I was praying last night and before I ended my prayer, I asked God if He has anything to speak to me. Well, He just reminded me of Moses again. Remember Moses went up to pray for 40 days 40 nights before coming down with the 2 tablets of stones written with the 10 Commandments? The story didn't just end there. He came down, saw the Children of Israel sinning against God AGAIN. He was so angry that he threw the tablets on the floor and broke them. After that, he went up to pray for ANOTHER 40 days 40 nights. I learnt quite a lot from this story.
1. We ought to pray and keep on praying.
2. Sometimes even after much praying, we may not see what we desire to see and there will
still be disappointments.
3. It's ok to be angry, but after the anger, keep praying.
4. Moses' love for the people is so deep that he did not give up praying for them.
To sum it all, God just wants us to know that our love for people has to grow. It is only when we love them so much that we'll keep on praying for them and want to see them saved in the kingdom of God. Men are not perfect. Along the way, there will definitely be disappointments. However, if we love them, continue to pray for them. I have to increase my love for the people. This is an area that God keeps speaking to me for the past few months! I better do something about it. How? I guess only prayer can change things. I must pray and ask God to fill me with His love. Only when I am filled with His love, then I'll be able to spread His love to others.
