I felt graceful and peaceful in the coffee shop because I had been losing the warming love inside my heart for a long time after reading bible and listening poetries. I didn’t know whether I had qualified value that Jesus wanted to save us by sacrificing his life. Furthermore, I was just a man full of sin that always argued how hard the difficulties in front of me, however he still used his blood and the glory above the cross to reverse our life to more plentiful confine. Why does he think that we worth him to do that? If I reflect to myself, can I do such things to other people? It’s too hard to answer…
I still worried about lots of to-do list because I always delayed the schedule in my plan day day after day. I realized how I weak in front of you, even I could’t stand up… I will carry on walking notwithstanding how difficult the way you want me to do, hence giving me more power and intelligence to confront difficulties and reminding me to be humble day by day. Giving all glory to our god. A-Men.
