It's been a great discovery day, just even I have just passed the mid of the day. =)
While was the way to school, taking bus 961, saw someone took out a book, that is. "the stones cry out!"
So, I was looking and saw this chapter, reminding me of what Jackie Pullinger has said, "Remember the poor".
Has we lost what she has told us?
I was reflecting upon it today. Lots of words come to me.
What have I done to serve the poor, like what the book has said?
Have I does like the same like.. Paul? =) And the Koreans has actually seen it rather as a burden, a common joy because it'd indeed a joy to serve the Lord. Others may not see it, but I believe there's are a lot within the story.
Small scale only focus onto Koreans, but look at it at God's view, which is looking it as a whole world and the whole nation.
Galatian 2: 9-10
James, Peter and John, those reputed to be pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recogniszed the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, ad they to the jews. All that they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
I believe all of us, as a Christians have a common burden, like Paul and Barnabas and all the forefathers, that is "Remember the Poor". Thanks be to God who has always given us grace, allows and give us time to allow us to say "no" to His work, and we are often given choice to choose.
I was talking to Juliee's 12( one of the most ra-ra gals) about Koreans who went abroad to spead the world. Thank God for them, because they has actually chose to be the connectors of the people who are there. The pastor was killed. Yes, but with each death, something that does means a lot for us, has actually stirred the hearts of the kidnappers and the people in the country. Unknowingly, he has actually planted a seed into their hearts. people has been looking, it will not be the international group saving them, but the people of their very own country. God has actually opened the eyes of the people, because I only speak of one thing about the kidnappers but people around (like people in Crush, who is more mature than me, haha.. =) said it has actually stirred the hearts of the poor. It's so true.
Another thing is, we are all worried for them, afraid that they will be killed, anytime. True, but what can we do? we can only pray and believe.
Words and words are against the group of Koreans to go to the dangerous country, yet, they still went with great faith, knowing God will protect them. With such huge faith, they can actually "graduated" from Earth le. But God wanted to use them to prove the world something else. God will use them like Moses, of course instead of splitting the sea, while on the same time, knowing that God can do things in split seconds, God will turn bad situation into miracles, testimonies to the world. I really admired their attitudes, it's like, if they die, they die.
“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”- Matthew 5:14,16
Attracting all the cities to see Him, telling the people in the world, and soon there will be revival and it's very near wor! =) Like Hosanna was sang to be. =) The Light is shining, none can hide its light from shinning through all darkness. Certainly it speaks of the very present situation the Koreans are in.
God uses people greatly, as long as people believe in Him. =)
Everything within the country is weak, but the Spirit is burning within the hearts of people, within the nation and the world. =)
Praise God. =)
