The power within us

This is a story I should share with everyone. The day before I came to K.L. H, my friend text me, asking me to bring a team of Christians to the hospital in K.L to pray for her ex husband who has been suffering from colon cancer. I replied that I couldn't do that cos I didn't know any christian in K.L who would do that. Anyway, I told her I would pray for her ex husband.

So, the day when I arrived in K.L for an interview, I met this Christian lady who also came for the interview. Yeah, I was in K.L for an interview, applying for a job and then secretly prayed that I wouldn't get the job cos I just couldn't see myself working at the office again. Of course, I knew that was not the reason I was `sent' to K.L.

So,M, the christian lady, invited me to stay at her place. I felt reluctant(I really needed a place to stay) but she managed to drag me along, very persistent. Anyway, I was glad that she offered me to stay with her cos the hostel was fully booked. Then, I told her that I needed someone to go to the hospital to pray for K, H's ex husband. M immediately agreed. So, we went off to the hospital to pray for H. Strange that for the past few years, God has been using me to comfort the sick. Of course, I wouldn't be able to do that if I was alone with my own strength.

Even when I was in Bangkok two years ago, I was prompted to send this homeless French man who was suffering from some sort of severe skin cell infection ( something like that)on his leg to the hospital. Of course, I wouldn't be able to do that alone, there was a Thai lady that came along. Then, the doctor told us that he was sent on time or else, his leg would have to be amputated. We eventually contacted the French embassy cos I couldn't afford to pay for his medical bill. Thinking back, it was really crazy and at times I couldn't believe I actually did that. God's power must be at work within us.

Actually I am more than happy to do God's work as long as He continue to provide cos doing His work can be costly sometimes.

Of course, I didn't get the job cos I have a feeling that I have to be on the journey again. After spending a week in K.L. I am ready to go home now so that I can have a proper rest. Phew...
