In my distress today, the Lord surprised me. As I was walking along the road on my way for lessons, I was asking the Lord a question, "Where will my pulpit be, Lord?" Had an almost instant reply in the same day.
While I was at tuition today, so engrossed in the kid's lessons, there was a 'scene' about the fact that they were afraid to die. I grabbed the opportunity, took out a piece of paper and started to draw a John 3:16 diagram http://www.simusic.com/john316/john316_13.html for them. I wanted to share my hope in Christ and that I knew where I was going when I died.
The kids were so ecstatic that they were silent and listened to me explain the diagram. (Usually, they would be chatty and noisy!!) I knew that I had 'touched' on a raw nerve and I had given an answer to their fears. At the end of the session, I even taught them how to receive Jesus into their hearts. I concluded that ,"When you are ready, let me know. I will pray with you and lead you to invite Jesus into your heart." Woo wee!! I was thrilled just seeing that the kids were connecting with me.
From there, they were so co-operative and the girl even mentioned that she would like me to teach her forever! Oh, what a comfort to my aching heart!
God sure knows how to comfort us in our pain and agony.... This brought so much delight and joy to me, just being able to taste of the kingdom of God here.
