My mom and dad could not wait to see me face to face, they waited for long and excited 9 months. And I was born in the holiday season all over the world, they gave me a beautiful name Olive means peace, for them is a sign of fruitfulness, a joyful blessing for their life. Indeed it was true, my whole life I heard my mom said to me thousand times that since I was at her womb my parents moved to a new place then when I was born I get to ride in their new car on the way home from the hospital. Everything were new for me, many gifts and loved.
My mom and dad always said that I was very smart, they noticed it since I was just a baby. I guessed it’s very true, throughout my school days from primary school to high school my friends knew me as one of the smart kid, they came to me for math, science, chemist etc, for their homework, if they didn’t understand the teacher they came to me and I helped teaching them. I always get a great grade, rank in the class never miss it every semester. When I finished high school, I’ve got called by the best university in my country without I even applied. Praise the Lord.
My childhood was wonderful, my dad bought me every toy that he could buy. Not only a bicycle, he bought me roller blades, he bought me go-cart; a small car usually for a boy, every evening before the sun set I race with it on the road at my neighborhood, other kids were waiting to borrow from me.
When I was 2 years old I have a brother, 2 years after him another brother then another brother and lastly a sister. So far that I can remember my parents love me the most compared to my brothers and sister.
I remember I was 6 years old, that afternoon I played at my friend’s house nearby my house, she is older than me. She has many collection of children comics, I never read a comic book, she let me read and I can bring home too, I was so happy. I didn’t know wether I can read a comic or not so I hid it and my dad found it. I was so scared but he didn’t angry at all. I told him I only borrowed.He left the house with his car, less then an hour he backed with a big box. He called me, told me to open it. When I opened the box I shout happily wow…wow the whole box full of comic books. He was laughing happily too, he didn’t angry, he went and bought comic books to surprise me. He said do not borrow anymore. Every week he came home with big box of more books.I read all Hans Christian Anderson books, Five series and The Secret Seven by Enid Blyton, The Adventures of Tintin by Herge, Asterix by R Goscinny & A Uderzo, Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin…many more. I love reading. As I grow more book I read, my dad keep gave me money to buy … The Hobbit, Around the world in 80 days by Jules Verne, Moby Dick by Herman Melville, The Adventurers of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carol, Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift, The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R.Tolkien, Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, Winnetou by Karl May. Of course all the Marvel books. Many novels and more more books.Never I remembered my dad bought books for my siblings they only read book that I have.
Every birthday my parents invited my friends to come and have a celebration, never failed. My mom is a good tailor, she always made me beautiful princess dress. Once I can’t forget, she made me a long pink lace dress like a little princess at the castle , like stories I read in the book. My dad ordered special birthday cake from the best bakery in town, every kids will get goody bags. When I teenager before my birthday my dad gave me money, he said go and eat with your friends. Even when he already bankrupt and we were poor he always gave me money for my birthday. I didn’t remember he did the same to my siblings. My dad always remember my birthday date not so to my siblings, often he came to me and ask is today my brother birthday? He remembered the month but not the date. I felt so loved and so special.
I was 7 years old, my mom told me to get ready, my dad want to take me watch Disney on ice. We got the front seat, my mom said dad got it from his friend in the government, he wants me to see without others in front of me. Wow!! My dad loves me so much.
My dad was working as a contractor at the palaces, there are more than one palace , in different cities. Saturday was exciting day for me , my dad will take me to the palace, show me around and see where he works, introduce me to his friends. I remembered during school holiday, he had a job at a palace in different city, he took me a long and we stayed in that palace, very big room, just out side my room there was a beautiful pool full of water lily blossom morning and evening. We went out for dinner together just me and dad then back to the castle …. really I was a little princess.
I think I loved the most by my parents.
When I was born again and I told him about Jesus. He quickly showered and went to a prayer meeting I told him, since that day he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior, daily read his bible, didn’t know how many times he changed to a new bible because the previous one the pages were torn ‘cause he read it many many times.
When I wanted to serve the Lord full time, my parents fully supported me, my dad went with me to the ministry place to see the place and the people there. Before he left he asked if I have money.
At the end of his life he wanted to stay with me.
I read many times in the gospel of John, it written 4 times: the discipline whom Jesus loved.
– John 13:23 after washing of the disciple feet, John was leaning on Jesus.
– John 20:2 when Peter and John run to the tomb on the resurrection morning.
– John 21:7 when the disciple went out for fishing after Jesus resurrection and they caught nothing.
– John 21:20 when Peter was asking to Jesus what about this man (John)?
The sentence about the disciple whom Jesus loved is point to John himself as the author of the gospel of John and never mentioned in the other three Mark, Matthew and Luke.John personalize Jesus loves to himself, as he was the only disciple whom Jesus loved. Of course Jesus loved all of His disciples, beyond that Jesus loves all of us, He died on the cross and risen. It is finished.
The same with me, my mom and dad. Of course they loved my siblings. They bought them clothes, shoes, they payed for their studies, all graduated from university and get their master degree as well.
I personalize their love to me, I’m the most loved one, it makes me understand more how deep they love me, what they have done for me to make me a successful and better daughter.How much more our Jesus, what he had finished on the cross He did it with love individually for each one of us.The scripture said for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross…Hebrew 12:2. When He hang on the cross He already look at me, Olive and died as me and I risen with Him. It brings Him joy to see I am save.
As my parents made me their princess, now I am Abba Father’s princess. Yes, Olive is His daughter whom Jesus loved, whom Abba Father’s loved. I’m declaring it every day.
Friends, you are son and daughter whom Jesus loved, whom Abba Father’s loved. Yes you are.
From my heart 2 ur heart
