My Heavenly Father,
24 years ago, You brought me forth from my mother’s womb. I didn’t know my true purpose of coming to this world until I knew You. 20 months
ago, You led me to the United States without knowing my true purpose of
coming to this country, but You loved me before I even knew Your name.
I came from a non‐Christian family in Shanghai China. I didn’t have any
Christian friends and never heard of Your Gospel. Marvelously, You sent me
to a Christian family when I first arrived. Since then, my life was filled with
You. I experienced Your love for the first time through the unconditional
kindness from James and Taili. I was deeply impressed by their love and
wisdom. When I began to read the Bible, I found that all the ultimate
questions that I had been thinking of since my childhood were answered,
and You foresaw what I want to ask. Because You perceive my thoughts
from afar, You know them completely. You let the Holy Spirit work in my
heart so that I can hear what You say. It was Your people and Your words
that inspired me to seek You seriously. 6 months later, I made the most
important decision in my life; I accepted Your son, Jesus Christ, as my
personal savior.
I had always been enjoying a prosperous life since I was born. I’m the
only child in my family. My parents always give me their love and attention.
On the outside, I appeared tough, but I didn’t realize on the inside how
fragile I was. You know that the first two months of this year were hard for
me. I didn’t share my sadness with my parents because I didn’t want to
worry them. I pretended to be fine in front of my friends because I didn’t
want to show my weakness. Every night of suffering, You are close to Your
heartbroken daughter, You know all my sorrows and pains. Only in Your

arms could I release my frustration and honest humble cry. I had no
complaints, because I knew You were preparing me to be Your instrument.
One afternoon, You gave me a dream, wherein Your will was clearly
revealed to me. I saw myself pulling thorns out of my hands in my dream.
Right after I woke up, with my Bible lay open next to me, the scripture on
that opened page jumped out at me. 2 Corinthians 12:7: ”To keep me from
becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there
was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.” I
didn’t know for sure what Paul’s thorn was, but I did know, the thorn in my
flesh was the weakness of my faith. Through my dream, You encouraged
me to remove it, and allowed me to become strong and courageous against
Satan’s attacks. Though my situation remains unchanged, I am certain that
You have a perfect plan for me. Your Word assures me. All my days are
written in Your book.
Father, thank You for your love and grace which have saved me. My
experiences with You testify that every single word in Your love letter is
true. Please teach me, mode me, prepare me, and mightily use me to lead
other lost sheep to know you and accept you. Let me bear more, so that I
can be strong enough to bear Your kingdom. You are my only purpose in
life. You are the only way to eternity.
Love You Forever,
Your daughter
