My love, mommy will always be with you in your heart - but I won't always be there to walk beside you and in life you will need to make some hard decisions. Who am I? How do I want to lead my life? What do I believe? My son, mommy wants you to know a couple of things that I have learnt in my life. Some have been passed down from your grandparents, my faith and from some really stupid decisions and good choices. Baby, remember:
1) God will never leave you, nor forsake you. Don't however abuse his grace and think you can whatever you want and you can just ask for forgiveness - it doesn't work that way. Give your heart to Him and follow Him. He loves you more than you know!
2)There is no mistake/bad decision, that you can't recover from. That doesn't mean you won't have to face the consequences, but life goes on and your tomorrow can still be brilliant, even if it looks different from what you initially thought.
3) Drugs, alcohol and porn are bad for you. Both mommy and daddy has made some really bad choices and we have hurt each and ourselves because of it. My love, you need to decide what kinds of activities are okay with you. If it changes you into someone that does bad things or things that you are ashamed of, then its probably not good for you. If you find yourself in a situation where you become an addict. Seek God and get help. Counsellors are just friends who know how to help.
4) Guard your heart and body. Don't sleep around. You are incredibly special and amazing. When you decide to have sex with somebody, its because you love each other and respect each other. When you have a lot partners, you will lose a little bit of yourself every time until you don't feel much for the person you are sleeping with anymore and then you might miss out on being able to recognise the partner that God has created for you.
5) Condoms will protect you from HIV, but not other STDS.
6) Surround yourself with good people. Who you hang out with, will influence who you are and what you do. People who sit on their bums and don't work towards their goals are losers. You my son, are not a loser. Surround yourself with people who will inspire you and encourage you and very importantly be honest with you. They may not get everything right, but people who love you will push you forward instead of holding you back.
7) You are in charge of your own life. Noone is going to come and just hand over things to you. You want to be happy and successful? Decide what that looks like, draw up a plan and what you will need to achieve it and GO FOR IT. You never know unless you try!
8) Love yourself and those around you. Treat everyone well. When God is in your heart, you know how to love others because God is Love.
1 Corinthians 13
I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.If I give away all I have, and if deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient and kind;love does not envy or boast;it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away;as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I become a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
9) Actions speak louder than words. If people treat you badly, then they don't love you or perhaps they just don't you enough. Forgive them and take a step back from them. Its important to give people chances, but be wise as to how many and with who.
10) Be careful with other people's hearts, my love. Only say you love someone when you mean it. And when someone treats yours badly, pray about what to do. Try everything you can to heal and restore a relationship/marriage - and when everything is done and its just to broken to put back together- walk away knowing that you did everything you could.
11) The world is filled with pain and misery. People do bad things. Be the difference you want to see in the world.
12) Take calculated risks. Travel the world. Tell the people you love, you love them. Educate yourself as much as possible. You only live once, live your life.
Remember my love...
It doesn't matter what you may have done or said,
you will always be my son.
I will always be proud of you
I will always believe in you
I will always love you
