I saw an old black man packing his luggage on the road yesterday, and thought to myself: The sun is so hot, why is he by the side of the road? Right! This is American Homeless! The rate of homelessness in America has been rising rapidly. Why is there more and more homeless people in America when it is getting more and more progressive? Is it because the land area of America has shrunk? The land area of the United States has not shrunk, but the life of the American people is getting more and more difficult! I often think about a question: If I leave the world tomorrow, do I have any regrets? The answer is: If God asked me to leave this world tomorrow, I would be quite willing to leave, because in fact, I have nothing worth nostalgic about this world! But God has given me some work, and I haven't left yet, because my work is not done yet! (2 Timothy 4:7) I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: (8) Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.~~Paul is more powerful! He's done all he's got to do, I'm probably just off the field, can I get the crown? I have no idea! I can only say: I will try my best to do God's work well!
I remember once a few years ago, I said to my parents: God wants to heal my brother, he will become smarter, and he will become better! But none of them believed that God would heal their son, they never believed that my brother would become wise! Later, I always prayed for my brother, and I always prayed with my brother. My parents often beat him and scolded him because of his wrongdoing, and I often quarreled with them because of my brother. lower IQ, but he is also their son. For the past, I don't want to criticize and judge, but I believe that God has His own rules for doing things! He is the Creator and doesn't need me to teach Him how to do things! God will surely repay everyone according to what they have done! I just want to share my story! Yesterday, while I was praying, God told me: My brother is doing well! Don't worry him! In fact, I didn't see my brother for the last time, and I was very sad, but I clearly understand that this is God's will!
I remember, when my brother was critically ill in the Intensive Care Unit, I prayed, and God said: He is in your hands. I am very grateful to God! But one night, my brother told to me: He doesn't want to come back! I also told my mother: Although God entrusted my brother to me, he didn’t want to go back to this world at all. He said: He was very unhappy in this world! There is no place in this world that he can miss! Later, on the last day when my brother was extubated, my brother told me: He is leaving! My brother said one thing that impressed me deeply: He said: See you in heaven! He said: You will see me healthy and smart in heaven! At the time I didn't understand why! Then I understood! Because I have no chance to see him for the last time! My brother told me again and again: take mom to heaven! Mom's life needs to change! Indeed, my parents' lives really needed to change!
Later, I knew that my mother had no way to get out! Because after all, my mother has been living with her brother for more than half a century, and my brother is the center of gravity of my mother! I made an outrageous prayer to God: I begged the Lord Jesus not to pick up my brother for a while, because I knew my mother would not be able to bear it! God is indeed the Lord in charge of the universe! During this period, my brother was around us, and I took my parents over, and I also hope to help them get over the pain of bereavement! What God does is the best! A while ago, my brother really went home to heaven! It's time for him to ask for leave! My brother knew that my parents are the kind of people with stiff necks, and their growth environment makes them inseparable from "Money"! And my brother has low intelligence since he was a child, so "Money" is dispensable to him! How much he has, how much he spends, and often buys things for others to eat! He has a very simple concept of "Money"! And man's evil, let him become evil! Why does my brother steal money to buy things? Why does my brother beat and curse people? Everything happened has the different reason! What is "goodness"? What is "evil"? Do we really not know? Don't take God for a "fool"! God is the God who "searches the heart". If the Creator can be deceived, then He is not the Creator!
There is only one purpose in sharing this story: God always knows our needs, and everything God has given us is our "true needs"! Just like how I asked God to ask for leave for my brother, He never asked me for as long as I wanted, but the time He allowed my brother to stay was when my mother needed him the most! When His time has come! He will naturally pick up my brother! It's like God told me: He wants to heal my brother! I never thought about His healing, which is to take away my brother! I thought: God wants to heal my brother, but my parents don't have full faith, so the result is completely different from what I thought! God could totally heal my brother, but my parents needed to have at least a modicum of faith, and they didn't! Just like God let the elder brother choose to leave or return to the world, in the end the elder brother chose to leave the world! Because there is no place in this world worthy of his nostalgia! Many things are different from what we imagined, so is there no Creator? Of course not! The Creator exists forever! But our "Faith" changes the "results" in our lives! What God has said will surely come true! Just like He said: Heal brother! In the end, He still healed my brother! God never takes back what He has said, and what He has said will never change! It's just that He has His own time and His own way of fulfilling His own words! God is not our slave, He will not do our will! And God will not change His laws casually! If God changes the law at will, then He is not the Creator! Without a "just God" there is absolutely no Creator! The Creator must have "justice" and "laws", because there are "laws" in the operation of all things!
