His faithfulness is not about how fast I see my prayers answered. It’s not seeing everything turning around perfectly. It’s not instantly having what I need in my hands. It’s not about having everything I want.

I realize that God’s goodness and love in my life is always present, despite of everything that I don’t see yet. Even in the time of waiting, it’s still present. It is in the meals I share with my family, and the conversations we have. It is in the time I see my father joke with my mother. It is in those precious nights I spend talking with my brother. It is in those little children that smile at me when they see me. It is in the faith of my father when we have almost nothing. It is in the friends that I have. It is in the hope and the messages He tells me whenever I hold the pen when I want to write.

Today, I realized that God’s kindness and love is not limited to what we want. His graciousness is in the hope that keeps on burning whenever every aspect of your life has seemed to gone dank and dark. It is in His love and presence that He makes you feel as the tears dry on your cheeks every night.

Thank You, Father. Thank You for all these. Even in the midst of lack, and great crisis, I find myself falling deeper and deeper in love with You. You’re always there, and You love me. :’>
