昨天教会的周六崇拜非常的特别，是个以宣教为主题的崇拜。在那里，Timothy 和 Guan Rui 弟兄的见证感动了我。神的确爱世人，世界各地的世人，只要我们将心展开于他。
我一向都少许有参阅华语圣经，原因其实是为了要装备我自己，等到机会成熟时，向家人分享福音。他们一向都以华语沟通，参阅华语圣经可以帮助提高我的表达能力，好让我能完全的向他们分享耶稣的爱。昨天我便在想，我不排斥到中国，香港或台湾短宣。中国的人口很多，如果他们也可以听到福音，影响力一定很大。毕竟中国的势力也不断的加强，对这世界也有一定的影响力。
今天发生了一件很奇妙的事。我不寻常的在等巴士的时候不挂上耳机，不读书。当我上到巴士的时候，我微微的听到坐我后面的两个中国人在聊天。其实在新加坡，听到中国人在巴士上聊天是比看到太阳从东边升起更平常的事，可是听到中国人在巴士上传福音可不了。我在巴士上一路仔细的聆听那以非常柔和的声量与坐在他旁边的同乡传福音。他从周日敬拜开始解释，直到神如何创造世界，直到耶稣为世人死在十架上。我听的出那在讲解耶稣的爱的人是多么的有耐心，连我都被打动了。我坐在他们前面当然不好打扰，我便在巴士上为他们祷告。我真的被那弟兄的真诚与信打动了。
我那时想起了这段经节：
彼得前書 3:15
只要心里尊主基督为圣。有人问你们心中盼望的缘由,就要常作准备，以温柔、敬畏的心回答各人...
1Peter 3:15
But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect..
我相信这一定不只是个巧合，神用这弟兄提醒了他对我的爱，也提醒了我要把他的爱宣开来，就从我所在的地方开始。
Today God has brought His promises in Jer 33:3 coming to pass.
Jeremiah 33:3
Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
I have been longing to be in fellowship with God, because it has been few days I did not spend time seeking Him at a quiet place. Today I just force myself out of bed early in the morning, carrying the hunger for the "Holy Communion" with Him.
James 4:8
Come near to God and He will come near to you.
As I prayed, I read His word from the book of John, from John 14 onwards. From the words that were spoken by Jesus in the passages, I felt that there were a lot of times when Jesus revealed His heart to His disciples. It becomes more evident that Jesus revealed His love and plan for His disciples when it comes to John 15 and 16 when He spoke of him being the vine and we, the branches, the Holy Spirit whom the Father gives us and assurance He gave when he was about to leave His followers. The part which touched my heart the most is in John 17, which wrote about Jesus' prayer for himself, His disciples and all believers. I felt that Jesus was praying that personal prayer for me, who is clinging on to Him today.
John 17: 6-19
Jesus prays for His disciples
6"I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 10All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 11I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name—the name you gave me—so that they may be one as we are one. 12While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. 13"I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17Sanctifyb]">[b] them by the truth; your word is truth. 18As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
God's love language for me is His word. I am so overwhelmed when He reveals a thought of His to me. I feel so loved by God when He speaks to me.
Psalm 139: 17
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
If your heart has also turned into a piece of dry land, all you need to do is to spend some time with Him and offer your heart to Him for a work of restoration.
This is my testimony:
Psalm 40
I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth
a hymn of praise to our God.
Spare some time for this "Holy Communion" with Jesus today! :)
