During my wk in camp, i had a conversation with sum of my platoon mates about religion.and yes. they are super surprised im from chc. alot of hoohaas there.
Anyway, they were very skeptical about why we do the things we do, and im glad i had the chance to talk to them about it and hopefully change some of their mindset.
Anyway the most impt thing that i actually wanted to mention is that they told me how i noe God is God? Does He speaks to us at all like "HELLO IM GOD."
So I told them my story near 3 yrs back, when I am too doubting whether God is there or not. I had many worries at that time, parental objection, my own struggles. It was my very first experience, i didn't know how, i didn't know wad to do. I just told God this,
"If you're God. Show me."
After awhile, it just started raining. A gentle refreshing rain.
I was happy back then.
Some might say it's coincidence and all, but that day was the day i BELIEVED in a lil thing call FAITH. Back then, im such a young believer, i even rmb it was Howard taking me den, but my faith was the strongest den. I BELIEVE so.
I just wanna tell everybody, that in times of crisis and problems, sometimes all we rly need is to ask God, and believe. I know as people gets older, they grow skeptical of things that they will dismiss off as coincidence. But aren't we a whole lot mature now den we were younger? Have we not experience God more den we did in the past? So why is it so hard to believe now? in this lil thing call faith?
Even now in army, there are many times i will lift my burden up to Him, and when i reached the camp it always somehow settled by itself. When i tink about it, His promises always holds true. We just need to open our eyes and start looking at what He has done for us. So guys, i leave you a verse that i hold firm lately in my heart.
Psalms 15:25
A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
So come on guys, let's continue to get refreshed in this gentle rain of faith, so we will be able to refresh others in our very own way. =) be the vessel of your life.
