Dear Dear Friend

To be a caregiver, we will embrace all kinds of people. It calls for compassion, wisdom, sensitivity, and a lot of discernment. Hurting people can be irrational and sometimes they may do things that are irrational.

Its not easy to be a caregiver. Whether caring for a child, a hurting friend, an aging parent, or a sick cat/ dog, its calls for alot. Sometimes you care, but the cared for party barked in return. What then do we do? - Keep on loving as it is. Maybe there will come a time for retreating till the other party is more ready, maybe its to press on a little more just so that we may break the wall of isolation.

A disciple-maker is a caregiver in way. We embrace all kinds of people. It calls for compassion and wisdom, sensitivity and a lot of discernment. Disciples can be irrational and may do things that are irrational. Oh Lord, thank you for loving us irrationally!

About J, I remember she told me that its wonderful to have someone believe in you. I forgot what's her exact words but the idea is if you have someone to believe in you, it would inspire you to go for it! I believe in her heart to want to help others.

Hey girl, I trust you ok. I trust you more than many others so I chose you. Just like John 15:16 says, "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit- fuit that will last." God chose me in His love to go and bear frui for Him.

Hope my faith in you is not a burden because my ultimte faith is in God. Times when you let people slip pass you, I know you dont mean to. Just like when let people slipped pass me, I didnt mean to either. God merely let them slipped passed us so that He can hold them Himself. Isnt it beautiful to know that they are all in the Lord's good hand right now.

I know you have your reseverations and fears, but do not let those fears hold back the blessings you could give to others and the blessing you could receive in return. Trust that He would enlarge your capacity to hold many more people in your heart. I really hope to see you fruitful and multiply abundantly.

Be fruitful. Bear good fruits. Fruits that will last. Thank God that we have journeyed together till far and have the same heartbeat for people. We may not see eye to eye on many things (i still rem the tall girffra and the short mouse!), but the heartbeat of God is not to be missed in our lives. Jia You!!!
