My assignment to write a blog reflection. The bible said Love
is patient; Love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. The
author Richard, Hay wants us to reflect our heart condition. Are we doing this
for love and in love? 2 weeks ago, I accompanied my father to his doctor
appointment. He was late for work. I lost control of myself, I raised my voice
at him. Later I regret. I asked myself why I am so angry with papa. I care
because I love him very much. I don’t like to see him always late for work
caused people inconveniences. He is seventy-one years old. For his age he should
retired. Actions speaks louder than words. I need to be more patient and impromptu.
Three years ago, my mother had an operation. It was very
stressful for me to cope with my work, studies, visiting my mother in the
hospital and attend my father at home. I was very depressed things were too
overwhelming. When the doctor told my family that my mother’s operation is
failed. My pastors, colleagues and friends keep my mother in prayer. My
colleagues came to visit my mother in the hospital. 1 Corinthians 12:26 if one
member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all
rejoice together. I was very touched by community love and concern. The
community gave me emotional support during these difficult time. I attends
funeral wakes to give support and comfort my friends.
For years I trying to share the gospel to my father. He is
a tradition man. He disliked to hear people talked to him about Jesus. I prayed
and asked God how to reach out to my father when his heart is so harden? There is something can be done. For example, intercessor
prayer. Prayer can move the mountains. I shouldn’t overlooked prayer can change
a person’s heart. My mother received little education. I was astonished to see God
use my mother witnessing to my father. She is bold tell my father, Jesus preserved
her life when she was in the operation theater. My father was speechless, he
knew his gods has no power to save my mother. I sensed God anoints her lip. My
faith begins to increase. My father complaint pains in his legs. I pray a
prayer in his presence. I was trembled inside that he will chase me out. Strange
he did not say a single word. Now I see God can use my mother and me to witness.
God heard our prayer. He is doing a work in my father’s heart. I believe one
day my father will accept Jesus in his life.
