I Just Wanted To Say 3 Words

Dear Heavenly Father, allow me with utmost solemnity to say this to You. From the bottom of my heart. Not imagining you to be real. Not imagining that you are hearing me. But believing. Believing on blind simple faith that at this very moment, you are hearing my words in real time:

Heavenly Father, the most powerful Man on earth and the most powerful Spirit on earth,
   who sits across from me now, listening in real time as i speak,
Who has created me and nurtured me from the time i was in my mother's womb,
   Who has guided me and shielded me from wicked men as I grew up.
Who has protected me from harm and serious illness my whole life.

   Who even ran alongside me when I was alone in the 10k marathons in MOA and The Fort,
Who made sure my feet did not give way that I might stumble and hurt myself under the blazing sun.
   Who happily accompanied me whenever i went to the mall alone,
Who even brought me before that kiosk of PS3's in SM Annex, and showed me the graphics it can do!

   Who sat beside me every day while I was in the hospital with Dengue Fever.

Who let me experience with my eyes and heart the worst that man is capable of,
   If only to strengthen me that I may not be shocked when trials come.
Who let me experience having an abundance of money, as well as losing ALL of my money,
   To prove that He would still feed me regardless of my situation.

Who has blessed me with all that I can do,
   And even all that I cannot do no matter how hard I try.
Who stuck by me even during times that I had completely lost faith & hope in myself,
    Gently urging me through others to just keep my eyes on Him.

Who introduced me to The Sims 2, to show me how easy it is to mistakenly ruin my sims' lives,
    If only to prove to me that even I, am His one Sim, whom He will nurture and never forsake,
Even if He is doing the same for 6 billion other Sims in the world,
    Who has carefully handpicked all the Sims I would meet in my life,
My enemies, my family, my friends, all of whom I love and am thankful for,
    Who, not being content with that, decided to become a Sim Himself,
That I may have someone recognizable to be my friend and to show me the way.

Who, after this day filled with anger and resentment and frustration with myself,
    Gently took me by the hand, and showed me all the things He has been to me throughout my life,

That I may write some of them here tonight for someone to read,
   and brighten someone else's day, even just a little.

Having said all this, what then do I have to say to You?
    You who have been more than a father, a mother, a lover, or a friend could ever be to me?
What else is there left to say but that which is always the hardest,
    What I could never say to You before with as much honesty and meaning as I have tonight:

          I Love You.
