I am so thankful to God for giving me some people who love and care about me. I am thankful to God for giving me students who can help me to grow as a better person. They shared to me about PUSH last week. I did not know it before. They really enjoyed sharing about PUSH idea.
Every morning we always have a devotional time together. We read Bible, pray together and share about all things. Last week when we discussed about forgiving people and praying for people who hurt us, I gave a question to my kids. "What should I do to a friend who keeps hurting me? Honestly, I am tired to have this situation. A friend of mine keeps asking me to forgive her but she keeps hurting me. I have been praying for her but I can't see any positive things in my relationship with her as a friend anymore. What should I do as a Christian?"
The answer I got from my kids is really touched my heart. They told me about PUSH idea. They said, "Push, Miss Jojo. Push! Don't be tired!" I did not understand what they meant. Then, I told them as a child of God, we may not 'push' or hurt anyone. Then, one of my students, Amanda, told me what PUSH is. "Miss, PUSH is good. Pray until something happens. We learned about PUSH in Religion Education Class last week." And, the other students looked so excited telling me more about PUSH idea :-)
Ohh, God! It was really a good answer. God reminded me through my students to keep being positive. I feel blessed to have them in my life. I trust God more when I really realized that HE sends me great people always in my life even though I still could meet people who hate or do not like me.
I believe that God use my little students to 'mold' me so that I could keep growing to have a strong character in HIM. I realized that it is never easy to face the difficulties in my life but I will trust HIM more who always gives me the strength, wisdom, peace and joy.
