Reciprocate
Do you always get good news?
Yeah all news are good news
as God would not let you go backward
Every single thing you get is from the Lord
whether losing a job, lost a loved one
change career, marital status
Anything you can think of is from the Lord
God would not give something that is not good for you
Even dying
Yeah
So now how do you know it's good news?
Do all things come from the Lord?
(Isaiah 45:7) "I form the light, and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create evil: I the Lord do all these things"
So don't think for a moment that God did not
have a hand in it
God has a Hand on everything concerning you
When you think He doesn't
that is when He really has a Hand on you
I remember before I was saved
in the middle of ocean, I was dangling outside on a boat
on the stern - a post
playing
Didn't think for a moment that I could have fallen in
And no one would know
My parents would have noticed it
- my missing
I was a child then
But God has a Hand on me
Then and now
My parents were not a bad parent
But they can't be every where, every time
Yeah God has a Hand on you
Did you ever think back how lost you were?
I remember in my teen years
On this one particular day
I remember thinking how lost I felt
Everything seemed so hazy
Didn't know who I was
Was still trying to find me
Oh yeah God has a Hand on you
even when you are lost and did not know
where you are
That's why we need to get as many teenagers
into the Kingdom of God
They are lost
Still finding themselves
Did you know I learned about Jesus
by reading a book that someone had left at my parents' store?
I thought it was a book
It was the Bible
Someone planted a seed in me without knowing it
I remembered thinking I couldn't put it down
I was so intrigued
Who is this Man that could do all this miracles?
But yeah it was in me
The seed was left in me
I didn't get saved till it was later
in my adult years
But yeah just think how many years would I have lost
had not somebody reached out and touched me?
So my friend - do reciprocate
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
It's a golden rule
It was good then
And it is good now
