In this world of darkness many lives are filled with emptiness,
They too need to know of Your love.
O Lord help me point to them the truth, the life, the way,
and bless each life I meet day to day,
And also the second verse of the song "Make a blessing"
Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love,
Tell of His pow'r to forgive;
Others will trust Him if only you prove
True, every moment you live
Tell of His pow'r to forgive;
Others will trust Him if only you prove
True, every moment you live
It was started about a week ago. It was just a usual day, a student of mine asked me to give him an addition lesson/ after school. This kid is really weak in Math, but thank God he realize it and ask me to give him extra class. So, I gave him happily.
That afternoon, Tuesday 10th September, just one day before he and all his fellows in 10th grade will have a retreat, we have a little conversation. From that moment, a very little and unplanned conversation, until now, my heart is filled with a bunch of prays for him.
He came from a non-Christian family. But somehow, I don't understand how God works through everything that he has passed in his life. He told me that he is not a Christian, YET. But he want to be. He said, "I want to be a Catholic, my mom was okay with that." Oh my God, maybe this is what the bible tells us "behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest" (John 4 : 35).
Up till now, I still don't have idea what to do. Do I have to talk about Christ to him continuously? Should I ask him to join with me to go to the church on Sunday? Or maybe I can give some of my book, Christian book? Maybe it could lead him to understand what is Christianity. The only thing I can do, for sure, is pray for him. In this past two weeks, I can't remember how many times I pray for him, maybe 3 or 4, or more. I don't know if this one is a crazy idea or what : should I become his spiritual father brother? Even at this moment, my heart is beating faster. I can't imagine if this kiddo have not ever meet Jesus Christ in his entire life? What kind of life he will live?
Through this reflection, I pray to God that He will grant me wisdom, strength, and a brave-heart to tell to this kids about the Love of Jesus Christ or maybe my spiritual life, how I live in God, how I struggle with my sins, and how Lord Jesus save my life, catch me, and help me to live day by day. My life is an open book, that others will read it, and I hope what they read is all about the love of Christ.
Help me, O God to be your channel of blessing for this kid. May he see Jesus in me, be a believer, and confess that You are the only living God.
