I know that this is too early for my daughter to read but I want to engrave this letter for her ahead of time on how much I am so thankful to have her as a daughter. I know for a fact that I was never been a good daughter to my mom but I did try my very best to be one. I failed her most of the time really broke her heart and made her cry at times.
Now that I am a mother, I realize how my mom felt during those times when she could not bear my hard-headed tantrums and self-righteousness as I grew old. One of the many things that I remember my mom made something into my life that changed me deeply enough from my old ways is for her to introduce Jesus to me as my Lord and my personal Savior. Everything changed after that. I feared God and loved HIM but despite that, I still committed sins that made my life hard for me.
I am sharing this with you my daughter to let you know that I have been a stubborn, rebellious child. These did not help me in life rather they gave me burdens and hardships in life. I did not acknowledge the Lord Jesus before not knowing that HE alone is the great source of help and that is the only reason that I live up to this time.
My child, do not follow my steps because these will only make your life harder and will make you fall into temptations that you cannot bear. Remember that without the Lord we are nothing and can do nothing since everything we have is in HIM and only He can save us. I love you my child and follow the life according to the Lord. I remember when I learned that I am conceiving a child inside of me you bring so much joy to me and your dad.
And from that time on I kept on praying about what name I will be giving you. I have read the whole book in the Old Testament way back then but I started reading it again that somehow the LORD will give me insight on what name I will give you. The Lord answered my prayer and led me to 2Samuel 12:25 Jedidiah Meaning: beloved by Jehovah-the name which, by the mouth of Nathan, the Lord gave to Solomon at his birth as a token of the divine favor (2 Sam. 12:25)
I know that the Lord LOVED you so much, that is why HE makes you happen in this world.
I love you, Jedidiah Dominique, you will make a difference in this world...
Happy Birthday!!!
