I can’t imagine, people who don’t know God, how can they say that they have found a so-called “True Love”. Come on world! Wake up! True Love is right here. At the Cross. At the prayer away!
…This man is my chosen instrument … (Acts 9:15)
When I read about of Paul (Saul)’s conversion, I was overwhlemed by the grace of God. God doesn’t set any specific criteria for the one that He wants to choose to be His servant. As we all know, Paul used to prosecuted Christian but after the encounter with God, he is now a godly apostle, the one who brings a great encouragement to all of us through his life’s example everytime we read about him.
How can one wicked person completely turn to be a godly person! Not just that, he also a God’s chosen instrument. He doesn’t just became a Christian, He became a God’s chosen one too. As for us, it is a great privillege to become a Christian. To be called chridren of God. But It would be even more privillege to be called “God’s chosen instrument”.
Why don’t we start to live a life that desire to be used by God ? Live a life worthy of His call for our life. We only have one life to live and soon we will depart from this world. Let’s make this life memorable by serving Him and be His chosen instrument. God doesn’t set any specific criteria. You don’t need to go through an interview process to become God’s servant! He is not an employer but a Father. All He needs is your willingness.
I long for God to say to me “Jimmie Thongkul is my chosen instrument” It would be an honour to hear that. What about you?
I got a job already. Thank God. Truly this is a fast provision. I’m now employed full-time as an Accountant at the Medical Centre in a faraway suburb - Albany Creek, called AlbanyCare. In fact, I feel more like a nurse than an accountant because I hear babies cry everyday at work when they receiving immunisation. Interestingly, I still have to associate with nurses and doctors both In life group, in workplace! HAHA. May be God wants me to be a nurse? Oops!
It took me 40 mins every morning to get to my workplace. Thank God that my job starts at 9.00am. I can catch the 8.15 bus and reach there just on time. (Hmm can someone buy me a car? 
) This is my first week of a working life and I’m still adjusting myself to it. No more random laundary, no more random cookings, no more random buying grocery. I need to be more organised. If i don’t do laundary properly, I will have no underwear to wear in the next morning. If I don’t cook in a timely manner, it means that I will not have anything to eat during the week since my full-time working hours prevent me from doing a random grocery shoppings.
This job is my 21st BD gift from God. On my 21st BD, I asked God to provide me with a full-time accounting job within the month of May, and amazingly, I got this job offer on 29th May. God always faithful to us as we choose to first be faithful to Him. Through this job, God teaches me to be more organised, He teaches me to appreciate my parents more. Most importantly, He teaches me to be a real ADULT! Truly, it is a privillege to be working at this age of 21. I still cannot believe myself that I am now working in Australia with Australian people. This is out of my expectation. Our God always do something out of our expectation. He is a Man of surprise. I don’t take any credit for this. No No! Not at all! I’m just a “nothing Jimmie” but He makes me an “everything Jimmie” for His name sake.
My only prayer these days is for me to be effective for God or be EVEN MORE effective for God than what I used to be, although I’m working Full-Time now. May I be effective in looking after God’s flock too. All in all, I live this life to serve Him. No matter how busy I am, may I always remind myself that His business comes first. This is also my prayer for all of us in Daniels - for students and workers – to always put God first before all things.
I love God, I thank God for His provision. My firstfruits is for Him!
