The wise man built his house upon the rock. We need to build our life on God.

Dearest Albert and Alfred,

May God. our Almighty, Loving and Caring Father, shower his blessings abundantly upon you. Your mommy's love and blessings are always with you.

Do you remember the song "The wise man built his house upon the rock" that we used to sing when you were very small. The lyrics of the song is shown below.

The wise man built his house upon the Rock

The wise man built his house upon the Rock,
The wise man built his house upon the Rock,
The wise man built his house upon the Rock,
And the rains came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
But the house on the Rock stood firm.
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
And the rains came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
And the house on the sand fell flat.


So build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
So build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
So build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
And the blessings will come down.
The blessings come down as your prayers go up,
The blessings come down as your prayers go up,
The blessings come down as your prayers go up,
So build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ.

 
Link to song - Wise man built his house upon the rock.

I like this song that children are taught when they are very small. What a nice way the wise composer of the song makes the children realize that the very foundation of the beautiful life that God has given us has to be built on God. The song is based on the parable by Jesus Christ in Mathew 7: 24-27
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

We need to have a very strong foundation in our life - a foundation that is built on God, our Creator, our Almighty Father. Then, no matter what storm comes up in our life, God will protect us from the storm, God will guide us gently, God will make us stronger and courageous with every single storm in life that we face. Remember, when we are going through the storms, God is carrying us. All we have to do is to cling on Him, trust Him, love and honor Him and obey His commandments, no matter how fierce the storm we face is. God will be faithful to us, when we are faithful to Him. Storms in life are probably our tests, so God can see for himself that we are His beloved children and obey his principles because we love and honor Him. We will face all our storms in life with a smile as we know that God, our Loving, Caring and Almighty Father is always beside us guiding us and protecting us.

Do your best, God will do the rest.

God blessed me abundantly by giving me the best parents and best teachers, who gave me a very good foundation - a foundation built on God and his principles. I am very thankful to God for giving me such a beautiful childhood and early life that I can never complain to God when I was suddenly hit by the worst storms of my life - being deceptively separated from both of you, my precious children and every single material thing I had was deceptively taken away from me by the person who I thought would protect both of you and me. However, nobody can take the strong foundation that my parents and teachers had instilled in me as a child - my Loving and Caring God, in whom I completely trust. That is what I want for you too, a very strong foundation in God, so no matter what you have to face in life ( I really wish you would not have to face any more storms, but I assure you that storms do make you stronger, if you are faithful to God ), you know that God is always in you guiding you and around you guarding you.

The storms that unexpectedly and suddenly hit my life was extremely bad. I wished many times that I was dreaming a nightmare and that I would wake up and everything would be fine and you both would be with me. Sadly, that was not the case. I was living the nightmare. I realized that through all the storms and floods that I had to face and am facing, God is with me and will never leave me. God has been my biggest cheer leader. He raises me up, every time, I have been tripped by impure actions of impure people. God reminds me that every single storm I have to face makes me stronger and to completely trust Him. God always puts back the smile on my face. I absolutely love Him, trust Him and honor Him. We have to love, honor, obey and respect God in our good times, so when we have to suddenly face bad times, we already have a very strong foundation in God. God will always be with us and nobody can steal or take away the God in you and around you. So, it is very important to have God, our Loving, Caring, Almighty Father, our Guide and our Guard, to be our foundation.

Every single person will face trials in life, but a good person gets better and a bad person gets bitter with every single trial they face.

My precious children, build your life on God. Study well, that is one of your main role as children. Take good care of your health. Eat only clean, healthy food. Remember, you are what you eat.
Think good thoughts and make the right choices in accordance to God's principles. Remember, you are what you think. There are few impure people , whom you should watch out for and not fall into their traps. I learnt this very late in life, as God had always surrounded me with good people. Have good moral values yourself, be your twin brother's best friend. Choose friends with good moral values. You could get into trouble by choosing the wrong friends.

Most important, is to build a strong relationship with God, who is in you. Read the Holy Books, the Holy Bible, read the book of Proverbs, Gospels from the Holy Bible. Read a few verses a day. It will help you choose right from wrong. In every single thing you think, in every single choice you make, in every single thing you do, make choices that will honor God, that is in line with his principles, ask God to be with you and he will be with you. I always pray that God is with you all the time to guide you and guard you. During the good times and the bad times, He will never leave your side and He will see that you get stronger with every experience you face, because He loves you, His favorite children.

God, our Heavenly Father, who loves us and watches over us and protects us  and who is always with us and in us will surely reunite you and me.
I love you and will always love you.
Almighty God and beautiful nature are carrying my love, warm hugs and sweet kisses to both of you, my precious children.

May Almighty God be the foundation of your lives.
 
God's blessing and your mommy's blessings are always with you.

With lots of love, hugs, prayers and blessings,
Your loving mommy,
Bindu Philips

Dearest Alfred and Albert,
Wishing you a Happy and Blessed New Year.
May God bless you.
Your mommy's prayers, love and blessings are always with you.
Please take care of each other and be each other's best friend.
Study well. Do your best. Take part in games.
I wish we were living together as we used too.
I went to church and prayed for you both.
Your friends are doing well and ask about you. 
I teach one of friends math when he has doubts.
You used to be very good at math too.

Verse from the Holy Bible for your mommy and parents.
If you have sons, educate them. Teach them self-discipline while they are young.

Verse from the Holy Bible.

My son, learn to value Wisdom while you are young, and you will still be able to find her when you grow old. Work as hard to find Wisdom as a farmer works to plough and sow his fields; then you can expect a good harvest. You will have to work at it for a while, but you will soon be enjoying what you have earned.

God will surely reunite us.

With lots of love, hugs, prayers and blessings,
Your loving mommy,
Bindu Philips
