God Works in Ways We Cannot See

My Redeemer is indeed faithful and true. And whatever He has said, He will surely do. I have known Him for more than three years yet I was never more thankful than now. God has indeed shown me that He listens to my prayers and meets my needs (even those I did not pray for). There is really no one like Him.

Last Thursday, my mum found out something which I have been hiding for 3 years. She discovered that I am a Christian. I had been living in fear for the past three years, keeping from her that I accepted Jesus. This was because I am afraid of possible persecution. Despite constant encouragements from my fellow siblings-in-Christ to make my faith known, I lived with a heart of fear - fear of man.

While she was searching for a voucher which was misplaced, she actually read my mission trip folder and all other stuff. She did not tell me what she found and she did not raise this during dinner. It was only later in the night that she opened my drawer and took out the bilingual bible. I thought that moment was the end of me. However, by the Grace of God, mum reacted in such way that I would never expect her to. She told me that she will not object. I couldn't believe it. I sat still in my room for a couple of minutes, trying to convince myself of what mum told me. At that point of time, God spoke to me too.

For the past few months, I had some thoughts. I told God in my heart that if I manage to get through my parents (as in making my faith known to them), I would be able to love and serve God will all my heart, all my soul, and my strength and all my mind. Through this incident, I felt God telling me that, "Hey, I have taken up your challenge and I have proved it to you by sparing you from persecution. So what are you going to do next?"

I thought that was a good question. Frankly speaking, I do not have an answer to that. I am still trying to list out plans and actions.

Anyways, it's late... I guess I will continue another day...
