*OOO* Got 60 points for my little Fluffie!! I can get it a new habitat for it now *yay*. But I think I'd better save some more, so that I can have more choices *hehe*. Hey, to people who have played with my blogpet, I thank you guys sooo much! I know I wouldn't have got that many points without your support!
God challenged me so much yesterday. I'd been thinking of leaving the company I'm working at. As I couldn't handle the complicated relationship among my collegues. They gave me so little respect. No matter how much peace I felt in my heart every morning, once I started to work among the guys at the company, I collapsed. For so long I didn't understand why God put me in such situation. This job is God's answering his people's prayers. Before I got the offer, the brothers and sisters in Melbourne had been praying for me getting a job. I was so confused when God's mercy became a torture to me...
Until last night, on the way home, God asked me a question: Why can't you love the people in your workplace? I answered the question with no hesitation: They're horrible people!
"But I love them, and my salvation is for them" He said.
The words hit me so hard that I broke down and finally I understood what God wanted me to learn in this situation. Loving nice or good or lovable people (like my Deany) isn't difficult. But disciples aren't only called to love good people but also bad people. Actually, there're no good people. All people are bad in some ways as we all sin. There're only two kinds of people - saved and not yet saved; forgiven and not yet forgiven. God wants His people to love the unsaved and the unforgiven. Since love drives the saved to preach the gospel to the unsaved.
Now I know this job is really of God's grace. He shapes me through all the hardships, so that I can be a blessing to the world in the coming days.
