Glad to be blessed spiritually
Thursday, 19/10/2006
In the first half of this month, people came to visit Pastor Li and pray for him almost every day. Some are his intimate comrades in the spiritual warfare, some are family members while some are brothers and sisters who care about him in our church. What’s more, there are regards sent to us by phones, comforting and blessing words sent by emails. Although I noticed that he might feel quite tired at times and face the risk of getting infected, it was a very good kind of treatment from the patient’s perspective as he got comforted in his spirit and emotion. He found hope in his spirit. Today, he wants to share this with you:
Mrs. Li asked me to stop the home visit starting from today so that I could take full rest and avoid of getting infected. This week, I’ve been particularly reading the Book of Job. I didn’t have full understanding on this book in the past, but now I personally experience it. The several friends of Job, in particular, wanted to give support to Job initially, but turned out to argue with him over the reason for his suffering later. Therefore, Job said that they were a group of useless doctors! I deeply feel that to ask a seriously ill patient the reason for his illness, pursuing for his progress etc. will influence the patient’s emotion. Instead, a simple blessing prayer and cordial greetings are already enough.
Besides, I have read a book called ‘Believing God’, which starts from the point in Chapter 11 of Hebrews, describing how different historical figures relied on God. My spirit was much strengthened by it. At the present stage, my daily timetable is worshipping, praying, eating and sleeping. I will say this is indeed the king’s way of life!
