A fruitful day

Gospel sharing can happen anywhere, any time, any location. It happens especially when you least expected it. All praises and honor to God, I shared the gospel to a friend of mine. My little friend bugged me last night after I went home so we had a light chat on the phone, which was kinda superficial (I feel bad) cos I couldn’t wait to go to bed after a night’s bowling game which made me tired. But anyway thank God for the opportunity. I couldn’t have felt happier.

I couldn’t exactly recall how our conversation ended up into evangelism, but I remembered it was something like this: we talked about human nature, dependencies and securities of this world, then this thought came across my mind and I asked her:

” Are you a religious person?”
“Nope.”
“So who do you put your trust on?”
“Myself.”
“Ok, good to know that you are self-dependent (laughs)”
nod*nod* teehee...
“Alright. I’m sure you are a capable person, especially for a girl. But let’s say if there’s suddenly one thing which you can do nothing about, who will you look for help?”
“You.”
“(Laughs) I would definitely love to, but what if I’m not able to help you? What if not even a single person in this whole wide world is not able to help?”
stunned*long pause*”
“yer…How?”

and that’s how the story begins =)

Thank you God for the weekly Sunday Service messages, bible studies, youth fellowships, especially Sunday school practices which helped me very much to convey the message in a simplest manner and yet still conforming to the 5 points of Calvinism a.k.a Christian ISO hehe…

I think I “hit” her real hard on some points such as “Your sins are like vomit placed before God: utterly disgusting, repulsive, unsightly”, ”If you think you are steadily paving your way to Heaven, I’m sorry to tell you that you are full speed on a highway heading to hell.” “Ask yourself about your greatest fear, now multiply it by ten times, and add the word “eternity” to it.” I think she almost broke down into tears.

But of course, God is always merciful and ready to forgive and the Good News did made her see life in a whole new perspective: how the world define sin compared to God’s standards, The Creator who created heaven and earth and the whole universe: all-knowing and all-powerful, therefore fear Him and Him only and those fears whose snare used to be upon you will no longer be your bondage, everything in Heaven will be beyond comparison to earthly standards, beyond our human comprehension and best of all, safe and sound and finally re-united with our Creator eternally. I believed that the message brought great joy and hope to her, even a very fresh reminder to myself of the awe of God's definition of character.

But all this I thank God that she listened patiently and was in a good spirit throughout the whole conversation, until I realized it was almost 3am and I really need to call it a day. Anyway, that really wraps up what I would call a fruitful day =)

"Thought for food
Sim Kwang Yang Jan 31, 09 12:02pm

Most of my Chinese friends in Malaysia would be basking still in the festive afterglow of the Chinese New Year celebration. Some may perhaps be struggling to recover from the aftermath of too much feasting. The usually frugal Chinese people would spare no expense when they celebrate the Lunar New Year. Starting from the New Year Eve reunion dinner, right through the entire period until Chap Goh Meh when they end the festivities, they eat like there is no tomorrow.
"

Care to enlighten us "sinful gluttons of Chinese New Year" back to the path of a "proper and healthy" Chinese New Year diet O great Guru?
