Father's Love Letter



My Wounded Heart Has Been Sewn Back
TogetherFebruary 2004

I was just on the phone with my friend. We were talking about how much parents can hurt their children by how they discipline them. I was hurting so much just letting my feelings out. Then I decided to turn the computer on and email my friend. While I was writing to her, I decided to go search for bible verses of the day. Then it had "A ministry of Heartlight..." that caught my attention. But when I saw a letter from the Father that caught my whole attention. I cried throughout the whole reading of the Father's Love Letter and listening to the song Faithful Father and looking at the beautiful pictures of God's creation. This letter really touched me because it lets me know that God can feel my pain and will heal me if I let Him. And that He is the Perfect Father. At first, I felt like my heart was torn. But God led me to read His letter. By the time I was finished, my wounded heart had been sewn back together. Though it's not perfectly the same as before, it will continue to heal as time goes on as I continue to seek God to fulfill his will to the fullest. I encourage you to continue walking the walk talking the talk because you have changed so many lives. This changed me, though I will continue to fall sometimes or most of the time, I know I cannot give up. I will have to get up not give up.

I Found Father's Love In Our Library
I would like to take a few moments to say thank you for the Father's Love Letter. I wanted to let you know how God's love impacted my life.I was talking to the Lord about a specific question I had. I went to our local library to look up some material regarding the question that I asked Him as I was hoping for confirmation of my prayer. I went to go on the Internet on one of the library's many computers. I was surprized to see that the computer I chose had the Father's Love Letter video playing on it. This was the first time that I had ever seen this presentation. I put the headphones on, and I listened to the music as I read each line in the love letter. I began to weep uncontrollably right there in the library, with a bunch of people around me. But I didn't care because I knew that Daddy, Papa God was talking to me. I have always longed for a father that I could call daddy. Jesus is Lord of my life but that day God told me that He was my Daddy, and that He is not mad at me, but is FOR me! There is so much that I could say about this but I will keep it short. I want to evangelize my hometown with this letter. I just know that I will need big quantities of this letter so that my town will know how wonderful Jesus and my Father are.

A Love Story

One day, I woke up early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Ah! The beauty of God’s creation is beyond description. As I watched, I praised God for His beautiful work. As I sat there, I felt the Lord’s presence with me. He asked me, “Do you love Me?” I answered “Of course God! You are my Lord and Savior!”
Then He asked, “If you were physically handicapped, would you still love Me?” I was perplexed, I looked down upon my arms, legs, the rest of my body, and wondered how many things I wouldn’t be able to do, the things that took for granted. And I answered, “It would be tough Lord, but I would still love You.”
Then the Lord said, “If you were blind, would you still love My creation?” How could I love something I without being able to see? Then I thought of all the blind people in the world and how many of them still love God and His creation. So I answered, “It’s hard to think of it Lord, but I would still love You.”
The Lord asked me, “If you were deaf, would you still listen to My Word?” How could I listen to anything being deaf? Then I understood listening to God’s Word isn’t merely using our ears but our hearts. I answered, “It would be tough Lord, but I would listen to Your Word.”
Then the Lord asked, “If you were mute, would you still praise My Name?” How could I praise without a voice? Then it occurred to me, God wants us to sing from our very heart and soul. It never matters what we sound like. And praising God isn’t always with a song, but we are persecuted, we give God praise with our word of thanks. So I answered, “Though I couldn’t physically sing, but I would still praise Your Name.”
And the Lord asked, “Do you really love Me?” With courage and strong conviction, I answered boldly. “Yes Lord! I Love You because You are the One and True God!” I thought I answered well. But God asked, “Then why do you sin?” I answered, “Because I’m only human I’m not perfect.”
“Then why in times of peace do you stray the furthest? Why only in times of trouble do you pray the earnest?” No answer only tears. The Lord continued, “Why only sing at fellowships and retreats? Why seek Me only in times of worship? Why ask things so unfaithfully and selfishly?” The tears continued to roll down my cheeks. “Why are you ashamed of Me? Why are you not spreading the Good News? Why in times of persecution you cry on? Why make excuses when I give opportunities to serve in My Name?” I tried to answer, but there was no answer I could give.
“You are blessed with life, I made not to throw this gift away. I have blessed you with talents to serve, but you continue to turn away. I have revealed My Word to you, but you don’t gain knowledge. I have spoken to you, but your ears were closed. I have shown My blessings to you, but your eyes were turned away. I have sent servants, but you sat idly by as they were pushed away. I have heard your prayers, and I’ve answered them all.”
The Lord asked me, “Do you truly love Me?” I couldn’t answer. How could I? I was embarrassed beyond belief. I had no excuse. What could I say to this, when my heart had cried out loud and the tears had flowed? I said, “Please forgive me Lord. I’m unworthy to be Your child.” The Lord answered, “That is My Grace, My child.” I asked, “Then why do You continue to forgive me? Why do You love me so?”
The Lord answered, “Because you are My creation. You are My child. I’ll never abandon you. When you cry, I’ll have compassion and cry with you. When you shout with joy, I’ll laugh with you. When you’re down, I’ll encourage you. When you fall, I’ll raise you up. When you’re tired, I’ll carry you. I will be with you ‘till the end of days, and I’ll love you forever.”
Never had I cried so hard before. How could I’ve been so cold? How could I’ve hurt God as I had done? I asked Jesus, “How much do You love me?” Jesus answered, “This much” as He stretched His arms when He died on the cross for me. (And you too!)
I then bowed down at the feet of Christ, my Savior. And for the first time, I truly prayed.

I Love You







"I Love You" This what Jesus will always say.He will always be there in times of trouble, though we turn our back on Him but He is always waiting for us and when we turn back to Him His arms is always open to accept us and hug as if we did nothing against Him..How great is that Love....

it's our duty

According to wikipedia.org duty is a term that conveys a sense of moral commitment to someone or something. The moral commitment is the sort that results in action, and it is not a matter of passive feeling or mere recognition. When someone recognizes a duty, they commit themselves to the cause involved without considering the self-interested courses of actions that may have been relevant previously. This is not to suggest that living a life of duty precludes one from the best sort of life, but duty does involve some sacrifice of immediate self-interest.
This video is a story of a young boy whom God gave the cross.His duty is to protect the cross and live a righteous life whatever happens. Watch the video and reflect for yourself..Have you been faithful to the duty God gave you when he died on the cross 2008 years ago?

The Time has Come...

[A must-read article of the soon-to-be pillars of PSALM-ATENEO)
by:Christer Luchavez


When Pharaoh asked Joseph to interpret his dream, Joseph interpreted it just as what God had revealed unto him. There will be 7 plentious years where God will pour out the blessings from heaven so that the storehouses can not anymore accomodate the harvests thereon. And there will also be 7 years of great famine that might smite all the harvests in the land, never before the land have experienced it.

Thus, they commanded to gather together the harvests and store whatever they can to prepare for that great famine to come.

"In todays' era, the Christendom has been plagued and threatened by extrimists, atheists and Islam.
They joined forces to end Christianity and the teachings and bring it into the brink of closure. What a tragedy will it be if they will succeed putting down the Christians all over the world!" True followers of Islam know what is good or bad, they surely will not support the people who have used their faith to bring chaos.

Yes, you have heard it right! Even in the United States, an association dubbed as "Association for the Advancement of Atheism" joined this campaign to eradicate our faith to the risen Savior.

THE TIME HAS COME TO STAND FOR WHAT WE BELIEVED IN!

I reckoned the time when my Father told me, "You have just travelled a few miles, you still have more miles to travel", "get up and walk straightly and never surrender despite of persecutions along our Christian life".

My Father is my teacher, discipler and bestfriend. He raised me up in a way that is pleasing before the eyes of the Almighty. At those times I was involved in various ministries while in school yet my parents never hinder me to continue serving the Lord and just focus academically.

Student leaders of PSALM-ATENEO, I would like to quote my father's statement and address to you that.,"YOU HAVE JUST TRAVELLED A FEW MILES, YOU STILL HAVE MORE MILES TO TRAVEL".

I commend you efforts being the manifestation of your commitment in this ministry. Without you, I firmly believed that we can not bring changes in ateneo just as what happened today.

But on top of everything, you must be sensitive enough that the time is about to come. You will be left behind in carrying the responsibility that God has given me and other departing leaders.
I knew what it feels being burdened by the thought that God called you to continue the race that He has started.

Solomon had it right when he said, "Serving the Lord is weariness of the flesh but the dividends are most rewarding". Yes, we may experience coldness in the ministry and even weariness due to many factors but I want you to carry the thought that God will order everything for you. He will bless you beyond everyone's reach that they will stand in awe seeing the goodness of the Lord in your lives.

Leaders, I am a living testimony of God's greatness and goodness in my life, in my family, endeavors and loved ones. You need not to doubt God's power working in your lives.


The time is about to come, be sensitive to answer God's call.

This ministry will be blessed by God forever.

Today, I would like to pass on to you the beacon! Keep the beacon shining!

PSALM-ATENEO will magnify, glorify and continue to bring honor to the King of kings and the Lord of lords unto eternity.


May God bless you!
