With my long list of prayer points, He simply answered me in His
fatherly tone, “Just let go and allow me to work for you. Let me show you things that I mean to tell
you.” And I said, “Okay God, I believe
and trust You.” Hence, I went with an expectant heart.
It was a trip worth all our combined time, efforts, finances and
prayers. We engaged. We served. We
laughed. We cried. We played. We loved.
Above all, we experienced how God moved in the entire trip.
There were few times when God would speak to me in the entire trip
but the most memorable was when I was asked to help in counseling. As I ministered, God has ministered to me as
well. I felt that God was talking to me as His words became alive for me. The
enemy might have tried his best at times to confuse or condemn me especially
when I felt far from God but He reminded me again about His awesome love and
His great promise in John 10:28 “I give them eternal life, and they
shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.” This is His promise and this is my eternal security. I am glad that
my salvation does not depend on my own human effort to hold on to God but it is
through His grace, His mercy and His love.
Personally, the medical mission was an opportunity for me to bless
and serve people I do not know. At the same time, it was an avenue where God
once again assured me of my security in His grip of grace. With this, I am
eternally grateful.
