happy happy happy

What a wonderful day last Sunday was! I was filled with thanks giving and happiness, because my dad and sister agreed to be present to witness my baptism, and also because a number of church people initiatively approached my dad and sis :) Even on the way home I was still beaming with joy as I received msges from a few youths :) Praise be to God because among many different ways, the love He has is also shown to me through my brothers and sisters, people who really care about my well being and growth.

I thought the youth rally was a success too, though not many believed, but it was clearly evident that night that everyone is slowing moving away from being a spiritual infant to something bigger. Caixia laoshi once said that in our lives, we may never know how many people we bring to Christ, because the seeds that we sow in them may only be harvested many years later.

I had a chance to meet my army friend yesterday. Actually he called me the night before telling me about joining him in a business venture, and asked if we could meet. I would have declined right away, if he hadn’t said “I was a Christian.” I was taken aback because the impression he gave me those days was that he was a stanch Christian, he even quizzed me on the bible. Anyway it was a good opportunity to find out what happened and so I immediately said okay! Haha. Well, we talked for a bit; I let him tell me about his business enterprise, before telling him my real purpose of meeting him, haha, sounds like I wasted his breath. Nearing the end of our conversation, he commented that actually he said wrongly when he told me he wasn’t a Christian. Whether it’s true or not, I hope the conversation had reaffirmed his faith and made him remember why and how he believed in Jesus a long time ago.

A frightening thought occurred to me after this incident. One moment we may seem to be very pious, but if the basis of our faith is established incorrectly, then we may just find ourselves against God one day.

论到那些已经蒙了光照，尝过天恩的滋味，又于圣灵有分，并尝过神善道的滋味，觉悟来世权能的人，若是离弃道理，就不能叫他们从新懊悔了。因为他们把神的儿子重钉十字架，明明地羞辱他。希6:4-6
