Made a public declaration that I am His forever.

I got baptized TODAY!! YAY!! hurrahs!! The Lord just made today so special for me. First, He showed me that He will always bless me even if I had disappointed Him, with the 8/10 grade I got for a test that I studied with only a 10% effort. Next, He affirmed me of my faith in Him. That He will not let my father go. In faith of the Holy Spirit, I wrote a note to him last night, with Matthew 18:12-13,:-

' "What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.'

I believe God had touched my dad's heart with this very verse. I don't know how I got to read this verse but I'm certain that God had wanted me to tell my dad this verse. I had not expected my dad to even come to my baptism ceremony because he had declared that he would not when I first asked him. I was so worried that my mom would be late and even miss my baptism, and let alone come with my dad!! I was so so touched by God that He really brought my dad to my ceremony. And I was so glad that my dad could witness for himself His daughter being baptized and share her testimony in front of so many people, and I hoped that the Holy Spirit would even have reminded him of his own baptism ceremony many years ago, and more importantly, to remind of him the reason why he made that choice to get baptized. And I'm also so happy that my spiritual sisters ran up to me and gave me such a huge big sunflower, it surprised me so much and I was delighted to receive their love for me. Indeed, God is good for He never lets me down and slowly but surely, He is telling me, that my dad will return as the prodigal son to His father.
