Where you go, I go




 In the start of the year, some resolutions were being made and one of them is to try and bless people wherever I go. That every day I would never fail to wear on the joy and peace from my Abba and pass that love and kindness on. I think its called 'value-adding'. 
Yes, I want to be a value-adder to the people I meet. 

Every morning I would say a prayer for God to direct my steps so that I will be able to meet someone's need or just brighten up their day by letting them know they are loved. 

Of course it's exciting but nerve-wrecking at the same time.. to sometimes go up to a complete stranger and bless them. But the smiles and conversations that I get so far makes it worth it. It makes your realize that people just need a little more acceptance in their lives and that God has given you that grace to do so.

There was a very grumpy old man serving me as I was buying something. He was practically snarling at me as I fumbled for my coins. I (am only human) wanted to just dump my money into his hands and walk off with a 'Tsk' because of his bad attitude.
But as I was handing the money over, I felt that he might be having a bad day and so was acting this way. I decided to reach into my bag where I'd stored up an angbao (with 2 chocolate coins and a bible verse of prosperity to bless someone).
I gave him the angbao with a big smile and my loudest 'Gong xi fa cai, uncle!'
And wow, his face lighted up.
He started smiling and even chuckled as he thanked me for the angbao.
I told him that it was not real money, but just gold choc coins.
He said he knows its chocolates but his granddaughter likes them.
Then he waved bye to me as I continued on to my train.

This song best sums it up:



"My hands, my feet, my everything, my life, my love.. Lord, use me."
