"Do not let your heart be troubled. Trust in God , trust also in me." (John 14:1)

Sometimes I felt spiritually dried. My spirit did not seem to sense God's presence. I did not ask God to revealed to me as I am not used to doing that.

However, during Wednesday morning devotion, when I told my colleagues about how I witnessed God preserved a man's life, I could not help but kept tearing as I shared. This is because I have seen how God  works in this young man who is 21 year old. After hearing the sharing, my colleague said this indeed was a God's divine appointment that I did the home visit on tuesday evening. It was God who sent me there, to talk to this young man to stop him from doing silly thing. I arranged the home visit only through his mother. I was not informed by any officer or his aunt that I must do the home visit. On that day, the young man had already prepared two letters, one for his mother and the other for his girlfriend. Another amazing thing was, I did not have the intention to bring my new bible, which was given to me by my mentor. However, I handed the bible to this young man as he did not mind reading the bible. During the sharing, I encouraged him to read it in order to understand who this God is.

On Wednesday afternoon, another client told me that she started to read the English bible on her own. She realised she could not solve her marital problem by her own wisdom. Interestingly, she (a China National) humbled herself and wanted to find help from God. She prayed to God and finally she got to attend a church a few times. She sensed that Christians are different from people of different faiths. She mentioned before she left the centre that "the more she reads the bible, the more she believes in what it says." This reminded me of Jesus quote "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6). She requestd a Chinise bible from me before she left.

Today when talking to the 3rd client on the phone, she told me she finally realised no man could help her overcome her problem. She had chosen to turn to God and attended church service regularly. She started to get to know this God. She was feeling spiritually weak for past few days and had not been reading the bible or had devotion. However, she confessed that today's call was God planned so that she was encouraged and she gave glory to God.

I cannot help but to share these three events that happened on Tuesday, Wednesday and today. God has revealed His love and grace to the people whom he loves.  

Lord, help me to trust in you at all times. Do not let my heart be troubled.

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?" Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

Many a times, we hope that we can really experience God by seeing Him, sensing Him or hearing Him in our daily life. It's hard to believe in a God whom we only know in our mind. We wish to have the real experience of Him.

Seeing a miracle, or hearing God speaks will make us believe in Him? 

Jesus said to the crowd whom he had fed and saw the miracle (John 6:1-24, Jesus feeds the five thousand), "you have seen me and still you do not believe" (John 6:36). Yes, we can see miracles, however, will these make us believe in Jesus? Believing is putting our trust in Jesus by commiting our heart, our mind and our strength to Him and it is demonstrated through our action. We want to give our best to Him.

Some young persons have shown their faith by believing that God will help them to do well in the things they have set their mind on. They want to give God the glory. During the process, they might face difficulties, yet they do not give up, they  try again and ask God for strength to complete the task. What they have in mind is to do it well for God, and not for man. They give all glory to God for seeing them through. 

We live by faith, and not by sight. When we believe in God, our heart must be there.     

箴言3：5－6

常常有自己的想法，自己的喜好，自己的判断，也有别人的建议，别人的看法，但是我感谢祢在我作选择和决定之前，总是会提醒我要专心仰赖祢，不可依靠自己的聪明，在我一切所行的事上都要认定祢，祢必指引我的路（箴3：5－6），以致使我记得要来到祢的面前。

在人生里面需要作很多的选择和决定，别人的选择，不一定我也要跟着作同样的选择。别人所看为好的，也不一定就是祢要我走的路。重要的是明白祢在我身上的带领。

什么时候祢要我走，我不能停。什么时候祢要我停，我就不能走。看起来似乎没有了我的自由，其实，那才不呢！天父，我可是用了我的自由选择了跟随祢的引领哦！因为祢是那位“以智慧立地，以聪明定天，以知识使深渊裂开，使天空滴下甘露”的神哦！（箴3：19－20）

就算我选择顺服祢也没有什么可夸的，因为是祢先向我彰显祢的爱，是祢以信实待我，帮助了我能够选择顺服祢，这可是人生里面所作的最上好的选择哦！天父，谢谢祢！
