Loving Dad
This is not a post for killing time or to make a point or to vent out my feelings, on the converse to praise God for what he is to me. He is my loving dad. The following below is actually an email (which i came across while i was deleting the unwanted mails from my sent folder)that I wrote to one of my friends (edited for the post) narrating to her all the experiences I went thro… before my parents consented to get married to my beloved. As my parent’ only problem was we were both in the same choir! And the truth was we were never in terms was most part of the last decade… only recently we decided to get married. But our parents were against it, coz everyone would say probably they were going around for so long.
The email starts here…
God stands beside every decision (when you call on him) as he allows Free will...
When you are serious He too is serious... the lesson I learnt and the long wait is worth it believe me.... Its awesome at the end of the tunnel coz we went thro it ... it was very painful... may be to make us strong in our decision (to love each other) and never take this relationship for granted at any point of time not even in our sleep!... coz we ’ve gone down the drains for it... we fought our flesh and blood for this relationship and heard derogatory things from our OWN ... I was in the verge of being thrown out from my house... my bags were almost packed and thrown... We never lost hope...
Believed God willed it!
Infact so many people including priests said that it is not meant to be that’s why its not happening some even cursed us.... saying your going against Gods will and heading DOOMS day! It’s all scary to hear.... if your fighting people its ok but if you are fighting GOD?! What becomes of us... such confusion I ’ve never been thro' before in my life...
And finally this is the verse that helped me. Rom 11:32
It says that some people were made DISOBEDIENT according to his will so that they may receive his grace.. You have to read the chapter from the beginning to understand.. And I always pictured myself as Israel. Israel was his chosen people and so am I, however they tried to run away from Him, he brought back the lost sheep. This is my belief and prayer
So we are yet to start and miles to go, so… keep praying for us....
All because we want to sing to each other all our life!
