Today's Reading: 1 Thessalonians 1:1-2:16

Please read 1 Thessalonians 1:1-2:16 and listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ would like to tell you before reading my Spiritual Journal below. If you would like to learn a simple and good way of Daily Devotion method please read my “Count Down 5” from my Devotion on Fire blog:

 You may begin with a song to praise the Lord and complete you devotion by singing another praise song.

我們作基督的使徒，雖然可以叫人尊重，卻沒有向你們或向別人求榮耀；只在你們中間存心溫柔，如同母親乳養自己的孩子。

帖撒羅尼迦前書 2:6-7

Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others, though we could have made demands as apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children.

1 Thessalonians 2:6-7

What I got today from Jesus is: John Stott's last words to me in July 2009

What I got from Jesus today is a reminder that how He used John Stott to change my life and Uncle John's last words to me when I visited him in July 2009. You need to click the link below to my first blog to read what happened that day that Uncle John used 1 Thessalonians 2: 1-13 to teach me how to be a good bishop. My heart ached when I think of Uncle John and that I can never see him again until we meet in heaven. I gives thanks to the Lord for how Uncle John came into my life since 1991 to be one of my spiritual fathers.

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank you for giving me a chance to be with Uncle John and how you used him to change my life. Lead me to be a good mentor to follow his example to raise up more disciples for you just as he did. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
