                                  Jesus loves you and dwells in you by the Holy Spirit. 

                            He is with you, talks to you and walks with you every day.

              God’s calling is irrevocable. Once you had baptized and accepted Him as your savior. He is with you; He talks to you, and walks with you inwardly by the Holy Spirit. Each hymn and worship songs you have been worshiping in the Church or the message you had preached and delivered, it became the song of salvation and divine power in time of deliverance. Don’t neglect the gift of God within in you. Whatever the talents that God has laid in you, keep using the talents to serve the Lord. You and I are living stones, and are being built up together as spiritual house into a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. When you doubt of your salvation and the purpose of life, just keep reminding yourself, “You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired for a possession, so that you may tell out the virtues of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”(1 Pet.2:9).

              Today, I met a woman who is 83 years old and had cancer when she was 30 years old. She was smoker, after she had surgery and removed the organ, she was cancer survived more than 50 years. She told me that she didn’t go to church after she had cancer, but she had joined the Choir team and taught the Bible in the Church when she was young. I was surprised her openness and her life experiences. God let me met her in a McDonald restaurant for reason. I responded her,                 

“Jesus loved you so much, each song you had sung to worship him, He was mindful and    listened to you. Jesus healed you and prolonged your life more than 50 years for purpose. Today, you and I sit here together in God’s timing without arrangement or appointment which means Jesus is with you, He loves you.” 

While I was talking to her, her eyes were full of tears.

“Perhaps, Jesus wants you live longer until 90 years old or 100 years old, and He wants you to quit smoking. For the cigarette will block the heart artery. For you are one of living stone and we all build up together as Spiritual house, Christ is head of this house.”

After our conversation, we were hugged each other. No matter, she will quit smoking or not, I prayed for her that Jesus will enable her keep trusting in the Lord.

              My friends, Are you doubting of your life purpose? Do you not know Jesus is living God and keep talking to you and you are one of living stone?  As New Testament in the Rev.1:6; 5:10; 1 Pet.2:5, 9 indicate that God has returned to His original intention according to His economy, in that He has made all believers in Christ priests. In other words, “In the proper church life there should be neither clergy nor laity; all believers should be priests of God.” As scriptures say, “You yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house into a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” (1 Pet.2:5). “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, (In Chinese literally says, “唯有你們是蒙揀選的族類是君尊的祭師體系...”) a holy nation, a people acquired for a possession, so that you may tell out the virtues of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”(1 Pet.2:9). “And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood, and made us a kingdom, priests to His God and Father, to Him be the glory and the might forever and ever. Amen.” (Rev. 1:5-6)
