Last week while I talking with G on the phone, she said she got something for me. So when T and I went to her place last Tue, I got this SE J105. I knew she wanted to have a new mobile as she would renew her contract and got a good deal before she went to CA. So I was a bit surpised when she gave this to me. Even though I said she could give me her old one (still quite new) and keep this brand new one if she insisted. And she insist to give me this one. This is the most valuable gift I have ever got (if you know what I mean). Every gift is valuable for me actually, it doesn't matter how much it costs. Even a little fish from the river is a wonderful gift for me . Things behind those gifts- friendship and care from friends are far more valable than the gift itself and I wouldn't change it for anything. Without love and care, gifts are just gifts without any meaning.
Anyway on the email she wrote that God remind her to give this to me and she said God is doing something on me. At first I had no idea why God want to give me this gift as my old one is still working. It only get basic functions and is 7 years old but still working. It's also a breakthrough for me to recieved such a valuable gift. I am not used to recieve gifts even from parents, and they don't give gifts. They have never been the kind of parents whom would spoil their kids and I think it's pretty good. Recieving gifts always made me feel like I own ppl something which I should return it back. After asking G for few days, an idea strike me. Well, maybe God just wanted to show me His love and grace. He is not only provids us our basic needs in life but His love and grace is overflow. "And" it's free to give. Besides, maybe what God want me to learn how to recieve. Recieve His love and grace freely, I don't need to earn it and I can't earn it. It's a gift and it's unconditional. All I need to learn is to recieve it. Stop working hard! Just be a kid! Recieve the blessing!
我想神除了要像我顯明祂的愛與恩典
祂不只供應我的需要,祂也要祝福我
或許更要我學習接受-這從來都不是一件容易的事,對我而言
但神只要我單單接受並且享受祂的祝福,恩典和愛
那我就開心領受神的祝福吧
