Blessed!!! =)

Just last week, I was given the opportunity to meet up with the mum of a young gal that I counseled last year. Though we met in the funeral but really I was actually blessed by the 2 nights of conversation with her.

The moment she saw me she said this "WOW! Seeing you again is like seeing a long time friend!"  =) I was so blessed with this statement. As a full- time pastor, most of the people that I hang out with are Christians. It will take extra effort on my part to make new friends who are pre-believers. So, whenever I'm introduce to someone who is yet to be a pre-believer, I'll jump at that opportunity. This mum was one of those opportunity that I jump at. In the midst of counseling her daughter last year, each time I visited them, we got to talk quite a lot of things on life issues. It was a time that I also listen to what she was going through. =) Many people around us actually need a listening ear more than telling them what to do.

She was updating me with what she went through for the past year after she and her family went to KL and settled there. How she went through so much different situations that she felt herself falling into depression. That's when she said that she remembered the conversation that we had when she was in Melaka. She shared how those conversation just helped her walk out of it and now she's able to use them to help others as well - like her friends and workers that were coming to her.

On the first night when we met, while chatting n listening to her - I was constantly whispering a prayer in my heart "Lord, how can I introduce You to her in our conversation? Open the door of opportunity for me." It was on the 2nd night, (which I was actually physically tired n was planning not to go but eventually felt that I needed to just to spend some time with her) she asked me a question "Do you believe that this world will come to an end?" "Who is God's enemy?" I told her, yes I believe that this world will come to an end. But, before I answered her 2nd question, I asked her why did she asked me that question and does the answer really matter to her? Why don't she just take time to get to know the God that created this universe?

Her replied was this "Because this world is now control by the evil one. We are being control by it even without us knowing it." I was like!! WOW!! This is it! Open door for me to share that Christ has come to give us liberty from the evil one..She listen as I shared..I was also able to give her a book the next day as a tool in her hands - for her to get to know more about our Saviour.

Living our life with God is really an exciting one. Sharing Him with others is even more exciting!! Knowing that there are so many others out there who are actually wanting to hear and know about God is even more encouraging!

Let's share at every opportunity given. People are seeking and searching for authenticity and the truth! All we need to do is to discern the leading of the Holy Spirit who knows the hearts and conditions of all men. =)
