurts and release them to him. God wants you to lay the wounds of that divorce, the anger of loss in widowhood, or the frustration and pain of multiple rejections that you may have experience in the single life upon Him and you are complete in Him.

God has taken your wounds and frustrations from multiple rejections and borne them so you may know healing, wholeness, release and freedom to love again in Him.

Every person - whether single, married, or divorced is a complete person with abilities, talents, skills and promise. When you use your abilities to glorify God, He will purify you bless you beyond comparison.

God has a place and a purpose for you!
