if you do not already know, i have a personal assistant and he is Jon Liew from my church. i think its funny how i became his boss and him my PA. but i would say this relationship has served us well! it is one of those few close friendships which i really enjoy. not bcos he does anything for me, (he is my PA but he doesnt do what a PA does for me..lol!), but i really enjoy his company and his brotherly affection for me. yes i say it unbashedly. ;)
tonight i met him for dinner, and i'm so glad to hear him speak of the many lessons he learnt in retreat. Not so much the lessons that amaze me, but the transformation in his lifestyle, heart and attitude towards God just wowed me! he told me that now he does his quiet time daily and has such a hunger for God that he prays more and just wants to be like David, a man after God's heart! He is also learning to submit and surrender issues in his life to God and wanting God to be involved in his life! Something which has not been the case for a long long time. And it is also amazing to him that he knows all these rekindled desires and hunger for God does not come from himself! He recognises they are God-given. and God had shown him the condition of his heart and is moving him back to serve in ministry. God rekindled his desire to serve in the children church! And God has made the way for him to do that.
in his own words, "God is slowly changing my heart."
Praise the Lord!
as i listen to him, my heart just leaps with joy! and i am excited at what i am hearing! i am so happy for him that God has revealed these things to him and is changing his heart! Aint that wonderful? i rejoice with him! and i embrace the new Jon! :) i see him maturing, and growing in Christlikeness and i thank God for His work in Jon! Its really worth celebrating and somethingto be excited about! And i am glad he sees God at work in his life! :)
i find it so amazing but definitely not surprising! Because our God is a God who can transform hearts.
and as i look at Jon's tranformation, i pray this to be so for those of you who are far from God. Always know that God loves you and wants to be part of your life. No matter how far your heart has been from Him, he is able to restore, renew and transform your heart, if you would open up your heart to Him. He is waiting for you.
