=p Being Blessed By Them
My brother, Matthias’s prayer last night:“Dear Father in heaven, thank You that You help me find my wallet and ez-link card. I am very lucky because my teacher says not many people can find their ez-card back. Thank You so much. You are very clever. In Jesus’s Name I pray, Amen
(My dear friend’s first public prayer) Elaine’s prayer e last Bible study:
“Dear Father in heaven, thank You that You are in my life and You will change me. Sorry for what I have done, for being impatient, silly and everything. Thank You for the strong Holy Spirit in me. Thank You for Dawn, Jacqueline and everyone. In Lord Jesus’s Name I pray, Amen.
A recent account: I prayed for this dear p4 boy and God answers prayers-
“Dawn, I have decided to become a Christian and go to church. Don’t tell my grandmother and uncle. I am going to throw away this Buddhist charm.”-the boy
“How about I bring you to church?”-Dawn
“Will you tell my Uncle?”-the boy
“Of course not!”-Dawn
“=P (Grins) Ok”
Jacqueline’s little encounter with God =p (Grins) She is 3 weeks old Christian.“I never knew it last time but now, I feel like God speaks to me. Whenever I am in church, even if I am tired but I feel like crying. When they asked who wants to believe in Jesus, I didn’t want to put up my hand but something in me says “since you come all the way here, why don’t you?” If I ignore the voice, I feel so uneasy. I think it’s must be God.”
Dear sis, Ling Li ‘s SMS.“Dinner on the house, See you for Bible study this Friday.” (This dear sis has been blessing me with her mom’s home-cook food every bible study. So touched and blessed by her and her mother. =P) =P Thank you so much all of you and some I didn’t mention~ my heart is so blessed by those young and little ones in God’s kingdom.
Let me journey on with God and others in His love. It is ok that it gets tough and sometimes, people leave you. It is ok that sometimes people forget about you or is nasty to you because loving others is also accepting him/her in all kinds of situations. I have learnt ‘acceptance’ this year. It is a big word for me because accepting is simply loving the person~ he/her within. Not what he/she can do or will do, whether he/she love/like you, whether he/she impresses you or not and even those times when he/she makes so many mistakes and dragged you into it. You still love, and not an inch in your heart feels any hatred or anger. You always choose to forgive, accept and believe in him/her again. Seeing Christ in him/her and appreciating the goodness in him/her. It may seems silly and even like a doormat but look @ this verse ya?
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast. It is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres.”-1 Corinthians 13
Beautiful isn’t it?
Hey my dear friend, Hm. Even though we might not see or talk to each other. But, you are a dear friend to me always =P I will be sooooooo happy when you finally graduate~ think I will cry…haha… I know it’s your dream to be in a graduation gown. Will be so proud of you and thank God!!!! Hey, you know that God has given you a great purpose in both your work and studies…Jia You and don’t lose sight. Will always be praying for you ya? As time goes by, I just simply see the person in you~ simple and pure-hearted. Don’t be someone else but just be you. Being you is good enough =P. It is not by what we can do, if we have a credit card or a car, if we impressed someone or how people looked at us-but be ourselves.
I want the best for you and you take care, big elephant. =P
Loves,
Dawn
