Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

The gospel can only spread with love. That’s why God’s use us. Not the angels. Not also the TV or any media. The persons one to one experience is the only way to transfer the love. And when we are suffering, love inside us will be flood outside. When we are doing one to one mentoring with someone, we are investing our life to him/her. And we will become his/her father.
When we become a father/parent, we will recognize that we want our son to grow. At that rate, we will do anything to achieve that. When God bless us, what is our focus? Him or the blessings?
