I am very grateful to several brothers in Christ who, despite their busy schedules, not only read my last article but also gave me valuable opinions! So I wrote this short postscript. This is also a gift I want to leave behind and give to my family and beloved relatives. I hope that one day, you can find the God who saved me from death to life in the footprints I left. , what kind of God is He. I can’t explain it to you in detail nowadays, but I do want to write down my God’s kindness to you. I leave it to you who I love deeply in my soul.
In the last article, I shared how the Lord taught me to learn to listen to the way He spoke to me. I just wanted readers to know that God will talk to the world, so I wrote it down. My readers, if you have just accepted the Lord Jesus as your Savior, or if your mind goes blank after reading my previous article, please forget what I shared in the previous article. My experiences may be too complicated for you and they may not be suitable for you. This is valuable advice given to me by a brother in Christ, and it is also the same idea given to me by my Lord during meditation. My Lord does not have many requirements for the young believers. As long as we reject evil and choose good, He will have glory, and that’s it. Forget about the dialogues I shared about talking to God. This may be better for you now. Until one day in the future, the Holy Spirit reminds you of the experience I shared. Perhaps then, it will be the Holy Spirit’s call to you. If you forget it all your life and the Holy Spirit does not remind you, then what I share will not be the medium used by the Holy Spirit to call you.
The footprints I leave behind in the last article are in the hope that someone will start out on their own and be willing to look for patterns in God’s conversation with them. It is not intended to sell readers a “quick lunch set” for talking to God. In this world, there is no such crash course in emotional cultivation. Once you know it, you can graduate without putting any effort into the relationship. Everyone must start by themselves to search for God and find ways for the Lord to communicate with him so that he will not eat other people’s recipes and feel uncomfortable and out of place because they are not the recipes he found by himself and are not suitable for his own taste. Or if the Lord is willing, some readers can learn from my experience. On the journey to find God, they encounter the doubts I have experienced, and the Holy Spirit reminds him/her of my sharing. I hope the Lord can use them to teach others, leading others through the doubts and difficulties in the process of searching for God and walking with God throughout their lives. Readers, please do not misunderstand, this is not a question of whether a Christian is saved or not, it is a question of whether the soul has peace in the Lord. I believed in the Lord for more than thirty years. Before I repented, I only confessed Jesus as Lord in front of others, but in my heart, I had no reliance and was afraid of death. In my daily life, I did not think about where I would go after death. But when encountering difficulties or dangers, I find that deep down in my heart, I don’t know where I will go after leaving this world. Later, when I read 1 Corinthians 15:19, I discovered that at that time, I only had hope in this life. Just as the Holy Spirit said to believers through the apostle Paul in Hebrews 2:14-15, I am still a slave to the fear of death all my life. At that time, many Christians around me said to me, “You must have faith, you have passed from death to life.” But deep in my soul, I still longed to ask the Lord, why, and I was still afraid to die? This is the Lord’s way in my heart calling me to seek Him. The way the Lord calls me is not necessarily the way the Lord calls others to seek Him through the Holy Spirit. How does the true God who created heaven and earth call you and how does he get along with you? I discovered that whether I have hope or not to meet the Creator in person, it may not necessarily be able to measure how long I have served in the church, how many years of fellowship I have attended, how many years of Bible studies you have completed, or how many years the other God’s people appreciate your “faithfulness” as a measure. Only I, after experiencing certain things, will truly know what I think deep inside. Only when I found the Lord Jesus who died on the cross for me (actually after the Lord came to find me personally) did I truly know that He is the living and true God. He is not just heard in the church and not only belongs to others. God is then my Lord and my God.
I hope that readers will find the God who loves them and that their lives will never be like mine in the past. May the Lord allow readers to find Him, and He delights in His people seeking Him. To this end, I am called, to share this good news, in the hope that some will set out to find their own Lord, their own God. I’m not talking about finding an idol who does everything according to our own pleasant will, but the true and living God who created the heavens and the earth and all things. The prophet Isaiah called our Creator “The everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth” I hope One day, I will be able to call God “My Master” without any shame, but His own noble, loving and fearful name is “Lord God, the Almighty”!
