Have you ever experienced to received a letter from someone? A friend's letter, a parents letter or a love letter.
When we received letter, we feel that we are so special because that person put an effort to write a letter instead of chatting you or texting you because that is the way of communicating nowadays.
Writing is an old fashion for someone, but for me I appreciated those kind of act especially when its hand written π
Yesterday I recieved a letter from someone. Not just a letter but a hand written letter. I didnt expect that kind of letter yesterday because its been how many years passed since I recieved a letter from someone.
Let me tell you what happened yesterday..
We were took a rest in our room then suddenly I heard a voice. There's someone calling in front of our house and looking for me. I went outside the house and I saw KC. KC is one of the member of Jehovah's Witnesses who are visiting me and sharing to me some of their topics in the booklet of their religion. Actually they are three, and they are siblings but yesterday it was only KC who give me the booklet and the letter.
Before the pandemic happened , they visited me once a week and shared some of the topics in their booklet. I am Born Again Christian but I welcomed them wholeheartedly in our house and let them share the topics on their booklet. They are all single but they already discussing a topic about marraige because that is what I need. Everytime they visited me, I listened to them and also sharing some of my experiences in life.
I am thankful to them because they are here with me during the time that I feel the spiritual thirst. I appreciate them so much. How they visited me and asking how's the life of my family.
I created two articles here and those articles was inspired on the topics that we tackled in the past. All of the topics that they discussed has a great help for me. I listened to them with heart because I love on how they based their topics on the bible.
So when the pandemic happened , they didnt went to our house anymore until yesterday KC visited me. She give me a new booklet and there's a hand written letter inside on the booklet. I read the hand written letter and while I read the lines of her letter, I was so touched. Its like a letter coming from a friend, a little sister and also a reminder for me not to worry despite of what we've faced now.
I will show you her letter , I want to share this to you all because it is meant to be shared. I will translate it to English language so that every one will understand it.
Dear Sister Jen,
I am writng this letter to ask you if how's your life going especially now that it's pandemic. Our situation is hard because of Covid 19 and also because of that we limit our visitation to your house. We already missed the discussions and reading the bible that's why we decided to write a letter.
Im sure that you will agree that because of this pandemic , there are times that we began to worry about our health, family and even on how to provide the daily needs of our love ones. And through this questions in our mind, maybe we also thought of this . If we feel worry about our situation nowadays , what do you God also feel during this hard time situation on Earth?
We have an answer that was given in the bible. in 1 Peter 5:7 : Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
The last line of the bible passage clearly show how God feels especially that we've facing a lot of burdens and problems. He care for us and because he care for us he give us a chance to lift up all our burdens to him through prayers. By doing this, Im sure he will answered all our prayers, not that instant but lets trust him and have faith that he will answer and help us in a right time and in a right way to avoid the worry in our heart and in our minds. The care of the Lord to us now is clearly showing that he is not the reason why we experienced this challenges. It is also a good confirmation coming from the bible
We are really hoping that this bible passage ( 1 Peter 5:7) strengthens your faith and trust to the Lord. While we cant able to visit you yet, you can search our official website and also contact me through this number. If you have a spare time we can do our discussion via phone call. Thank you and take care.
Respectfully yours ;
KC.
Forgive me If I didnt translated it well. I am not good in translating but Im sure you undertands the thought of this letter.
The night before KC gave this letter. My husband and I had a conversation about our financial matters. He asked me if I am already worried about our finances. I love how he trust the Lord about our finances. You can never see him overthinking and asking me about the future. He always told me that God will provide and everytime that I felt worried , God works on our lives. I published an article about that before but there's no comment , it seems that it was overlooked.
Wow. π Good to know KC and you contacted again. Yeah, it's our new way of preaching to people now. Face to face is not safe, so writing a letter is a great option. β€
