After a long day at work, and a long ride home…God suddenly placed a burden in my heart to pray for China.
I guess it started early that evening while listening to an audio preaching and the Pastor shared a vision he had for China 50 years ago.
It was like a spark on something that has been planted in my heart 10 years ago, when I attended a prayer meeting and heard about the on going mission work in China.
I was a young college student that time, with no ‘burden’ for missions. I just wanted to pass my Calculus and Chemistry that time. But the missionary from China gave a powerful talk, that I was convinced to subscribed in their monthly newsletter and pray for the nation. I still have the chopstick that they gave to remind of my prayer commitment.
And today, it was as if God placed a fuel on that spark to set my heart on fire. The burden came on the bus…and I was literally in tears for China.
I realized that indeed it is only the Lord who can placed a genuine burden for a nation. It cannot be fabricated, it is only His love for that nation shared to His children. I felt a genuine, pure and patient love for the nation. It was an enduring love that will never give up until the very end.
I guess this is a start of something new for me. Something different in the way I pray for this nation. Now let me begin…on my knees
