Paul Wu said...

There was a time in my life that I felt the light of Christ to be unbearably bright. A time that I had wished to be left alone to dwell in my own darkness, where no one could see, where no one would care. I wonder how many young people had felt, or are currently feeling the same way?

Darkness is not a fun place to be. After the so call initial 'sense of freedom' dies down, you are left with guilt, fear, uncertainty, and loneliness - while knowing that God sees everything that I do.

That is also where 'grace' is so wonderful. Yes God sees, and God understands. Through the testimony of Christ, we also know that God forgives and accepts who we are.

In verse 16, the phrase 'grace upon grace' takes on a special meaning for Christians, who in their best efforts, still find themselves sinking in the darkness.

The light of Christ is for you also, as it was for me. Faith is not just a set of rules to follow. There is a true freedom in Christ. No one can claim to be perfect and blameless, as we are all broken in some way. But I know that in Christ, I am not alone.

p.s. Thanks Daisy, for translating.

Prayer request:
- I would like to ask you guys to pray for me as I am still struggling and trying to manage my time properly. I have been fully committed to playing basketball and serving in a sports ministry with other youths from different churches in Montreal. As a result, it is taking a lot of my time and I'm trying to balance that with my studying. Pray that God may grant all of the students efficiency while studying and to be productive.

- Also would ask if you guys could all pray for Hernan. He seems to be missing home already. Pray that God may send angels around him so that he may feel love, joy and peace from God.
