because You love me

Thank God because He knows my needs more than I know them myself. I've been so tired of late that I've been missing my bus stops and falling asleep while having breakfast. Someone told me recently that "你整天不在家,家人怎么会信主?" On the one hand I recall chuandao saying "年轻时要把最好的献给神", on the other hand I realize my parents really see very little of me, which defeats the purpose of not staying in hall in the first place.

Just last week God assured me by sending "angels" to pray for me. It seemed random when it happened initially but as I reflect on the past week, how on each occasion whether I bumped into, had lunch with or talked over the phone with my friends in school, they ended praying for me. I'm really thankful because God knows that I need assurance especially during this uncertain and busy period, and He gave it to me through His children. And I'm also thankful for others who, unknown to me, are also keeping me in prayers. I'm thankful because God knows that I fall asleep before saying amen lately and extends my prayers by having brothers and sisters say them out before me. I'm thankful because God reminded me the importance of being prayerful continually, and not to forget the purpose of why I'm investing my time and effort. As much as I may try to complain behind Your back even though I know You always hear me, I guess in the end its like what Evan Almighty says, "You do everything because You love me."

"God's work, done God's way, will never lack God's supply."(Hudson Taylor) A senior in school encouraged me with this phrase, and as of now I'm still grappling to believe this statement. I guess only those who have indeed experienced God's providence in the most unduly circumstances can they relate this statement to another, and believe what they are saying.

在指望中有喜乐,在患难中要忍耐;祷告要恒切。罗12:12
