Went to Kingdom City last Sunday. Thanks to Jonathan again for fetching Suey Erz,Joannes and I! It's PS James Aiton who shared his testimony with us,and it's about his test by God,the greatest storm in his life.It's very very inspiring and strong message that I don't have appropriate words to describe it.Truly.
There is one thing PS James said,and it sounded something like this: " people some times tease others about how little faith others have in God for they fear when they are facing storms and they turn to God.But i admire them for turning to God because the first person they ask for help when they're in trouble is God. Who will be the first person you go to when you're facing a storm?Is it God?" I guess not everyone of us turn to God in the first place.Most of us will try to handle it by ourselves,thinking me might be able to make it by our own.But if you think again,without God,who are we?He is the one who gave us every breath,He is the one who gives us strength.Without Him,can we even do anything?
PS James faced his storm and even though he started to have questions like "why am I the one suffering?",he decided to believe and surrender to God.All because God had sent His only son,Jesus to die on the cross for all of us,all our sins.And it's bigger than all of his doubts.He also reminded us that we're serving an awesome God,who created the universe and breathe life into us. He had a vision after that and he talked about how he felt God's strength and comfort flowing in him. It's so truly inspiring.
Well,you may ask,why do Christians still face problems and loss? Aren't we suppose to have a great and easy life? Well,the answer to your questions is NO.Just because we believe in God doesn't mean the road for us is wider,doesn't mean the grass is greener or the birds sing to us or our lives is easier. BUT,it means that we're turning from highway to hell to the road to heaven.Turning 180 degrees away from evil and starts walking with God. It means whenever we're facing a storm,Jesus will be with us and that we'll never be alone. And when we accepted Him,He lives in our hearts. We'll be tested by God for our faith and we will never know why.But after the incident,we'll emerge as a better person,with stronger faith and better character.It helps in shaping our soul,which is the only thing we have,that last forever.
Remember,no matter what happens,God is with us and He never fails.We will not understand why we encounter such pain,but He knows why and He will stand with us through it all. We'll never walk alone.
"even when you're in the storm,know that Jesus is still in your boat."
