I would like to share something from my diary. This is something I always remember whenever I feel lonely. God is not a distant Person who merely governs the universe. He is Someone who knows me and cares for my feelings. He is Someone who can listen even to our simplest prayers.
It was near Valentine’s Day
I was praying to God when I suddenly felt so sad. I felt so lonely. I knew that dreaded day would soon be coming when girls would soon be receiving flowers from their special someone, when they would all go about proudly carrying those flowers, certain of the sincere love of those that offered them. I haven't got any lover though. So no flowers for me, no bouquet, not even a single red rose.
It was a bit embarrassing, but I knew the Lord knew my heart and there was no point in hiding anything. I remained true to my feelings, and I asked God for something I've never asked before. I've asked Him to send me a rose, just one. I don't know how it could possibly happen, but I prayed, like a daughter asking something from her dear father.
