I am blessed! I am so blessed by the joy that a child can give. By the joy of seeing prayers answered. By the joy of seeing dreams coming into fulfillment. I am so blessed by seeing God's will being fulfilled in His own time. I am so blessed.
It is a joy of knowing that you are in His will and calling, and seeing the promises and purposes coming to pass before your very eyes. I am blessed!
This child came to the party today. And I praise God! I am overjoyed! It is really something that I am so happy about that I doubt any of the other teachers could understand. It was heartwarming seeing him blend into the crowd of children. It was heartwarming seeing his peers helping him. It was heartwarming seeing how people reacted to his 'different' funny antics. It was heartwarming just seeing him being whom God has created Him to be.
People who may not know me, I work fulltime with children. They are the only motivation that make me travel 3 crazy hours a day to work, even though I hate being packed up like sardines in the trains. I must say, my rewards really comes from the satisfaction of serving these children and seeing their life being transformed. It is trully amazing to see God in these little ones.
It is coming to two years now. I remember I used to wonder, why God did You created them? Which part of You is in them Lord?
Recently I just realized these verses....
Jesus heals a man born blind.
John 9:2 “Teacher”, his disciples asked Him. “why was this man born blind?” was it a result of his own sins or those of his parents?”
John 9:3 “It was not because of his sins or his parent's sins” Jesus answered “He was born blind so the power of God could be seen in him”
So that the power of God could be seen in him.......
I realized that these people really need God, and that His power really could be seen in them. Really, really, really....... so the power of God could be seen in them...... the power of God in the 'weak'.... it is awesome.
There are a few people whom i am inspired by and really their life do reflect what is written in the scriptures.
1 Corinth 1:27 “Instead, God deliberately chose things the world consider foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose those who are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important, so that no one can boast in the presence of God.”
1 Corinth 1:31 “The person who wishes to boast, should boast only of what the Lord has done. “
Who would have thought that someone who is quadriplegic in a wheelchair, unable to use her hands could be used by God to travel so many parts of the world to share her life stories, to preach and to advocate. Who would have thought that someone born without hands and legs could be used by God to inspire and to motivate school children, touching and changing their lives. Who would have thought that someone who is made disabled by a sickness could be used by God to start social works to serve the poor and needy. Who would have thought?
These 3 life are of real people. Real people whom I am inspired by and sometimes in awe and in wonder of the mysteries of God. God can use anyone, just about anyone who is willing.
I believe the children whom i serve, God can use them. So many times their life have touched and blessed me to see the wonders and goodness of God. I have read and hear of so many testimonies and stories of parents whom if they have an option, they would still choose to have their child with special needs in their life. They can't think of how life could be any better without their special needs child.
I am blessed. I can't think of how my life would have been any better without having to meet and serve these children. Trully i am blessed!
