One in the Lord

September 18, 2009

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many from one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

-Romans12:12

With God's children, there are no barriers. Everyone called forth to be His is family! i had an awesome experience regarding this just today.

Today, at about past 4pm, i was able to meet this guy named Lau, and after a short conversation, i discovered that he was a Christian. We exchanged encouraging words for a while, then i asked him if he was up for some FISHING. He said he was! =)

We then turned to our left, and saw this one guy who wasn't going anywhere, so we decided to try to talk to him. Only problem was, we were pushing each other as to who would be the one to talk to the guy. i finally opened up the conversation about his views on God and Jesus, then we (Lau and i) preached the Gospel to him. We learned his name was Kyle and it was awesome just looking at him respond to what Jesus had done for him! Overwhelmed, convicted and repentant, Lau and i prayed over him and gave him the opportunity to accept Jesus into his life as his Lord and Savior, and he willingly accepted and had a few follow-up questions. Praise Jesus Lau and i were able to answer. Heaven was rejoicing that day as Lau and i welcomed him into the family.

Kyle was surprised to learn also that Lau and i just met that very day, and Lau sheepishly said, "Like brothers na noh?" It's just awesome how God unites His kids through His Son, Jesus! Lau and i were in such awe that day as to how God used us even though we knew practically nothing about each other. Nonetheless, we're one in the family of the Lord! <><
