this and that
Freedom
I bought the blue parking permit last week. It is awesome! I feel I can go anywhere anytime I want to. Though it is kind of pricy, it is totally worth it.
It made me think of the freedom that God gives to us. He sent his son to pay the price for us so that we can have a choice not to be slaves to worldly desires. No matter how messed up we might have been, and no matter how high the price was, he thinks we are worthy.
Difference
Only a few people came to CC last week. I have been wondering what God's plan is for this group. It was a little bit sad and discouraging, although I think Brian has done a good job and I have a lot of respect for him.
However, I have decided that I will keep going until the day I leave AA. It is true that we don't share too much of the good news there, but it did provide a place for some people to connect and learn English.
One guy told me that he came to the building the week when there was no meeting. He said he suspected, but he didn't want to miss it if there was one. I saw a soul yearning for community and friendship, and I am glad that we can serve this way.
Touching one single soul could be all the difference we need to achieve.
Compassion
The other night I talked to my mom. She shared with me a few concerns about my family. After I hung up the phone, I couldn't help thinking how broken we all are. For a moment, I felt the urge to take up all the burdens from my family so that they could live a worry-free life.
And then I thought about Jesus. When he died for us, how strong his compassion for us must be! He sees us as his family, he knows us personally, and he wants to free us from our sins and brokenness.
I felt deeply connected with him. And so grateful for what he has done for me.
