The Heavenly Man

I'm always excited when payday comes. First, I'm gonna be able to eat some good food (for real ^_^), second, I'm gonna be able to buy some cool stuff, third I'm gonna be able to share some of it to my fam and lastly, I'm gonna be able to buy some really worth reading books!

I never realize that I'm slowly collecting a dozen of books! From fiction, to autobiographies, to suspense, I even got a dozen of Archie comics too! It seems that my passion for reading is slowly taking place.

When I became a Christian, I've started buying books that will help me know more about God. My most precious book of all would be my Bible (TEV). I first got my own one last Feb (of this year). Since then, I became hooked to it. It was the most amazing thing I ever bought. I also purchased the Purpose Driven by RIck Warren, Chicken Soup, What Matters Most, Roadtrip, How to mend a Broken heart, I kissed dating goodbye (which I got from my sister) and so much more. And lately, I purchased a new one entitled: The Heavenly Man. It was a true story from a preacher from China. It talks about the man's conversion, calling, suffering, persecution and deep faith in Jesus.

It is such an amazing story to read (I encourage you to get a copy and be moved as well on how God uses this man to spread the Good News in China). It highlights God's magnificent power, love, greatness & the man's unshaken faith.

While reading this book, I once asked myself, "Will I ever be like this man?, will I ever be as bold, courageous, faithful, humble as he is?" I feel like crying after I asked that to myself. I always thought that I'm already doing some great work for my Lord, (I know God pays attention to everything that we're doing for His kingdom) but I feel guilty because I know deep inside my heart that I'm not as dedicated as this man. I'm still struggling, still attached to this world, still longing for something.

I know there is a reason for everything. And I know that God wanted me to read this book and realize that I'm here for a purpose. For His purpose.

I'm not yet done reading this book, but I know God is speaking to me through it. I wanted to become like Brother Yun (the preacher), Sister Juan, and Deling. I know one day, I'm gonna be used by God to speak boldly about His Son. Soon, we will all be called to fulfill our purpose here on earth like the Heavenly Man...
