Only God

Sometimes God just blows me away.

Not literally, of course. 

But rather, His awesomeness.

His sovereignty. 

His timelessness. 

His ability to use broken vessels to glorify His name.

And for allowing the broken vessels to eventually see the weaving of God's hand throughout their past.

I would like to introduce you to Jonathon.

I first met Jonathon during a typhoon in 1990. The wind was blowing. Heavy rain was falling. Yet, he somehow managed to drive to our Sunday afternoon English rally. Even after a brick was blown through his windshield, he pressed onward.

I couldn't figure out why we didn't cancel the service. Surely no one would show up with a typhoon causing havoc. I was seeing the situation with human eyes.

That day Jonathon became my brother in Christ. 

Shortly thereafter, Jonathon began attending my higher level English class. He also became a regular attendee of my English Bible study. As a young christian, he desired others to come to know the Lord. He arranged with his boss for me to come to his company once a week and lead an English class using the bible as its text. He truly had a heart for the Lord.

Today I had the privilege of worshiping in his church. 

And hearing him preach a fantastic spirit led sermon.
