He has never failed to amaze me, with the wondrous ways He chooses to work. Just found out over the last 2 months, my mum has been attending church service every sunday and she's occasionally been able to coax my dad to go with her to visit the little church just outside their house.
Spent some time reflecting upon this fact yesterday and it occured to me that since I've been a Christian in Year 2000, it's been ingrained in me that I'm the first-generation Christian in the family and the salvation of my entire family falls upon my shoulder. I mean it makes perfect sense since I'm the only Christian in the family and it's up to me to spread the faith. Everyone knows the mechanics of that...but I guess the thing we've failed to realise is what God is trying to tell us right now...."Salvation is not up to us...it's always up to Him"....
The more I think about it, the more incredible this gets....it's been almost 7 years now that I've been a Christian...stagnant is probably the best word to desribe my spiritual life at this present moment...but yet, despite all that, God has miraculous led my parents to church...which was something I've never succeeded in the past (besides the rare occassions I've invited them to church to watch my drama and church musical). I've even been told by my mum that the fellow Christian brothers and sisters in that church are always so warm and welcoming towards my parents.
There really is no better way to usher in the new year, but to receive reaffirmation from God that He is in control in All ways and in everything. A timely reminder to me as well to go back to Church regularly and more important, renew and strengthen my relationship with Him. I feel so blessed to know that He's watching over my parents and my family. What a wondrous God we serve.....
