Patience
Hullo!!
It's been kind of a while since I blog, so after having a long day today, why not blog, eh?
Well I have been hangin' out with some of my friends here in Thailand, hard to say but they're a transvestite. And I really want to build good friendship with them so that I will be able to share the Gospel with them and let them know about the love of Christ.
Well I come to this realization, after 1 month long of friendship with all of them.
It's going to take time.
And I really need to let the Holy Spirit do His job, of conviction, planting the truth and setting them free.
I thought about how would I let them know that soon or later, they need to find their true identity in Christ. Yes, Jesus love them just the way they are but at the same time I need to understand that when the truth enter to their life, the truth will do its work and it will set them free. But in order to set them free, they need to forsake their old life and follow Christ. And I know it's not gonna be easy for them.
To get them saved is one thing, but to disciple them is another thing.
Jesus didn't say, "Go and make converts..." He say, "Go and make disciples..."
So pray with me brothers and sisters who read this blog, that God will open the way for them to be discipled and not juts be converted. The Lord is opening a lot of things into my mind and I start to get excited about it! But it will take a lot of waiting and it will cost me something.
But you don't go to the store and ask, "How you make it?" you would say, "How much it cost?" so now I am asking the Lord, "God how much it cost? If it cost you your life, I can still give a lot more than I've already given right now."
"A bruised reed he will not break, and smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he leads justice to victory. In His name the nations will put their hope." Matt.12:20-21
