Dear FriendsWhat I am about to share, is rather personal to me. I am writing this to testify the deep & faithful love of my Heavenly Father to me. And you are part of this.This mail is long; because if I would leave out some details you may not be able to piece the whole picture. So if you don’t want to read it is practically fine. No worries, you are free to delete this mail now.

Let me see, where should I start this.
On sat 22-Aug-09, after serving in DL & fellowship I went back home, after taking a bath I heard the Father’s voice telling me to talk to Him and read His word. It was about 11pm+, honestly I was tired and I wanted just to go watch TV to relax myself. Anyway I dragged myself to my study table, I flipped the Bible to Exodus 12.In summary, Exodus 12 talks about the how God miraculously delivered the Israelites (His people) from the hands of the Egypt whom had kept them in captivity & slavery for over 430 years.When I read about this, what came to my mind was God’s faithfulness towards His people. When He promised to Mosses & them, that He would deliver them, He meant what He said. I thought nothing more about this; I was tired so I close the Bible and went out to watch TV.Little did I realize Father was not finish with this chapter in my life. The very next day, I went for Sunday 23-Aug-09 11:30am service @ PL. While worshipping I was reminded of what I read yesterday, and also what had happened to me exactly 1 year ago. (Some of you from my blog would have known what happened?) Back track a little, 1 year ago, Father spoke to me and wanted me to give Him 2 years of my life (starting from 24-Aug-08), focusing on & trusting Him, and allow Him to use me. He promised me that within 2 years, He will restore double to my life what I have lost, and He also mentioned within the first year I would see a difference in my life. As I worship I being telling myself; “Within 1 year? Today is Aug 23, what kind of miracle will I expect to see?” When I continued to worship, Father brought images to my mind, one of them was the KTV we were going to have that night.
Indeed the first restoration He brought to my life is Friendship. Yes when He said within 1 year, Aug 23 was also considered within 1 year. Father meant what He said; He is indeed always faithful to His words.I began to smile and appreciate what He has blessed me. In the mist of the worship we sang {You Are My All in All}, one of my favorite singer Dennis Jernigan’s song. And to my surprise towards the end of the service, we sang the song [I Serve A God Who is Faithful]. God even gave me a song to remind me & thank Him for His faithfulness.

Talk about timely coincidence.If this is not God then who?

Friendship is something, which I treasure deeply; I would rather enjoy a laugh with a friend then win the conversation. If it’s within my means I will go all out for a friend. And to me money is not an issues, what’s most important is everyone must be happy. So if possible let me give you a treat. Then again don’t take my kindness as a weakness, don’t try to borrow money from me. I will ask you loads of question, and this is for your own good, just in case. Ha-ha J

I used to think my birthday was “destroyed” one year ago, I never expected friends would stay till late to sing KTV together with me. (Yet I am sure you all had fun also right?) You know this to me it’s a miracle. The gift & the photos will become a sweet memory in my mind/heart for years to come.By the way, Audrey pointed out to me monday, which I never realized. Father also reminded me (and also us) of His love for us in the mist of our KTV session. Who would have thought we would sing the song [Lord I Lift Your Name On High]? What kind of logic is this? A christian worship song in a KTV? What’s more it is only famous for Chinese songs. I really wonder what made Sean Seet YongYu click on this song. Sorry to say, I actually wanted to cut this song. As I was thinking; “wah ! church never sing enough ah ? Come here also want to sing !” After I saw how excited you all wanted to sing this song I held back that thought. It was indeed a surprise joy & laughter.Talk about timely coincidence.If this is not God than who?Yong Yu thanks for choosing this song. This song actually carried a deeper meaning to me. Before I was a Christian, I was from an Anglican school and one of my favorite morning assembly songs was [Lord I Lift Your Name On High]. I don’t know why, I just like it la. Probably because of the melody? To me this song is amazing, because a simple 5 lines chorus is able to so strongly summaries the life of Jesus, and His love for us.In additional, I have told one of you that during my Cambodia mission trip, that I got a surprising shock that on the very first day I was supposed to lead Glorify. On the back of my mind, I’m wanting also to choose [Lord I Lift Your Name On High].Talk about timely coincidence.If this is not God than who?

An additional bonus of Love from the Father, today 24-Aug-09 while I was on my way to work on a bus. In most circumstances I will have a seat to sit so I can sleep, but today I am “forced” to stand. I finally knew the reason why a few minutes later. As I gaze outside the bus window, I saw a milky white construction lorry (GT4288Y), and at the side there was these words printed in light blue { God is forever loving you }.How in the world? Who will bother to print such words on the lorry

For a second I was amazed, the very next second I felt an instant Love of the Father. Once again a re-affirmation of His love for me. An actual birthday gift, on the actual day. Thank you Father.

Talk about timely coincidence.If this is not God than who?

Thanks everyone, you played a part in piecing up the whole picture of the Father love for my life.

Lord I lift Your name on high
Lord I love to sing Your praises
I’m so glad You’re in my life
I’m so glad You came to save ME (us)

You came from heaven to earth
To show the way
From the earth to the cross
My debts to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord I lift Your name on high
Lastly, just want to close this off that Father has used Dennis Jernigan (DJ) to so amazingly in my life. That throughout seasons of my life, his songs never fails to strike a deep chord in my heart. It is as if Father is using DJ’s song to sing His love over me and at times for me to just to simply worship Him.Attached is one of the song that Father gave to me on mon 24-Aug.

I have breath & I have life
I have friends to walk beside
I have treasures deep inside
My memories

I have home & family
I have joy & I have peace
I have everything I need for this dayI have been bless & I’ll thank the Lord this day
