A Letter To My Longtime Friends VI: Graduation Remembrance

Dear Longtime Friends,

This is your friend and brother Victor. I know it has been a minute since I’ve written to you all last year. Well brothers and sisters, the reason why I am writing to you all is that today is the fifth anniversary of our high school graduation back in May 27, 2006. I am not living in Pastime Paradise [hehehe], I am only just bringing up good memories of the good times and events and how blessed we were back then. That was the time when we were gathered together for one last time. We walked that line with each other, our family, friends, and those who been with us throughout our high school years were sitting in the congregation at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. We were proud that we made it all the way through. Pictures were taken with each other, handshakes were extended to people. And lastly, we bade farewell to each other and all those whom re recognized, and then we parted ways.

My Personal Update:
You are probably wondering what I am doing. Well, I am still at home doing some writing. At times, I do procrastinate. I am still working on a book which I am not finished with yet and I am planning to get it published as soon as possible (A.S.A.P.) whenever I get finished. I don’t know why I like to read and write. It is just a gift from God that He blessed me with. I will remain independent because gaining fame is just a waste of time to me. If I was to become famous, my life would be in an absolute mess. I remember when I was in school; I wanted recognition for every good deed I’ve done; now I am just a humble, distinctive, and a spiritual brother in the Lord. At times, I read my Bible. I am not better than anyone, nor do I condemn people. I am not here on earth to excel people or to please men; I am here to please God. I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Even though I do good deeds in life, it doesn’t make me a “good person” because in the Book of Isaiah in the Holy Bible, you will read that our righteous are as “filthy rags”. All of us are sinners, but we are saved by the Grace of God through Faith and Trust in our Lord Jesus Christ. Though we are in this earthly sinful flesh, the Blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sins. It is just our Faith in Christ that will get us into Heaven. Read the verses below:
*Isaiah 64:6 [King James Version]
“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all out righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade away as a leaf; and out iniquities, like the wind have taken us away.”
*Romans 3:10 [King James Version]
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.”
*Romans 3:23 [King James Version]
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”

The Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
“I want to say thank you for given us days to live and thank you for given us knowledge for our minds. You have always been excellent to us. We love you and we thank you for your gracious mercy. You have always been merciful, even if our lives are sometimes in a mess and good things are not happening. All Glory, Laud, and Honor Belongs To YOU! I thank you for sending your only begotten son Jesus Christ to die on Calvary’s cross for every sin (present, past, and including our future sins). He was scourged and beaten, they spit on him. He was dead for three days and three nights and on the third day, he rose from the grave. He is currently seated at your right hand. His precious antiseptic blood washes away our sins. Anyways Father, I want to say thank you for your Word, thank you for your Holy Spirit and we will continue to give you loads of praise forever. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost! In Jesus’ righteous, precious, superior, holy name I pray,

Amen Forevermore!!!"

*John 14:27 [King James Version]
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
*Colossians 3:15 [King James Version]
“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.”

P.S. I will continue to keep my brothers and sisters in Christ in my prayers. Continue to walk on the narrow path, which it leads to Heaven (eternal life) through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2006 FOREVER!
