사진: 저희들에게는 너무나도 격려가 되시는 청운교회 부쿠리더 아밀라 입니다. 복음 이라는 것은 세상이 인정하는것이 아니라 하나님과 그의 사람들의 얼굴을 웃음짖게 하는 것입니다.

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Romans 5:3‭-‬5 NIV +

Written by Jung

It is quite astonishing that a group of people can hold hostage and disrupt so many people’s lives. Yes, I’m talking about the ongoing taxi strikes in the Cape Town area.

Whatever their issues are against the city, what the world obviously desires is more power and money. I’m listening to the news that someone has passed away during this chaos. Additionally, opportunistic criminals are taking chances to loot and steal things.

When our lives are affected, especially the lives of those innocent and good people, we can’t deny that we wish for a higher power to intervene.

But what kind of power do we wish for? God to come and punish? Or to overrule all the nonsense and bring justice?

What the world wants from us is for us to despair and surrender to their objectives. So, how about hope as true power? Instead of fighting their fight in their ways, why don’t we ask God to give us hope when the future is bleak? To help us endure and build character through it. Despite chaotic circumstances, we shouldn’t lose our way and the trust in the love that Jesus has shown us, while having faith in God’s good plan.

Any hardship will pass, but being able to gain stronger faith and even rise above the hardship in Christ’s love is the true power.

Do not fall with the world, my family, but let’s grow stronger and closer to Christ.
