Do we deserve it?

Yesterday was a partnership with one of my spiritual bro, Jasper. We met at tampines mall with one thing in mind, to do the 100k blessings. We went to NtUC 1st to buy mineral water to bless the people who we would met. Then we prayed to the Lord, asking favour from Him that He would used us to bless those He wanted.

In my heart, frankly, i was excited!! suddenly it felt like this was a real life RPG game conquering quest for the Lord. haha. Well, I asked God to lead me specifically who could i bless. This was because i didn't want to be blessing people who i wanted, instead of God's will. He said "smokers!" So i went ahead without much hesitation. Indeed, I blessed two.

The 1st smoker who i approached was directly behind me, so i went. As we chit chat and addressed him who we were and what was our purpose, we found out that he actually has a gf who is also a Christian belonging to a church in Hougang. Ironically, his purpose there was to "kua zhui" (watch out for police) as his partner was selling VCDs down the road. haha. I continued to pray for him as his eyes still fixed onto the road. Lastly, we thanked him and while walking away, i told him that God will still bless him. wahaha. He laughed. =)

"Woohoo! God, i did it!!" this i said delightly inside my heart. it felt good. Thank God..

Shortly walking awhile, i approached the 2nd smoker. He smiled at me and was friendly. Same thing, i shared who was i and my intention. i started asking him if did he ever want to quit smoking. With a question mark face, he replied "never". It seemed like no one ever asked him to quit before. Thus, I continued to ask, "Do you have a gf, does she mind your smoking habit?" and "Do you know that smoking is bad for health?". He smiled and said yes to both. After that i was inspired to share how i myself quited the habit with God amazingly used a sergernt to catch me smoking during army. In fact, in army, everyone knows that smokers are allowed to smoke. He was amazed. This broke the ice! I told him God does care for us.

We continued with the list of blessings. i promised him that i will certainly prayed over his health everyday even before he expressed what he wanted. He was amazed by my act of commitment. He commented he really felt my sincerity and appreciated me. but as i requested to pray for him, he said this "i don't think i deserved this". oh!!! Instantly i felt God's compassion pouring into me, it was so sad. I told him that i wanted to bless you because God 1st blessed me and HE wants to bless everyone. Eventually he agreed to receive the blessing prayer. After praying, i also assured him that i believe God can do miracles and he will help him in kicking the smoking habit if he's willing. He smiled. Just before we parted, i pleased him to call me if he successfully quit the habit within one month. He agreed. haha..

I did a reflection.. God really wants to bless us. Yes, everyone!!! the 1st smoker who was a working in a business in selling pirated vcds and the 2nd smoker who was so shocked that someone not related does cared to pray for him everyday. God loves and HE cares! that's y he sent Jesus down to die for us. Do we deserve it? frankly, i don't think so but through His amazing grace we were all saved by putting our faith in believing Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour.

God, open my eyes to see you and my ears to hear you! continue to work my heart.. Let me be more compassionate for the lost..
