15 years. How many 15 years does one have in one's life? We met in the soccer field of St. Stephen's College. Our Fathers... still young, still capable of playing a 90-minute soccer match... introduced us to each other. 我係陳民彧! With such confidence and passion that you still possess today. Passion... although I may seemingly have achieved more when using the standard of our materialistic world, but deep inside I know I... almost envy you in a sense. Because you live with such passion. Such purpose. In the name of religion, You are burning your youth with an unimaginable fire, bringing light and warmth to the people around you. You have found the path to happiness. It was not like I did not have such a chance. But my seemingly logical and rational thinking has confined me for a leap of faith. You have prayed for me numerous times, but it just doesn't seem to have an effect (or a lasting one) on me. God knows. Perhaps it'd take something more for me to make that leap. However, I certainly don't want a cancer cell or broken limbs - would that be a price that I have to pay for my salvation? I know you have been praying, and will continue to pray, for me. Although I am not a believer (yet), I thank you just for that alone. You wish for me to also experience the joy and happiness you have found through Jesus. You wish to share with me that passion and fire you have. Most of all, you wish for my wretched and broken soul to be saved. I am glad we have shared these 15 years together. May there be many more to come. Happy birthday, friend. |
