God is interested in you!
ha! i just came home from fee's hall production!it was definitely enjoyable and FUNNY! my goodness! HAHAHAs. the actors and the actressors are talented, some vocally and others in acting ((: isn't God's creation wonderful? He made each and everyone GOOD in some ways! i wonder how much time did God actually spent in writing about us in His book! i bet it's LONG! cos He has got so many things that He wants to give to us! WOW huh?! but again, God also made us such a way that we need to work as a TEAM that everyone, YOU, ME and US have to. and together, we can bring glory to God! for God says in the bible in 1 corinthians 12:21-26::
"21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" 22On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it."
and i believe that this is a key to fee's production's success. ((:i had a eventful day today. went tutoring in the morning and then flag day at jurong east. God is really really really very very interesting! HAHAs. He never let go of any moments which He can use to teach me. while i was walking up and down asking for donations, there's this indian old who was physically dirty and weak, unable to walk. he saw me from a distance, hand-signalling for me to go to him so that he could do a small token of donation. my heart was filled compassion as i see a man like him, so needy yet so giving. and i said God, "Lord, bless this man as he gives!" so i ran towards him and stretched out the tin towards him. he was slow in his action as he tried to reach out to the pocket on his left chest. and as i stood there stretching out that donation tin.. MANY eyes just like suddenly LOOK at me? worst still, there's this uncle who's beside the old man who said many nasty things to me. the more he said, the more my heart felts so pierced. then i began to question God, "Father, am i doing the right thing? should i just walked away?" but somehow i knew that the old man wanted to GIVE very much even though he's in need. so i made a decision to just wait for him while the nasty things just kept coming. finally, "dop" there goes the coin and i offered the old man a sticker. and very quickly, i ran back to my bag area where i reached out for my wallet and quickly ran back to the uncle, blessed him and hugged him. well, i am not here to boast about what i did but what God showed to me. you will find out soon (:i continued walking up and down and around the interchange asking for donations. but guess what? when i returned to the place near where the old man was, the uncle who made nasty remarks came forth and DROPPED COINS INTO MY TIN saying, "其实我不是很想捐钱的。我自己也没有工作。但是我看你刚才对那个uncle那样。。 哎呀。。" and then he went off. wah i tell you, i seriously couldnt take it. my eyes went teary and ya.. took a break and reflected on what had happened. my mind was totally BLANK. i took out my bible but there wasnt a single verse in my mind. so i turned to God and asked Him, "God, what is it that You want to show me today?" my pierced heart is so healed. and i came home reflecting, and i God just reminded me of 2 things mentioned in the bible:1. the two blind men who cried out to Jesus when they heard that He was coming: [Matthew 20:29-30,34] 29As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. 30Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!" 34Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.2. a verse in the bible which says God using the weak to shame the strong: [1 Corinthians 1:27] But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strongand now i just happened to came across this verse in Romans which says:"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express."and i was like stunned. this verse is so true isnt it? i didnt know what i could pray and ask from God when i was reflecting in the afternoon what happened. but now, i can picture it so clearly. i remembered Ps YC led us into a time of praying and thanksgiving that we are able to stand in place of Jesus to bless those people out there. and so interestingly, it happened to me the next day(which is today). i'm like.. oh my gosh. God, You are so interested in me, arent You?!i am totally in awe and felt so honored to be able to stand in place of Jesus to bless that old man. the uncle who said nasty things was like the 'strong man' mentioned in the bible and of course, the weak resembles the old indian man (: but i believe that the uncle's heart was blessed in a way or two. even if i don't know, i know that God knows. He knows it all well. ((: i am really thankful that i am able to bless in place of Jesus and to know that He is interested in me! ((: ((: but definitely, i'm not the only one. God is interested in you too! :D so what are you waiting for? MAI TU LIAO! (dont wait anymore!) starting taking authority in Jesus' name to bless! :D Thank You, Father In Heaven ((:All Glory to You.Amen.Thank You, Lord. ((:
