Living My Life For God

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.

My father asked me a tough question. Can your God drop money down from heaven? He strongly objects to tithing. But that would not stop me from giving. I trust God’s provision as I do my part be a good steward. I took four modules for second semester. It was very challenging because I have to pay my utility bills and fees for school retreat. I wanted to give up going the retreat. To my surprised someone sponsored my trip. Recently, I was having back pains that caused me not able to walk and sleep so I decided to invest a haversack bag that cost $89.10 after discounts. I was so surprised my mother bless me the bag. This lessons taught me to give generously to the mission program or any needy people. Whatever I do I do it for the glory of God. Amen
