Touched by God’s Love and Amazing Ways
The last Heart2Heart session of 2011… already??? Time has flown by so quickly!
I had not been regularly attending the Heart2Heart sessions this year, but I wanted to attend the last one of the year as it would be a while before we have the chance to meet all the moms again…
The past week had been a rather difficult one for me because my daughter had been coughing at night and disrupting my sleep terribly. I prayed before going to bed that God would wake me up earlier for me to make it in time for the Heart2Heart meeting. Amazingly, despite lack of sleep, I woke up very early which meant I could make it in time… It was clear that God wanted me to be there…
I really appreciated the open and vulnerable sharing by various moms on how God had brought them through different challenges, struggles and key moments during this past year, especially Geraldine’s and Chitra’s stories. It was a rare occasion to hear many stories that described the different ways that God is at work in our lives. It was a pity that we did not have time to listen to everyone’s stories…
The video that we watched affirmed God’s love for us. One of the highlights of the video was a compilation of Bible verses from both the Old and New Testaments presented in the form of a love letter from God, which was narrated in the video. The verses chosen span different thoughts, ideas and expressions of God’s love. I had always believed that God loved me, but to hear it again through how the different verses were woven together was very refreshing. We also received a printed version of the Father’s Love Letter which I liked a lot. When I went home, I put up the letter so I could look at it often. I also visited the website: www.fathersloveletter.com which is amazing. I hope that more people will get to know it and share it as I think it can touch many lives. (Do take a look at it if you haven’t been there…)
I am very grateful to the moms at Heart2Heart who work behind the scenes to organize meetings, pray, update the blog, email, sms us and express love to other mothers. I pray that the H2H ministry will continue to touch many more lives for Jesus next year!
