God's heart

Recently, my heart is quite burdened by the pple around me, who were suffering under the exams stress. Just now while I was praying for them, I cried. I guess, I finally have a sense of how much pain God felt when He sees people who are lost, who are helpless, who are weak, and who have not known Him yet.

I asked God what I can do for them and I felt God's prompting in my heart. Do I love only when it is convenient (e.g. to my housemates coz they are near and within easy reach)? If reaching out to these people means sacrifises, am I willing to do so?

Then I remembered a blog entry that I post in early Oct about 'A Second Chance'. In that entry, I thanked God for giving me an opportunity to live a life as a student for Him again and I said I am going to do things for God. So now is God's calling for me to work.

I have given a copy of "Case for Christ" to a classmate to help her in her search for God. I also plan to visit another friend of mine who has been burdened by the exams and hope I could pray with her. I know the most powerful source of comfort is God's Word and people need Him. People need Him desperately.

If you ask me whether I am worried about the exams too, I would say yes sometimes. Studies is important to me. But I know, bringing people to God is more meaningful and if that's the purpose of Him putting me in London and putting these people around me, I am willing to learn to work with Him. I am thankful for the opportunity to partner with Him.

Brothers and sisters, pls pray for me. For courage, wisdom and protection. For a sensitive spirit to know the needs of people and let God work through me. Pray that God opens their hearts. It's God's work and may all glory be unto Him.
