Arrival of the Promised Visa

December 17, 2008 was the day of the arrival of the promised visa. At last, after a long wait, it now came to an end.

I wonder if I stopped praying. I wonder if I blamed God for everything terrible that happened to me few months ago. Then maybe I’m not as thankful as now, and maybe my spirit did not grow like this. I’m one of the most joyful and most thankful persons in the world. The moment I spoke to God that “Lord, I need my visa no more. I don’t need my visa now. I need You!”, you know what, He’s such a lover. I heard Him saying, “Child, because you said that, I’m giving you my promised visa. It won’t take very long! It’s my promise, remember?” He’s the most faithful I have known! I really love Him and I can’t help, but, you know, to fall to my knees. I really can’t imagine how I will fight the battle of life without Him. He’s truly my greatest lover and with that, I’m giving my greatest offering—my life.

I know I will meet more sufferings in the future that will make me even stronger, godlier and more wonderful in the eyes of God. But I shall always remember too that midst the darkness, the Lord provides light and if He has already rescued me in the past, then He’s gonna save me until the end. Always will I remember how He met all my needs so again, there’s no reason for me not to trust Him.

Because of all these tests of faith, God and I were closer and more intimate. I pray that God will give me a humble heart the moment I receive His promised success in my life. Thanks, Jesus!
