Testimony 05/08/05: Photos God Took

I redecorated my room to make it more like home. I rearranged my photos in their frames and put it in sequence on the bench beside my bed.

At night as I sang songs for God, I saw the photos. On the left was my photo when I was just a toddler. The next photo was when I was just 12. Another one was a photo during my 3rd year in junior high. Still another, a photo of my graduation from that school. The next one was a photo of me on my 1st year of senior high, and the last one was my photo in the year of 2000.

Then God spoke to my heart,

"I saw you...
I was with you...
I am watching over you..."

I fell down with my face on the floor, worshipping Him, amazed on how God looked after me even since before I knew Him!

Then I saw in a vision, that as I bow down in my room, more and more photos fell on me from heaven. Photos I never knew I took. Photos that God took!

Photos of me jubilating. "I saw you," He said.

Photos of me soaking my bed with tears. "I was with you," He affirmed.

Photos of me in my secret place with God, photos of me in the open serving Him. "I was watching over you," He wisphered.

I was so touched, even more as God said that my story hasn't end yet. There are still empty frames that God is going to fill. He knows what the photos would be. And I know that God is watching over me... all the way. 'Cos Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).

Next to my bench is a cross. And it bears words so divine.

"The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me,
Your love, O Lord, endures forever..."
Psalm 138:8

So amazing You have named the stars of the deepest night
Still You love me
You have called my name
And I will follow You
