மீகா 2 13: தடைகளை நீக்கிப்போடுகிறவர் அவர்களுக்கு முன்பாக நடந்துபோகிறார்; அவர்கள் தடைகளை நீக்கி, வாசலால் உட்பிரவேசித்துக் கடந்துபோவார்கள்; அவர்கள் ராஜா அவர்களுக்கு முன்பாகப் போவார், கர்த்தர��� அவர்கள் முன்னணியில் நடந்துபோவார். The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.

No Purpose of God’s Can Be Thwarted (Part 3/3) | BMH 2019 Reflection

<-- Part 1/3

<-- Part 2/3

Week 4: God’s Purpose Revealed and Goodbyes

*prays before eating lunch*

“Ah! Do you believe in Jesus?”

“Yes...”

“Me too!”

“GOD, WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD TO ME THIS WEEK?!?!?!”

            God gifted me this week with 16-year-old Grace* and 15-year-old Lucy* who, along with several familiar faces, came from the Week 1 orphanage! Day 1 not only did I find out that my translator Matty was a Christian, but also, at mealtime, I prayed and found out so was Grace! By evening, I had been blessed to sing songs like, “10,000 Reasons” with our family and get to curl Lucy’s hair when she couldn’t go to swim time. God also used a volunteer from that week named Kara, to show us all more of why He relocated us Week 1.

“I saw Lucy is in your group.”

“Yeah! I have Lucy and Grace. God is so GOOD! I just found out that Grace and my translator are both Christians!”

“I was thinking the same thing! Every year I went to camp at Yantai, Lucy’s always been in my family group but this year I heard Zhengzhou needed more volunteers, so I decided to come here. I was afraid that Lucy might feel sad that I wasn’t in Yantai this year but then I saw her walk in and I was like, ‘Wow, God! You’re amazing!’”

           My jaw dropped when I heard that and at the volunteer meeting that night when we shared about it, we were all mind blown at God’s sovereignty.

“WOW. God had a purpose and reason for moving us!”

           Even more amazingly, Grace’s testimony affirmed God’s sovereign hand even over orphans who age out! Grace was born with a lot of health problems and abandoned by her parents who divorced. She was sent to a Buddhist foster home where the practice was drilled into them yet somehow she just knew that Buddhism was not “the way”. The foster home burned down and she was relocated to another orphanage where there happened to be Christian teachers who taught the kids math, English, and the Bible! When Grace was 13, she decided to give her life to Jesus. A year later, a Canadian Christian family had read about her online, moved to China, and adopted her so she got to live with them! Still, Chinese law says orphans are not adoptable at age 14 so a year later at 15, she was moved to this orphanage.

           It would seem that all hope is lost, but God had bigger plans.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” ~Isaiah 55:8-9

          Grace’s family told her that when she was 18, she would go back to living with them while also giving her a bible and phone to keep up with them. What is God’s purpose in keeping her in this orphanage for the next 2 years? Through brokenness, He started to reveal more of that.

          Grace had a mental break down the whole day of the talent show and we were speechless on what to do. I felt so weak and helpless that day, unable to understand what was going on in her heart- all I could do was get to my knees and pray. That night, we just sat handing her tissues. I knew that the only One who could comfort her was the Comforter Himself, so I said,

“Although I don’t know what’s on your heart, I’m glad you know the One who does. Lean on Him and pray to Him. He will never leave you or forsake you.”

           I just sat there and hugged her for a half hour as she cried. Through it all, my other girl Lucy asked why I was saying what I said. Wow! Even through seemingly “inconvenient” trauma, God can still allow it to be a chance to share the gospel. Truly, not one plan for the sake of His glory can be thwarted!

          Although Grace had to wait for two years to go back to her family, in the waiting, God can use her life as a testimony to these kids. I can’t openly share the gospel with these kids but she probably can! Her life is already a picture of the gospel: for the one who knows Christ will also receive the family of Christ.

          We all, like Grace, are broken humans who move from place to place, fostered by the philosophy of the world that will never satisfy because it is not the “Truth”. In fact, one day, all those who follow in the philosophy of the world will lose everything and similarly burn as they are thrown into the “lake of fire”. Yet, a good and gracious God from afar sees us. He left all He knew to come live in ‘our land’ as a man because of love. God shows His love for us in this: that while we were still sinners (following in the ways of the world), Christ died for us. He died for our sins so we can be forgiven by a Holy and Just God. Not only are we forgiven, but we are redeemed into a new life where we receive His Spirit and are adopted as His children into His heavenly family. 

            Still, because of the work to be done, we still live on the earth surrounded by a broken world but are given the Word of Truth to guide us to live as Jesus lived. Hence, while we wait for Jesus to come back and redeem us fully, we have a mission here to be a witness for Jesus through how we live. As we yearn to finally be with our heavenly “family”, He teaches us to learn to look more to Christ as His power is perfected in our brokenness and weakness. No evil in the world could thwart God’s plan of adoption for Grace and no evil in the world can thwart God’s plan to redeem us into the family of Christ because the work “is finished.”

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” ~ 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

~~~~~~~~~~~

“I want to encourage you all that there is hope. I wasn’t supposed to stay for Week 4 but I praise God that I did. When these kids left Week 1, I wondered, will I ever see them again? But seeing them again this week encouraged me so much! Just seeing us again, made their days even brighter. You can just tell they had so much fun being back this week! I hope you all would consider coming back next year to be consistency for these kids, something they don’t have. I definitely want to and I want you all to keep me accountable.”

          The Lord allowed me and other staff to impart these words to the translators. Leaving camp was of one of the most painful goodbyes. Today, I still think so much of the kids and all that has happened. Some days I am so happy but then I cry because my heart yearns to see, hold, and hug them. My heart’s desire is to move to East Asia, to be closer to the kids (and my extended family) to the point of questioning why the Lord has me here in the United States. Opportunities have come but He has made it clear that they are not His will. 

           Yet I must remember that He is sovereign and that He has a good plan for me in His timing (which may not be my plans or timing but when He reveals it, it will be perfect). There is a reason He has brought me back to the US. In the meanwhile, He reminds me to pursue Him and pray that the seeds planted in these kids would lead them to a living hope in Christ until we (prayerfully) meet again next year. May You, O Lord, help me to be content in You, wherever You place me, for I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate me from Your love.

“Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” ~ Psalm 37:4

Surprise, Surprise [long post!] • • • Minsan akala natin wala... o wala na... o wala lang... o walang pag-asa. Minsan iniisip natin lumipas na ang pagkakataon, at huli na ang lahat. Buti na lang minsan mali tayo sa inaakala at iniisip natin. Higit doon, buti na lang may Diyos na mahilig mang-surprise. Haha! ☝ • • • Kaya 'yung akala mong wala, meron pala... Kelangan mo lang hintayin. 'Yung akala mong wala na, maibabalik pala... O kung hindi naman ay mapapalitan din. 'Yung akala mong wala lang, never nababalewala kay Lord! 'Yung walang pag-asa, binibigyang pag-asa ng buhay na Diyos na kumikilos at nagsasakatuparan ng lahat ng Kanyang pangako. 🙌 Oo, may mga lumilipas na pagkakataon, pero hindi naman nauubos 'yun! Ang Diyos ay may magandang plano sa buhay ng bawat isa, kaya walang "it's too late." Laging may one more chance. ❤ Kaya Niyang gawin ang mga bagay na iniisip nating imposible, mga bagay na akala natin di maaaring mangyari, mga bagay na di natin hinangad o inasahan. • • • I'm a sucker for surprises, and I got several of those (both good and not-so-good) over the past weeks. But today... Iba eh. Start pa lang ng araw, sa devo ko, parang na-set na yung mood for the whole day. (Pinost ko pa yung verse.) Sabi nung isang article, "Let God surprise you today!" Ramdam ko especially today na favored ako. 😉 . . . Siguro pakonswelo sakin ni God 'to kasi up ahead nakikita ko na na may panibagong pagdadaanan na naman. 😅 Kelangan ko ng something to hold on to, something to look back on pag nangyari yun, kaya hinahanda Niya na ako. Haha. . . . Nonetheless, pasalamat na lang ako na may Panginoon na nagmamahal sa akin at gumagabay. Walang rason para hindi magtiwala. Walang rason para hindi maniwala. Thank You, LORD! Da best ka. Let Your will be done! 🙏 #anghabadiba #microblogging #puspos #soblessedIcantcontainit #myheartisfull #10000Reasons!!!
