Abba.

Tonight,
I was embraced and cradled in
Perfect Love's arms.

This Love
went to the depths of my heart
and the core of my soul -
it was so deep I could only weep.

And I will never forget this day -
how Perfect Love
poured Himself on me,
the undeserving.

I find what Xin Ying shared very true.
She said that after tonight,
she recalled how people always say,
'Time will heal all.'
But that is so untrue;
Time cannot heal.
Only
One Person can heal.
And that is
Perfect Love.

Our minds know so much;
Like Job who came to a point in his life
where nothing could tame his frustration, he said,

'My eyes have seen all this,
my ears have heard and understood it.
What you know, I also know.

I know God is great.
He is omnipotent.
Who does not know these things?

But I desire to speak to the Almighty,
and to argue my case with Him.'

Again and again,
I say to you,
Knowing of Perfect Love is never enough -
You need to meet Him
and encounter Him;

I cannot comprehend
how sufficient
His grace can be;

how unconditional
His love is;

how powerful
He is;

yes, my mind will never know.

But one thing I know,
that the secret to these
is available to me -
if I step forward and draw near.

Like Job,
I was frustrated,
because I knew much,
but something was missing
and I didn't know what could satisfy me;
I didn't know what could heal me.

I wanted to sing,
but I couldn't.
I wanted to talk to him
like how I usually did
but I couldn't.
I thought,
I've lost him.

but in my anguish and emptiness, I said to him in my heart,

'I don't know what's wrong,
but please do a work
in my heart.
Make it clean,
so I can see you again.'

I hid from him,
but through Carol,
he smiled and that smile
told me,
'Val, come to Abba.
Cos Abba wants to love you.
Abba remembers you.

Then I drew near,
and Perfect Love drew near.

His Love
ran like a river
that burst into my soul and spirit -
it broke something in me,
and I never felt so free.

'It's going to be okay.',
You said.

Yes,
I believe, it is going to be okay -
As long as you never let me go.

And I can sing again,
cos I've found confidence in you.
I never need to be afraid
of being alone.
I never need to fear failure and the future.

With you,
I can be sure,
my path only gets
brighter and brighter.
*

Over the mountains and the sea
Your river runs with love for me

And I will open up my heart
and let the
Healer set me free.

I'm happy to be in the
Truth.

I could sing of your
Love forever.

You gave me love,
and I can see
better days ahead.
