A few days ago I was contacted by a Lee Alumni who has chosen to give to Lee students who have extreme financial need. He had recieved my thank you letter and chosen to respond. Over the course of the past few days we have exchanged prayer requests, brief testimonies, and related to one another's college experiences. On my way to work today I received a phone call from said alumni and got the opportunity to talk to him for a few minutes.
Recently, this alumni has had to deal with his father's passing to Heaven. I truly cannot imagine the pain and sorrow he is experiencing as he accepts the loss of his dear friend and father. These words remained with me throughout my shift today at work:
Alumni: My dad always introduced me as his son and best friend. I miss calling him and sharing what happened to me during the day, and hearing what his day was like.
My heart has been torn for him all day. On my way home from work, the Lord spoke to my heart saying,
"I like to introduce you as My daughter and best friend. I love it when you make time to share what happened in your day, and I relish the rare moments you allow Me to tell you about mine."
I am not sure there is much more that can be said. God has truly ravished my heart. He loves me so much. By the way, have you met my King, my Abba? He is my Best Friend. Oh, how I love Him!
Dear Un-Named Lee Alumni,
I am so thankful for your disclosure. I cannot imagine the sorrow in your heart right now, but I am so grateful that God has allowed us to communicate. Through your loss I have gained insight and revelation in my relationship with the Father. I praise God that you had an earthly father who knew how to show you Heavenly love. May your life continue to impact those around you, and may your life continue to reap the harvest of your father's legacy.
