#Testimony

Something has been on my mind recently.

I have been sharing about christianity to one of my non believing friend, let's called that friend W.
Initially, inviting W was really hard and i got rejected so many times last year.
But when i came back to brisbane this year, I invited W for life group (before the school term started) and i got rejected again.
Out of curiosity, i asked, "Aren't you curious about christianity? Don't you want to know more about our God?"
She said no. Which broke my heart.
It was so sad to hear that people are not interested in God.
But the sadder thing is knowing that not just W, but a lot of people feels this way.
So i asked, "Do you have other plans?"
W said no. So I tried again and asked her to come for life group once, just to try it out, and if she didn't like it, she don't have to come even if i ask her again next time.
And so, she agreed to come for life group! (PRAISE THE LORD!!)

Before life group, i prayed so hard that whatever bad experience she had that caused her to have a bad impression would be replaced by this new experience that she will encounter at life group.

At the end of life group, I asked her how she felt about it. She told me that it went better than what she expected. But she felt awkward during praise (since she wasn't a christian and was shocked by how passionately people were worshipping and singing to God) and felt like the message reminded her of lectures. I could totally understand how she felt, putting myself in her shoes.

Then came the next week. So i asked her if she wants to join us for life group again this week, and she said yes!

And then the next week, before i could even ask if she wants to come, she told me that she will be coming.

Isn't that just so amazing!! Look what God has been doing!!
From someone who had no interest in God and was unwilling to come for life group, God has slowly lead W to one who is open to coming for life group/ service and one who is willing to hear more about God.

While W is willing to learn about christianity, it is still hard for W to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour.
W does not have a personal relationship with God yet.
W have not tasted and seen the goodness of our loving Father.
But I will continue to pray that W will be receptive, and that W will seek God and find Him. And that everything and anything holding W back will be gone.
I pray that W may receive the best gift and to receive salvation.

I am sharing this because I believe God loves W, and God loves everyone of you.
He has a plan for each and everyone.
So even though this is still work in progress, I can see God's hand in W's life.
And I pray and hope that next time I update you about W, it would be good news.
Trusting and relying on God!
