Dear Mable,

While we are all truly glad to have you back with us once again after your 2 wks trip back home, words can't express how painful this trip must have been for you. 2 wks ago, you went home feeling excited, bringing along with you lots of gifts for your family. It has been at least 3 years since u last went home and 9 years since u started working for us. Those 2 weeks without u made all of us feel a little empty. Other than the inconvenience of having to do the household chores ourselves, we truly miss your smile, your presence. We were excited to have you back. In fact, we counted down to your arrival. When I saw you at the airport, I was happy. But my heart sank when you said it was quite a sad trip for you. It wasn't something I expected to come out of you.

You couldn't hold your tears when you revealed that you and your husband got separated because he had another woman and a 2 year old daughter. All these while, you have been helping him financially, saving up for your future. Who would have expected? You went home, in the hope of reuniting with him, but came back being single again. It must have been so painful, and this scar would stay with you for a very long time.

But what I want you to know is that God loves you. He hears and feels your pain. He understands your difficulty right now. And I've been praying that you would come to realise His presence and that His peace will heal your pain. Dearest mable, we love you and we hope you will be strong and not lose your will in life. God has an amazing plan for you. You have been a blessing and I want you to know how much our family has been blessed by you. Don't lose the faith okay?

Remember, what hurts you hurts God. You are his precious child.
