慶祝媽媽生日寫的信

兒子2008/9/25慶祝媽媽生日寫的信

Dear Mom:

Happy Birthday! It's another year that the Lord had gracious to us. He is good and kind, his ways are always true. The Lord has truly blessed our family. Thinking from the salvation of grandpa, who was healed of cancer and continue to live believing the power of Christ. I remember he says, “God's power is great!” Just thinking back of Tina coming back as a prodigal daughter, God's hand protected her from evil and bring her back again through a dream in the night, isn't God wonderful?



And thinking about your son, who you though not only won't finish college, and have not much hope. God once again prove that his plans are higher than ours, right? Didn't the hand of God open the door to City College then to San Francisco State University, where many of your students had studied? Isn't God the provider of all things, if we look upon him? There are so many things we must be thankful of, and not become unbelieving and forgetful people. More than this, entire do you remember your uncle who had fallen into coma, and now is getting better and better? Isn't God great in all his ways? His arms are not too short to perform signs and wonders. We give Him all the glory.



I hope you appreciate what God is doing even in my life. Not being worried, but cast all anxiety unto him. How is it that God provide shelter and provision for the past 8 years in America? Isn't that God? Leading me from one house to another, from one state to another? Isn't him the Great I am, who had compassion in all that he had made? How it is your son has passion to serve God and love him with all that he do. Your son always seek to glorify Him through all that he know, no matter music, movies, film, drawing, words, relationship. Isn't this the hand of God? God chooses to give mercy to whoever he desires. May the proud fall, May the humble be exalted!



He pick up broken vessels like me, when no one believed in me, when I have no future, when I have no hope, when I am broken inside, when I am downcast, deserted on the earth, when trampled upon man, when isolated, being lonely and rejected, when tricked and deceived by man. Is it because our devotion and our faithfulness towards God? Absolutely not! It is God's hand and him alone. He showed His mercy from on high!

Who is He that keeps you here? Who is He that save your life from evil man and deliver you from the pit? Isn't that the high and lofty one? Isn't that the God Almighty who thunders from on high and shakes the depths of the earth? All creation trembles at his presence. He is faithful to the end, for He loves us to the very end.



I am especially grateful that God has given both you and dad to me as a gift. I am the way I am, it's because of you and dad. I am a creature combine the talents and gifting of both of you, adding God's grace and favor. You are a true gift from God. But you must be awaken unto the high calling that God has called you to do, God has a plan for your life that you not about. And I earnestly pray that God will show that to you. We have a noble call to serve the God of the most high and foremost to love Him with all of our mind, our soul, our strength, and our heart.



Besides your unique calling in God, I thank you for all your labors and love for me all these years. I know that you love me the best you know. And I appreciate that a lot, for without you I don't know where I would be today. Mom but I pray that God will continue to give you the spirit of wisdom of revelation to know how to walk before him. To know depths of His love which is surpassing all knowledge, it is the love of Christ wider than the heaven, higher than the sky, deeper than the ocean, longer that the earth. May we be ever lost in His wonderful love and grow in His grace. The spirit of wisdom and revelation will open up our eyes to see the real world, to see the reality of life, which is much more than eating, drinking, living, the daily usual. We must be awakening unto this glorious reality of the life in the spirit.



Wow! God is so good and gracious to you and me! I can't wait until we see him face to face. I truly wish to celebrate your birthday with you, but I can't, but I know that Jesus Himself remembers this day very well. For on this when you were born, He sent his very angels around your bed to sing a song of joy to accompany, he made known your life to the angels and demons on all the earth, declaring that you are a precious jam and jewel in His eyes, you are His precious child. This is how much Jesus remembers this wonderful day of exceeding joy. So now, don't be disappointed, but praise Him for His glory and given you grace to live humbly before Him instead like those man of great wealth celebrating giving a huge party and ignoring the poor and needy.



It is the grace of God that we can share this humility with our dear savior and Lord. For when He was on earth, this is how He walked, lowly and quiet even till the point of death. Jesus humble son of man! The Lamb that was slain! Who bore the sins of multitudes! And giving the glory to the most High God! He is worthy to be praised! Rejoice on this day! IT is the day of His great works! Rejoice mother! Rejoice! For God will dwell upon man! God will live among us forever! What a marvelous thing to think of!

I Love you very much and may you rejoice!

Your son,

Alvan
