Happy birthday to one of my dearest friends

Dearest Alan,

Hello! Can’t believe it’s another year already, but I'm believing for a greater year for you!

I've actually made a script for a video for you this year, to be honest, I don't have much time to make a video, haha. Sorry, but I think apart from last year's singing songs to you, I simply want to put God in the Center on your big day this time. (:

Pray that you’ll be in a deeper love with Jesus, that all your thoughts, all your actions, all your speech will be about Him. You might be thinking, “Hey, I’m a cool guy. That’s not the kind of love that I would give God.” But I believe that He desires such intimacy with you. He wants you, simple as that. Truly our life is all about Him. We are made by Him and for Him (Col 1:16), in His image (Gen 1:27). Pray that this will be your desire today. To be all His.

There is none like Him.

Without Him, we are nothing. By Him, we are saved. Through Him, we are alive. In Him, we are found.

He is God. The Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6).

Have a blessed birthday, Alan!!

Am thankful for the friendship we have, thank you for the effort you have put in to maintain this friendship we had, though we are miles apart. Sorry that at times, I tend to forget the value of friendship and became so bad in keeping in touch with you and others. I really thank God for you! As you seek for jobs around, pray that God will open the doors that no man can shut and you will trust in Him with all your heart. God will open that door at His perfect timing, so don't lose heart!

Be patient in the Lord. God is never slow in keeping His promise (2 Pet 3:9).

Be strong. For when you are weak, you are strong (2 Cor 12:10).

Be faithful. God is faithful (Deut 7:9).

Be courageous. You can do all things through Him who gives you strength (Phil 4:13).

Be hope-filled. Nothing can separate us from the love of God (Rom 8:38-39).

With all we have and all we are, let’s choose to give it all to him, for He is worthy of all. Together, we serve a God who is able to do immeasurably more than anything that we can ask or imagine (Eph 3:20). Amen? (: I'll see you soon (and Angel)!



Love,
Tony + God
