God's wonderful leading

In the song named "God will make a way", there is a line that says " He works in ways, we cannot see". God does work in a way that we cannot see, but we can realize that it is only something that can be done by God and not by any luck or coincidence.

When I was still a kid back then, my kindergarten was Sandakan Baptist Church. This church has a kindergarten and all my siblings studied there too. During that time, I had the chance to know God because teachers there were telling me stories about Jesus. I ever thought of becoming a Christian and I asked my mum, but she said "no", so I did not accept Christ that time. And once, my sister, who was a Christian during that time, led me to pray to accept Jesus as my savior but during that time, I did not fully understand what "sins", "savior" and all these stuffs mean. Soon, I forgot this moment of praying.

After six years out from kindergarten, I was twelve years old and was in the last year of my primary school, which is Primary 6. I happened to be very close with a friend named Jeff Lee since Primary 4. We always played together with some other friends. One day, we happened to talk about how would the world end. He told me that according to Holy Bible, there will be disasters and there will be a kind of monster attacking mankind. Only those who accepted Christ would have a mark that can be seen by this monster and can avoid from this attack. I believed what he said and was very fear that time. But after some days and weeks, I forgot about all these things he told me.

One day when I was in Form 3(Secondary School), I was in my school canteen when it is Health and Physical Education periods and our class was to play a soccer game. Since I did not bring my sport t-shirt, so I did not join the game but sitting in school canteen just besides where my other classmates played soccer. When watching my friends playing, the canteen auntie sit besides me and read newspaper.

Suddenly, she spoke with me. She spoke of her daughter working herself and giving 10% of her income to her mother and another 10% to God. During that time, I was not a Christian yet so I thought she was saying that her daughter was giving her money in temple. I thought of this practice is good and "learnable".

After joining Lost camp, I accepted Christ. Even though all these experiences might seems to be no help for me to accept Christ. Yet, until today, when I recalled, I canl see that how great is He. They may not help me to be saved, but these things, they become the foundation of my faith today. They show me that God is there, every moment, even when you do not notice it.

All these experiences were just something God had done to lead me home. He never give up on me ever since I was still a kid. What I can said is that, God loves everyone and will lead everyone to Heaven, only if you are willing. I do not know how stubborn is me to accept Him after much He did, but I thank God for Holy Spirit melted my heart and I accepted Christ, truly before my time on earth end. For me, He lead me in a wonderful way. I believe He will do the same things to everyone of us. You can choose to accept Him and rejoicing, praising and living in Heaven forever. You can choose to reject Him and suffer, regret in Hell. Times to make an IMPORTANT decision NOW.

I do not how many times you rejected Him, but what if you were not there anymore in the next minute?
