~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I am not from a Christian background. Dad is a Buddhist and mum is a free-thinker. By all means that my brothers and I are not from any religious background.
Since many years back, around 7-8 years, I have attended various churches, temples to find and resolve the doubts i have. Yet, i have come to know our Lord, Jesus Christ when i am around 13 years old. And since then, my life has never been the same again. The moment when i am convicted to accept a God into my life, i have already committed myself and made up the decision to follow through and offer my life wholly to Him.
My two brothers, Roger and Morgan have also come to know and accept Jesus Christ as their personal saviour and Lord many years ago.
All these years, one of my consistent prayers is to pray for my parents to come to know the Lord personally. I know that the gospel is not for me only, but is for my parents too. As the phrase reads,
"AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD". Yes, this is what i strongly believed in and hoping one day it will come to past.
I keep praying and praying and praying at all times. Tears sometimes just roll down my cheek when this burden strikes my heart. When i know deep down in my heart that i really want my prayer to be answered one day.
A few weeks and months back, when i have just reached home from school, i saw a Holy Bible placed beside my laptop. Filled with much curiosity, i asked mum why is this Bible doing at here? And mum told me that she has been reading it when she's free.
At that instant, i went speechless. I couldn't recall when was the last time i saw mum read bible, and now mum is reading bible?! Of 'cos, i was absolutely filled with great joy. A joy that gives me real security and peace. Surely, mum knows that there's a God and this God can be found in the Holy Bible.
It has been already weeks since i am dwelling with much burden and sadness in my heart. Mum is worried for my brother in Tasmania. Many times mum keeps telling me of how worried she is. How restless she is. Every time when mum tells me this, i don't know how to reply, i don't know what to say, but to constantly listen to mum's heart cry. It hurts.
Truly, i can sense mum's love and care towards my brothers. Her children.
Many times, mum prays that God will bless and give my brother, a good health, good in study, free from all harm, and can find a good job when back to Kuching. These sentences keep uttering out from mum's mouth. And believing firmly that there's a God to trust.
Mum is worry because elder bro is the first among us to leave Kuching and go to such a far place to study. Dad is not around with us for months. Yes, this burden has become a worry and perturbation and restlessness to my mum. And now, even to me.
Mum told me that she cannot sleep well, rest well and often wake up in the middle of the night when think upon this concern. I don't know how to comfort mum, i don't know how to encourage my mum, what i have done is to comfort my mum and tell her that everything will be fine. I will pray with my mum.
It's really melancholy and weeping to hear such heart cry from my own mum. The burden and perturbation carry on mum's shoulders.
~*Acts 16:31*~
They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household."I will pray and i will keep praying for my family. My parents, my brothers. Pray that God will give mum a comfort, peace and assurance.
