The few years of our being together, my Dear, had opened my eyes to what a goodly heart you have. Though, the journey had never been easy all the way, but your firm confidence in the future that lies ahead further gives me the assurance that you’re indeed a blessing from God.
You did not only hope for a better future, but also channelled all and every available resources at your disposal in making the future a reality. This wasn’t borne out of compulsion but rather out of a determined heart that was ready to suffer the trials and afflictions of the present moment for the joy that is to come. Your doggedness in pursuing that which you set your mind to achieve had greatly contributed to how far God has brought us today.
I must confess to you my Dear that I was scared at a point that you might walked out of my life because of the challenges on hand. However, instead of saying goodbye to then ‘poor boy’, you inspired faith in me that quench my fear. You recite in my ears those dreams I’d always shared with you. You helped built confidence in me that through God I can overcome the challenges of life and be all that He wants me to be. You remind me of the many lives that may end up in hell if I gave up. In fact, it was your resilience that stirred up the little strength left in me, but which had greatly increase since by the refreshing of the Holy Spirit.
I believe it wouldn’t be wrong therefore my Dear to believe that you will not cast away this confidence of yours which I know in the future to come would greatly have a recompense of reward. Though this might be a recondite approach to the future that lies ahead, however, I believe with faith and confidence in the word of God, we will overcome in the end.
I know in no distant future, this rallentando tune of hardship will come to an end, giving way to obstreperous shouts of unlimited breakthrough and unending joy. I know there will be matelote on our table to celebrate the new dawn of good tidings that has shined on us, when breakthrough had become matey with our habitation.
I therefore write to you my Dear, that you should let your heart be comforted. Though this desired future had not all materialized, but I hope that you’ll stir up your faith to the acknowledgement of the mystery that lies in this great future that God had in mind for us. Let this fill your heart with assurance and understanding resulting in love towards God, myself, the people of God and especially for the dying sinners that they might come to the knowledge of truth.
I know my Dear, that our worst is over, and our best is yet to come. The world hasn’t seen anything of the demonstration of the greatness and almightiness of God since the beginning of the world. I can assure you that the hardship of these past years had prepared our lives as epistles in which the world shall read, learn and behold the acts of God’s wonder.
Therefore be strong sweetheart. I know you’ve remained true through the thick and thin of the trials of our faith. This confidence of yours is not just in me, but in the greatness and ability of our God who had chosen us for this unusual and peculiar assignment.
Much more than the present, my Love, I trust God that you will not cast away your confidence in Him when He had finally settled us on all sides. This confidence I know has a greater recompense of reward, not just on our future, but our eternity with God.
