A message from God through a Thai boy

Last Saturday 10 July,I had a really memorable experience at the APTC, as josh and i was attached with the thailand national tchoukball team, holding a role like a "befriender/liaison" personnel, as they came down singapore for the Asia Pacific Tchoukball Competition (APTC). It was really quite an experience for me as i tried my best to converse with them with as simple english as possible and me with no thai language background at all! It was pretty funny bringing them in the Mrt train to woodlands from Serangoon when a fellow thai stranger heard them talking and suddenly on the spot made friends with them & decided to follow us to the tournament too! Somehow the world seems so small at that point!

Anyways what I really wanted to share was what i believed was a divine appointment, when one of them nickname "kayda" shared with me his life testimony, and what he said encouraged me so so much!!! It was like WORDs direct from God thru him to me! Although he use very simple english, somehow i could understand everything he said! He was someone who was change by God at a very young age of 9 & had the calling to go to bible college and become a missionary! I still remember the sincerity in his eyes when he shared how he met God that day and cried when God touched his heart! He than started to share from his heart with me and reminded me of how much God love us, and how His grace has set us free! It was such simple words but a very powerful meaning behind! He kept mentioning so much on how if not for the awesome grace of God he would not be there sharing that testimony to me. God's grace is the one that change him and I wld definitely say change me too! We do not deserve that grace, but our Lord still decided to freely give it to us because HE FIRST LOVE US! Hearing all those really set this deep peace in my heart and reminded me so much on how much GOD love all of us! I could really see God in that young 19 yr old boy as he really has a heart to reach out to his tribe in chiang mai and it was so encouraging to see God working in him! =) =) After that very day with him, i now desire to go to Thailand one day again to meet him and the others that i got to know that very day.

⁸For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— ⁹not by works, so that no one can boast. ¹⁰For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.Ephesians 2:8-10 (New International Version)
