Sharing is Caring

“My heart is steadfast, O God”         [Psalms 57]         This Monday morning, I was at home with my youngest daughter Karis, and we watched a cartoon called “Cailou”.   While watching the cartoon, we saw a child named Cailou planted a tree with his father and worried about the tree because the wind was blowing.   At that time, Cailou's father came to help Cailou by bringing a still and tied it with the tree so that the planted tree wouldn’t be shaken.   That scene came into my mind during the Mother’s Day morning prayer meeting.   As I thought about the scene, I thought of becoming the stick that was tied together next to the tree to my children at home.   In other words, I prayed to God that I should be strong support for my children like that stick so that they will not be shaken.     After reading the book ‘Who is the Father?’(by Jong Yoon Kim), there were these two writings among th...

Christian heart management       “Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life” (Proverbs 4:23).                           There is still an unforgettable event.   A mother, whom I know, was shot to death when she ran out of her store in following a robber who came into her store and stole her money.   The money the robber stole from the store was $100.   It was an absurd event.   Of course, I don't think she went after the robber to keep $100 because it could be a momentary reaction.   However, one precious life died for just $100.   Too many people seem to give their whole strength, heart, and sincerity to keep money.   I think we are doing whatever we can to protect money in this materialistic world.   What's even more frightening is the fact that we are throwing away our hea...

‘When my heart is faint’       [Psalms 61]                     These days, I am reading a book called "The Christian Warfare" by Pastor Lloyd Jones.   The reason I am reading this book is because I felt the need to know more about the spiritual warfare as I was sharing stories of Job and about the Satan’s forces with my beloved co-worker.   According to Rev. Lloyd Jones, who also talked about the book of Job, said that the devil clearly had some power over nature.   As an example, when Satan began to strike Job under God's permission, one of Job's servants came to Job and saw that his ox and donkey had been taken away, and the servants were dead.   “While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, ‘The fire of God fell from the sky and burned up the sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!’” (Job 1:16). ...

‘The living should take this to heart’         [Ecclesiastes 7:1-4]     ​   ​               On Thursday, April 20, 2008, there was interesting news in South Korea YTN 11 o'clock night news.   The news was about some people taking pictures for their funerals, writing their last will letters, reading that letters in a mortuary room.   I saw most of them crying when they were reading down their letters.   Not only did they read down their letters, but they actually went into their coffins in the mortuary room.   Then the other person slowly poured the soil over the coffin with a shovel.   When I was watching that moment I thought if a person who was inside the coffin heard that sound of the soil, he would probably felt real about his death.   The response of those who experienced their dying process was "I wanted to live more."   And the...

Day 1: Those who are pure in heart         [Psalms 73 ]                     Once, when I bought a new car, I advised my children not to eat in the back seat to keep it well-maintained.   For about a year, I was able to keep the car clean without any issues.   However, a year later, my oldest son Dillon suddenly threw up a lot in the back seat of my car.   Perhaps he had been feeling unwell since the previous night and eventually vomited in my car.   At that moment, my oldest daughter Yeri covered her nose with her hand, complaining about the strong smell.   Even my youngest daughter Karis expressed her discomfort with the smell.   Haha.   Fortunately, there was a gas station nearby.   I quickly drove there and used towels to clean up all the food that came out of Dillon's stomach and wiped down the car floor and seats.   This i...
