I just came back from an awesome country, Nepal. I stayed with a lovely family. I was there for 2 months. Wow! Time flies. Here is a picture that I took from my room at a roof top. Since I am not a person who likes to take photo so this picture may be the best that I have. Hahaha. I had a great time there. But it's also a time of learning and struggling for me. I have learned that when God calls us, He may not be interested in the work, ministry or what we could do for Him but rather He is interested in building and making us to be a person who has His character.
When I felt God calls me to Nepal, I wanted to serve Him and do for Him. But when I was there, I can't encourage, teach or minister to the people there. I felt disappointed and complained to God that why He calls me here if I can't do a single thing. But His voice was so gently and replied me that because He is interested in moulding and building me up so that I will have His character and shine forth His glory to the people around me. My prayer is that I will be changed into His character. I am glad to say that when He calls He is interested in us more than anything!

He calls because He cares

He has a good plan for us
1Ki 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the sojourners of
1Ki 17:2 And the Word of Jehovah came to him, saying,
1Ki 17:3 Go away from here and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, before
1Ki 17:4 And it shall be, you shall drink of the brook. And I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.
1Ki 17:5 So he went and did according to the Word of Jehovah. For he went and lived by the torrent Cherith, before
God told Elijah to hide himself by the brook Cherith and drink of the brook. He did what the Lord told him.
1Ki 17:6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the torrent.
1Ki 17:7 And it happened after a while, the torrent dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
Perhaps, our brook, where we find joy and love, may dried up. And we may think, what have I done wrong? Or we even condemn ourselves when some thing didn't go in our plan. I have a good news! Don't loose heart because our God knows what will happen and He has prepared a good plan, a better plan we can say, for us!
Remember, the next thing that God does will be better thing than the last thing He did.
1Ki 17:8 And the Word of Jehovah came to him, saying,
1Ki 17:9 Arise, go to Zarephath which belongs to
Then God told Elijah to go to Zarephath because He has prepared a place for him. When it seems our brook dried up, God got another better plan for us. The brook dried up didn't surprise God, nor made Him worries because He knows our future! Because before the brook dried up, God already has a plan for us!!

Live for Him
Tonight, when I was worshiping and praying. I felt so happy to know that if I were gone now, I will be with the One who loves me. What a joy to know that our life is to be with our Father. Our destiny is to spend time with Him. May be I just understand a little bit when Paul said in Php 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Some how I felt relieved to know that what I face in this world is not permanent, but it's just temporary! I need not to over concern about issue of life, not that I am pushing away my responsibility but what I am saying is this whatever we can't do anything, just let it goes. Let go and let God!
Life is so short. We can live for ourselves or for Him. I used to do whatever I like to do but somehow I felt empty in what I had done.
Jer 2:5 So says Jehovah, What injustice have your fathers found in Me, that they have gone far from Me and have walked after vanity, and have become vain?
The Israelite had gone from God and walked after vanity and they had become vain. I don't want to walk after vanity and I, myself become vanity. I want to walk in His way and walk after Him.
