Sharing and Blessing

Every time I am alone, I know God is there for me. Waiting for the bus alone, sitting in the bus with strangers, sitting in the ferry…Every time I am alone, something amazing will happen. Every time blessed by the people around me, the strangers somemore. I am afraid and cautious but God confirmed me with their friendliness and hospitality they offerred to me. We have some nice conversations, each single word they speaked was an eye opener to me. Most of the strangers I met were the elders or I can address them as uncle. I met a lot of Vietnamese in the ferry one night.. They just sat around me and even just beside me. At that moment, I was so uncomfortable and insecure. I start to pray that  I can relax and do something else, but what in my mind was can I approach to the Vietnamese? For some people, they are just foreign workers and we just mind our own business.

I have some burden for the foreign workers and so that those Vietnamese. I was always promted to speak to them but I remain silent due to language barrier. I was like waiting for them to initiate! Yea, this happened! One of the Vietnamese guy initiate to talk to me, amazingly, he spoke in mandarin with his own accent, but surely I can understand them clearly. Wow! Then, after he talked for a while, I started to ask whether he know what is "church", anywhere, he seems did’t catch what I mean. I was thinking, how wonderful if I have a bible in Vietnamese’s language so that I can give it to him. Know that it’s tough for them to know Christ due to persecution and plenty of obstacles in their country.. but I know that God sent them here with a purpose. God sent them to our country even at our door steps. I really pray that they will be blessed and saved…We didnt realize that they have blessed us a lot..

They need love and they are particularly open to spiritual message. We should not look down on them but try to humble ourselves to approach them and their needs as well.
