When We Disobey


        Tonight such an interesting night for me.  I took for walk after i ate my supper. Somehow, the kids (our students where i am working at) were followed me, so I told them yes it's good that we do our digestive walk, I was so happy would able spent time with them. I turned on my hymns music while we walked, and 1 of the student had a headphone and listening to it. Somehow I asked him what kind of song do you listening to? he just laughed and I asked again, " can I try the headphone?" and when I put on the headphone on me it was worldly music , I was shock. And you know I was really don't know how to reacted and I was just freeze ( I know that this case is not  important for others, we have been teach our students about music and all the students know already that we don't listen to the worldly music here and they know what is the reason as well), the point is disobedient.

    We have been  reminding them for many times but still do it. So I talked to the boy, do you relate now to Adam and eve? when God told them "don't" but they did it anyway. Can you see that the problem from their time is just the same for us now days which is "disobedient"? He said ,yes. I do relate to them. At the end of our conversation I told him, keep up the work ( to obey) I know it's hard for us that's why we need Jesus. 

    Instead of scolded him, I felt sad deep down in my heart, after we talked and we dismissed I cried ,because I know that I also still have that disobedience attitude toward God in my life in some areas. I just can relate how Jesus feels when I disobey Him, He would be very sad 😢. 

    I'm so thankful for this experience , it helps me  understand a little bit more how much he loves me though i will never be enough to know His infinite love  and this experience amaze me  how he deals with me every time I disobey Him. 

    All of us have the same problem (disobedient) in different cases, even though God has reminding us many time  "don't do that " and often time we fall in to that disobedient over and over. But, let us take for some time to think how God has been dealing with us when we disobey Him? Does he scold us right away? Does he really get mad on us ? (which some of us probably has been taught this wrong believes when we grew up), or do you think he would be very sad?

    God loves us very much, and he had saved us thru Jesus Christ His only begotten Son. Jesus understands our struggling, our weaknesses , our trials because he was a human.  He gave us the incredible example how to depend on God with our humanity to obey God and even how to treat the sinners just like me. Just fix our eyes on Jesus and let Him work in our live than we will be like Him naturally.

The Pain That Heals: A Journey of Recovery and Restoration

Image
—  Jeremiah 30:17 (NIV) But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord."           In 2023, I had an experience I never expected: I fractured my right big toe. I’m truly thankful that it wasn’t too serious, but it was still enough to teach me some deep and meaningful lessons.           During the healing process, I still felt pain, swelling, and inflammation. In fact, there were times when the pain felt even worse than when the injury first happened. I started to worry, “Is it getting worse?” But after learning more, I found out that what I was feeling was actually normal. It’s part of the healing process when the bones are reconnecting and the body is doing its job. That gave me peace of mind.           And then it hit me: maybe this doesn’t just apply to physical injuries. Maybe it’s the same when we’re healing from something emotional, mental, or even spiritual. ...

Lessons From Tough Time

          Many things are happening currently, but I am so grateful for all the experiences that have come my way recently. I will share a little bit at a time and share the valuable lessons I've learned that I can pass on to all of you. 😊      Two months ago, I faced a very interesting event where one of our students had to be sent home from the school. I can't go into detail, but what I want to share is how I was able to get through that very sad event. So, when we decided to send the student home, I felt very sad and it was a really difficult decision. In fact, even until today, I still regret that he had to leave. I tried several times to fight for this student to stay, but in the end, he still had to go. I hugged him and cried with a heavy heart as I let him go.      💕      The lesson I learned is that Jesus continuously strives to fight for me so that I may accept the salvation He has freely given an...

Finding the Sweetest Part in the Bitterness

     Following Jesus, the sweetest experience comes in the middle of life’s difficulties. We know that in this world, we will face many hard moments that can make us feel discouraged. But it’s a completely different experience when we walk with Jesus! 💜      Without removing the pain that we are experiencing, but by involving Him in that experience, we will find sweetness within it, and that alone is more than enough to restore our spirit!💪😇      One time, I had to make a very hard decision : 'God or family,' in terms of my life’s calling. I clearly remember that night, feeling a heavy heart because of how much I loved my family, and I knew that God understood how deep my love for them. At the same time, I wanted to follow the calling God had given me. 😭 That night, God reminded me of this verse : Matthew 10:37 (NIV): "Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more th...
