When I was growing up with Christ initially, I never thought seriously about what it really means to be a Christian. As I look back on my life growing up in Christ after 1 year, it seems awesome as the people around me or in my family - my dearest sister start to know about Christ. Life is full with miracles!!! I still remember when I get my first bible in my life, honestly…I didn’t read it much…HAHA! I thought it was hard for me to understand. It wasn’t until I was starting to grow and experience my life more with our Heavenly Father…I started reading the bible because I want to understand what God is telling me, and what He want me to do. Fortunately I have had some friends help me gain a greater understanding about it. Love you guys!!!
Well, last week was pretty hectic for me. I just realized that one of the most difficult matters to confront with respect to family relationships - I cannot control the entire relationship. Initially, I was trying hard to change the other person. After I failed to calm the situation…I would pray: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change…the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference between “change” and “accept”…I know that God has given me a test - to deal with this problem. In Matt 4:14, Jesus spoke to his disciples, telling them, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and give it to everyone in the house…” God loves the world, that’s why He sent his son to be his light. So, I should reflect his light, thus shine my family. In Phil 2:14-16, “Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life-in order that I did not run or labour for nothing”. I love both of these verses very much!!!
Yesterday was a fantastic and memorable night for me. Ben has been visited to Malaysia again! This time, he even brought us a new friend. We laughed all along the journey…There were a lot of funny things just happened…I have a lot of dreams about Texas now!
The most important thing that I just realized the joy that I have on this special morning - knowing that Jesus Christ has risen and sits this moment at the right hand of His Father, God Almighty !!!
