“I want to pick you up
each time you fall, I want to cheer you up each time you frown, I want to ease
you each time you’re stressed, I want to calm you down each time you flare up,
I want to clear out your mind from bugs when you think that people are against
you…”
“I intend to teach you
the wisdom that you need when loads are heavy, I intend to make you feel that I
am just here in support of the good things that you do, I intend to save you
from committing mistakes when you think you seem so right…”
“…BUT, your reactions,
your ways of thinking and ways of feeling never allow me. Your justifications
keep on pushing me away. Your
self-centered beliefs has created the wall that hinders you from seeing and
from realizing -- that all that I intended, and all that I wanted is to help
you become the person that God wants you to be.”
“Nevertheless, how I
still wanted to give you a hug just for you to know that things will soon be
fine and for you to feel that despite the pain that you’ve inflicted in me
because most of the time you misunderstood me, still, I will keep on searching for
ways ‘till you eventually understand, because I know, deep within my heart that
YOU ARE A WORK IN PROGRESS.”
“There may be times
when I will have to keep distance, to give you the chance to listen to my
silence and make you look within, hoping that you would grab the opportunity to
reflect on things and to see the difference when you decide to also look up and
ask if I would still be back so that you could cope and make up.”
“This is never easy,
but because the Holy Spirit keeps on working in me, I will also never give up
on you, my child…’till that day you’ll eventually let go of your pride and let
your FAITH in God lead you closer to Him
.”
These lines, I have personally
composed for my kids and for the youths of today’s time. I am pretty sure that
most parents would also want to boost these lines to their kids, specially
those who feel the intensity of manifesting the love when we forgive despite
the pain and in never giving up, notwithstanding the difficulty through the force
of the Holy Spirit for the purpose of building a “church” in every child.
In recollection, I have
several times told my students that such “church” is actually our “personal
relationship with Jesus”. I personally feel that we should be channels of this
personal relationship which we could sample-out to our kids so that they may
witness for themselves the difference of a life in God.#
