Yes, I did it. Yes it's me.
Can't you just arrest me too?
Thank you for being born as a daughter of Dad.
Don't forget Today and Dad.
Those were the lines I noted while and after watching my dream-to-watch "Miracle in Cell No. 7". "Dream-to-watch-movie" because I've 'been wanting to watch this film since I was in the University (more than a year ago). People say that it'll definitely make me cry (I love to cry while watching anything, so..I really looked forward). Just recently, it became pretty popular in my Facebook News feed. People will post how it made them cry, how it made them better than "Nora Aunor" (ehem, Dyna) when it comes to shedding tears, how it surprised them or simply how adorable the little girl is. Enough said. I need to watch this!
And today (June 16, 2014), I did! How,when I don't have time, I won't watch online and I don't have a copy!
Because of Typhoon Glenda, our management decided to send us home early (11 AM). Yay! I finally have time! Next, my little sister in Christ, Jimna lend me her tablet so I could watch it. (Take note: She even gave me her Tissue!)
I'm so happy and excited!Come on! Let's do this!
Let me explain now why those lines in the beginning of this post touched and got me.
"Yes, I did it. Yes it's me."
This. This. This. This made me cry a bunch. I mean, honestly, those words?!!! This is the very reason Miracle in Cell No. 7 is a tearrrrrr- jerkerrrrr...heart-ripping....movie to me.
It reminded me of the Gospel. It reminded me of what God did for me, for us. Sacrificing an innocent's life just to make sure her little daughter would live? Waaahhh!!
21 God made him who had no sin to be sin[a] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
2 Corinthians 5:21(NIV)
Taking a punishment for something you never did? Willingly doing it for love? Oh, don't forget, he's even saying "Kamsahamnida (thank you)" upon hearing the verdict. Though it's undeniably unfair, undeniably painful, wala eh. He loves. He loves! Actually, I fought the tears from falling again while writing this, haha!) He loves us. Period.
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
"Can't you just arrest me too?"
This is what I want to have: A child-like faith. A little daughter who just wants to be with her Father. A pure desire to follow Him, wherever that might be. This is what I cry out. :'( This is where my first teardrop fell I think.
"Thank you for being My Daughter."
I was so reminded that He is proud of me. That He loves me, that He delights in me, that I'm more important than the things I did, doing and will do for Him. Nakakaiyak isipin hindi ba? Pero TOTOO! He's rejoicing over us with singing. He's hugging us when we go to Him.
Just like in the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) right? No matter what he did, He loves him. He's just waiting for him to turn away from the wrong direction and run towards Him.
20 So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
He's happy that we're back. :)
"Don't forget Today and Dad."
Ycah,
Don't forget the day I whispered in your heart, "I love you", don't forget the day I showed you that on the Cross. Don't forget Dad who loves you so much, Dad who thinks that your love is better that His life, Dad who's desire is nothing but what's best for you...
Please don't forget Today that I reminded you of my unconditional love.
Dad
Dearest Daddy in Heaven,
I don't want to stop crying. I don't want to stop being grateful. I don't want to stop being overwhelmed by Your love. Again and again and again and again.
Kumamoyo Appa (Thank You Dad!)
Sarang Hae (I love You)!
Ycah
Father-daughter relationship melts my heart |
I want to enjoy His presence forever! |
The Sailor moon bag that's the reason of it all. It's just revealed to me that it's like "Salvation" that Dad wants to give us all. |
