I've seen the oceans, the mountains and the snow. But you, accepting Jesus, is still the greatest sight to behold.
I'm excited for you.
You smiled beautifully when we first met. I asked if you've been coming often and you said it's your third. I'm excited. I asked how old you are and you said "Fifteen". I'm so excited for you. I'm too excited for you.
We're about to sing a song that speaks gratitude for His love - "Beautiful Love" and you whispered to me "Ate, favorite ko yan". I'm excited. I'm so excited for you. I'm too excited for you.
At the end of the most beautiful message of all time, the message of His great love and great plan to save you. You responded. You responded to His great love. I'm excited. I'm so excited for you. I'm too excited for you.
My heart beats fast.. oh girl.. Do you have any idea what awaits?
You will finally stop waiting to know your identity.
You will finally stop seeking love in other places.
You will finally stop trusting in yourself and your good works .
You will finally stop being out of place.
You will finally stop wondering if you have value.
You will finally stop compromising.
You will finally stop being hopeless.
You will finally stop waiting to be complete.
You will finally stop searching for happiness in circumstances
You will finally stop living for yourself.
You will finally know more about this God who loved you first.
The God who never stopped loving you and never will.
Oh, I'm rushing things here! Know that I'm just excited. I'm so excited for you. I'm too excited for you.
Some of these things will happen in an instant, but most will be a process.
A beautiful process that you will not trade for anything.
My hearts leaps as I remember myself in you.
I'm excited. I'm so excited for you. I'm too excited for you.
Oh the places you will go!
Oh the faith that will arise!
Oh the calling that you will answer!
Oh the love that you will give away!
Oh the prayers that you will utter.
Oh the relationships that you'll have!
Oh the dates that you'll have with our Daddy God.
Oh this great adventure with our Savior.
Every moment will be red-letter.
And you will know that He's the sweetest.
But little sister, it'll not be easy. There are times that it'll be bumpy and stormy.
Be still. Know. Know that He is God. He is God. He will forever be.
And this awesome, loving, mighty, powerful God is in you, with you and gone ahead of you.
He will never let go of your hand.
Be encouraged. Nothing in this world will ever separate you from His love.
Can I just pray for you?
Daddy God,
I thank You. I thank You for the life of this girl who just met You and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. I thank You for orchestrating this moment from the beginning of time. I'm excited. I'm so excited for her. I'm too excited for the both of you. I'm excited of how You will mold her. I'm excited of what she'll become in Your love.
I know, You will always be her best "Yes". I pray that You'll just give her the grace to choose You everyday, to love You and other people more and more each day. May You strengthen her and train her for battles. May You surround her with people who will walk this journey together. May You save her family. May You use her mightily for Your Kingdom.
Thank You, for NOTHING in this world will ever separate her from Your love. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen!
To the girl who just met Jesus,
May your soul forever sing your "favorite" song:
Oh what love, how can it be?
From that cross You looked at me
Oh what love, poured out for me
What a beautiful love
Love
So glorious
Came down unashamed, You called me Yours
Caught up in Your grace, You're all I need
There's nothing more beautiful than Your love
(Beautiful Love by Victory Worship)
To the girl who just met Jesus,
Remember not to forget.
Never give in to familiarity.
Never ever forget His love. The love that saves. The loves that secures.
The love that cost Jesus His blood and life.
The love that's for you.
Personally.
I'm excited for you. I'm so excited for you. I'm too excited for you to be a princess in awe.
Love,
Ate Ycah
