A Very Blessed Day


Another blessed day

Today was another blessed day. Actually, everyday should be a blessed day. While I was at the counseling session, I got a message from 阿叔。 I was so surprised that he had called me. So sweet! So, when I arrived at home, my Mom told me that a Michael Lee had called me and he’s left me a phone number to call him. Nice! So I called him. We talked for nearly 30 minutes and we just talked about everything. It was so good to be able to talk to him coz I missed him a lot. Actually, I really missed all the brothers and sisters of ACM, whether it is ACM HK, Canada, LA or even locally in the Bay Area.

I told him that he called me when I was at my counseling session therefore I had missed his call. He was very concern that I am in counseling session but I assured him that I am going through Christian counseling so it’s all good. God is refining me and molding me so that He may put me to good use one of these days.

At the counseling session, I was asked which person I could most identify with, the younger brother or the older brother in the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32). Frankly, I can most identify with the younger brother because I too have lived a very crazy life before accepting Christ as my personal Savior. Then, my counselor asked if there’s anything about the big brother that I can identify myself with. Guess what? I could. I could not believe that I was also a bit self-centered, self-righteous and self-worshipping sometimes. OMG! I too can get jealous easily. I could also be attention seeking and I am definitely guilty of being prideful. There’s just so much I need to learn and I feel so shameful of my unseen sins.

I thank the Lord that He is like the father of the Prodigal Son. My Lord loves me unconditionally and I don’t need to earn His love. He loves me just as I am through Christ, who died on the cross for me. This is grace, the amazing grace. Praise God! Praise Him!
