To Heidi, the second love of my life on the 9th anniversary
December 21, 2008
I still remember nine years ago, when I held
your hand low
My whole body was sweating, my both hands also
Before two pastors and almighty God we said:
“I do”
Many people witnessed it, still wondering
all who?
The Lord has been faithful all these years to
us
Teaching to trust just Him alone, alas
During the first years I made you cry quite
often
But over the years the Lord has my heart
graciously soften
Still I do not love you as our Lord does
love us
But His sanctifying grace is changing us
quite much
Now forgive me when I am inconsiderate
towards you
Even I said nine years ago: “do you love her?”
I do!
The same God that justified us years ago
Is still transforming our marriage to His Son so
You take care of our children so well
And will not them to the world sell
Last year we learnt that it is difficult to have time just between us
because you cannot buy it with money
But still you are ready to give yourself to
me, sweeter than honey
You gladly show subordinate spirit towards
me
Even the culture yells at us against it, as
we see
Just grow to fear the Lord, not anyone else,
not any dummy
And that gives you the most satisfying joy
to labor as a mommy
When you cast the burdens on Him alone
The most glorified is He in you, and gives
you “shalom”
Find your treasure alone in the cross
whether sick, bountiful, depressed, or sore
Then your life becomes “suffering but always
rejoicing” more
May Jesus convict me and show the error of
my tone
So that we would reflect brighter His free
sovereign grace alone
He put us together to refract Christ and the
church, His bride
For whom he painfully, obediently, yet
gladly died
Jesus gave His life to bring glory to His
heavenly Father
and to bring us back to God, who is more satisfying
than any other rather
Happy 9th Anniversary, the second love of my life
Pray that God keeps Christ as my first love,
and not number five
