Dear Heavenly Father,

thank You for today. You have been so great and wonderful to me.

I was on the train, on my way home, telling You, "Dear God, feelings of sadness are coming back. Please take them away. I don't want them cos they make me forget Your goodness. Restore onto me the joy of Thy salvation. That is what I want. Fill me with a joy that is no words can express, that is unreasonable."

I got down the train and took a relaxing road home from Admiralty MRT station. I was admiring the sunset and I remembered the sweet story I read about the girl talking to You about the clouds in the sky and how she would talked to You about them. Then I thought to myself, "How wonderful it would be to see a smiley face now. Ha.."

Oh Lord, U put into practice what I read in my QT last night. Psalm 139:1-4 You know my thoughts, actions and speech. You read my thoughts!

Cos the next instance I looked up at the sky, I saw this...


(If one looks carefully, it is a face. A smiling face. A face with a moustache. My hp camera is not good so I cannot capture the magnificence of the picture. You got to take my word for it. The eyes... They are so gentle. I will not be so bold to say that it is the face of God. But one thing I am very sure. It is a smily face. It is not as amatuer as I imagined it to be, like a =) But it is much more than that. It is maginificent. The eyes.. They are the focal point. So gentle, so sparkling. They are complete with eyebrows, 'eye-white' and 'eye-black'. I couldn't take my own eyes off them.)

Oh Father, thank You! Cos once I saw that, indeed I was filled with awe. I particularly stopped in my tracks and stood with my mouth open. I laughed. I ran up the nearest overhead bridge to try to take a good picture of it. No words came to me. This joy in me, no words can express. Even now, after a few hours, I still couldn't find the words to express the joy in me. I just can't. I am in awe.

Oh Father, this is how much You love me. I continued to look at it as I walked home, occassionally taking my eyes off to watch where I was going. It never left. My heart melted when I heard You say, "You wanted something solid to know you are loved. This is it. I love you. Remember the lesson I have been teaching you? 'Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find.' I love you. I will paint the skies for you."

Father, thank You. Thank You. You are just so awesome.

May I never ever forget this day. May I never ever forget how much You love me. May I never ever forget how great You are.

In the sweetest Name of all, Jesus' name,

Amen
