CONFESSION

Last night, in the house church we were studying about "mission". To me this word is more about spreading God's good news/salvation to the unbelievers.
Luke 4: 18
"preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed.”

After reading this scripture, it reminds me one thing of which I need to confess to you.
In the past, I seldom tried hard to love those who were difficult for me to love. Margaret’s younger daughter, Eva is one of the examples . She is a bit slow mentally. Most of the time, I do not know how to handle her. I am afraid that I will feel embarrassed when she is out of control. Therefore, I chose to ignore or avoid her. Recently I learned from Bonnie that she set up a “Sunflower” mission. Once a month she will go out with a sister’s daughter (preteens). They will do different things together in order to establish a close bounding. Bonnie did post it on her Sunflower blog. She inspired me by her sincere love and great vision. I start to go out of my comfort zone and learn how to be friend with Eva. I learn to trust and believe one of God’s promises “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love”. (1John 4:18) .

We will try to meet each other once a month. This morning we went for breakfast and afterward she came to my house to have MSN with Michael. They know each other since they were young (in the kid’s kingdom). Eva always treats Michael as his little brother. She felt so excited by being able to chat with Michael through the web camera. It is her first time using this kind of communication. She also felt so happy because she told me that it was the first time that someone (Mike) concerning how is her health been doing.

I am so grateful and thankful to see God helps me to have this victory in my life. It is so true that after we repent, we will be blessed!!!!!!!!
