living sacrifice

I thought about it for a long time, and out of love, I said to Mu Yun cautiously: "I think you should first confirm whether you are saved or not before you can really get started after being reborn. Also, don't follow others. Although your master used to be your master , but now the Lord Jesus is the real teacher, following others will always make mistakes.” I say this because many people have reminded me like this before.

However, Mu Yun didn't accept this at all. She said, "I think even if I'm not saved, I'll understand after getting in touch with you, isn't it?"

"I don't think so. There is an obvious boundary between being born again and not being born again. If you don't stay born again, it's a waste of time to stay in Christianity for a long time. On the contrary, you may not be as good as those unsaved people outside the church. Because if people think they are If they have been saved but have not repented and been saved, it is really harder for them to accept that they are not saved than it is for those who do not believe in God.”

"Your experience is your experience. Didn't you say before that you should use the Bible as a standard? Why do you use your own experience to frame me? Didn't God create people differently?"

Both Mu Yun and You Yan are eloquent. I can't say no to them, but I'm just stubborn and feel that something is wrong.

Those who have just been saved are really very passionate in their hearts. When I meet friends, colleagues, and netizens, I want to preach the gospel to them.Even if they are people I don’t like, I will treat them well because God loves them, let alone those friends who are already very close to me?

I had a friend whom I hadn’t contacted for eight years. At that time, I suddenly contacted me. I thought it was God who told me to preach the gospel to her.But when I finished, she looked at me very confused and asked me, "Is there anything wrong with your marriage?"

"No." I lied, eyes uncomfortable.Because I don't want the Word of God to be reproached among the Gentiles because of my marriage.

The friend said: "That's good. Today is quite strange, and I actually met you again. Let's make an appointment next time."

"Well, we must make an appointment."

"Did you bring an umbrella? It looks like it's going to rain. Today's weather forecast is heavy rain."

"I didn't bring it."

"Then what do you do? Did you come here by bike? Is your movie theater far away? It looks like it's really going to rain. Look at my phone, it's going to rain in half an hour."

"I shouldn't be able to get home in half an hour, but I think it's okay."

"Why don't I lend you my umbrella."

With a certainty in my heart, I said to her, "I'm really fine. Come back soon."

The sky was gloomy, dark clouds were heavy overhead, and the air changed from the damp and hot air to a strong wind suddenly.The strong wind was blowing on me and it was chilly.Looking at the weather, it is indeed a thunderstorm.

But I walked very resolutely, and walked all the way to the house. Just as I opened the door and entered the house, I suddenly heard the sound of rain outside, so loud that it seemed that the sound outside could not hear anything.

My heart was full of joy, and I sent a message to my friend: "Just as I entered the house, it rained. Sure enough, God protected me."

"It's good that I'm not drenched, and I'm home too," she said.

I'm so angry!How could she not believe in God?Why doesn’t she believe that God protects me?I am her friend, when have I lied to her?Well, just cheated.But in matters of God, I really didn't lie to her.

I preached the gospel to many, many people, but no one believed me.

My colleague gave me a strange look, and said, "Is that not an auditory hallucination? Are you too tired recently?"

Another colleague was very serious, "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" after listening to it, he said, "I remembered that I have a Catholic icon painter in my phone. Would you like to recommend it to you? I think you must have a common language."

I really don't know how to make others believe what I said, thinking of the words in the "Bible": "Who will believe what we preach?" It is really so.

Since I was baptized, I clearly know that God is with me, and He is always willing to protect me in various circumstances. As Chen Xueyan said, the "newbie halo" is very sweet.

I am actually very afraid that I will fall into a bad environment again, so I cherish this "novice village" very much, and I want to do my best to extend the time limit of this "novice halo".

At that time, I had a very clear idea in my heart: I must strive to be holy in my life so that God will be with me.

It was a very hectic time, with all kinds of challenges every day.Joy is real joy. From birth to now, there has never been any moment where I can have such a huge satisfaction as being with God. My heart is filled with joy, just like the "Bible" said to be able to overflow "Oil of Joy".

I am very thankful to God. If He hadn’t insisted on saving me, I would have been blinded by the dark world just like everyone else.If God didn’t insist on whipping me, how could I doubt the world I believed in since I was a child?

But life didn’t go smoothly just because I believed in Jesus. It should be said that there were some smooth parts, and there were also some challenges that the Lord tailored for me, and He asked me to accept them.I'm already thankful to God for taking away the troubles I couldn't bear.

My parents will return to S city soon, I haven't said a word to them about Wang Xuanhuan's problem, I have been patient on my own, but if they come back, our affairs will definitely be exposed, because Wang Xuanhuan doesn't even want to see me now, Although I have tried my best with him.

I have to go out to rent a house, renting a house in S City is very expensive, how can I afford it with my salary?The only good news for me is that CPF is available.

I decided to go out to rent a house and temporarily cover up the matter between me and Wang Xuanhuan. I hope that God will move him and tell him to come to me. I hope that he will be moved by God to find out his mistakes and stop clinging to his weird ideas that he must die.

It is really strange that in such a state of existence, I have peace.

Running around for various things such as renting a house, making money, and getting married, during this process, I was able to put my greatest thoughts on the Lord. I thank and praise the Lord. The pure heart that was facing God at that time was completely God. gift.

I admit that I am incompetent in all aspects, and I was cheated out of some money when it came to renting a house, but in the end, thanks to the Lord, He chose a house for me.When I opened the map, I suddenly found that the house I was renting and my work unit were in a straight line, and I decided in my heart that this place was prepared for me by the Lord.

I have peace in my heart.Although the real estate agent repeatedly missed appointments and told me to wait for him for an extra hour on a rainy day because of other clients, I just took this incident as God's exercise for me.

I can't say I'm not angry, but the words of the Bible I just read are always in my heart: "Be angry, but do not sin, and don't give room to the devil."

I have been studying the Bible, praying, and waiting at the subway station.

An hour later, the agent sent me a message: "I'm really sorry, the two customers just left. Do you still want to see the house? I'll come over now."

It was late, and it was raining outside again, and I was cold and sticky all over, with mosquito bites on my arms and legs, which were extremely itchy.

When I turned on the phone, I was still angry, and I really wanted to scold him and express my emotions.But I remembered God’s words, and I didn’t dare to make mistakes. After praying, I was going to reply him with two words: “It’s okay.”

The strange thing is that when I finished writing these two words, my hand didn't stop, I was still writing: "It's okay, I'll wait for you. It's raining and the road is slippery, so be careful on the road."

Why should I tell him "it's raining and the road is slippery, be careful on the road"?

This is definitely not something I can do.It is the Holy Spirit at work, it is the Holy Spirit who is with me!

When this happened, my heart was filled with joy. I found that I had the Holy Spirit, which was given to me by God. I thank and praise God for this.I know that having the Holy Spirit is an excellent thing, including the places where we meet, we often gather together to pray for the Holy Spirit to come.Now, the Holy Spirit is within me and he is directing me to write these words of calm and comfort. How amazing!

The Comforter of the Holy Spirit is very mysterious in the eyes of many people.But I am very grateful that I was scourged by God, God brought me back to the church, and He repaid me according to what I did, but then He showed me His mercy and washed me with the blood of Jesus Christ Purify me and even give me the Holy Spirit.What did I do?What virtue and ability do I have, why did God choose me?I did nothing, all this, because he loves me.

Since then, I love the Bible even more.And my hobbies have gradually moved from the fringes of studying the prophecy and archeology of the Bible to the center—God Himself.
