There is a friend of mine; we’ve been friends since the third year of the middle school. While getting along well with her, I always thought she is really nice; she considers others all the time, which makes me reflect on my weak points.
Maybe that’s why. When I gained confidence in the truth, I wanted to deliver the words of God to her more than anyone else. I thought when I told her the truth, she would realize the value of the Passover and the love of Father and Mother easily. But she was reluctant to have a life of faith even though she often joined Zion events.
Before entering university, I prayed to God every day to lead her to Zion. The prayer was also for me. I thought she would be my reliable supporter and help me not fall into the temptations of the world.
God answered my prayer. “I’ve come here often, and I can see the Church of God is a good place. I like talking with the sisters,” she said and received a new life after much delay.
After being born again as a child of God, she’s encouraging me greatly, while keeping every regulation and studying the Bible diligently. One day, we were talking over the phone and I was overwhelmed with emotion. She said she realized that Father and Mother have come down to the earth to lead us to eternal kingdom of heaven, and that Father and Mother’s love for us cannot even be compared with our love for Them. She also said she wanted to repay Father and Mother by preaching the words of God diligently. Her every word moved me. Her faith had grown a lot within a few months.
When we talk to each other, I tell her that I am happy to live a life of faith with her. It’s the kind of joy that you can have only in Zion. We’ve made a promise that we’ll be friends forever even in heaven after enduring all hardships.
The sister is the best energy Mother has given me. I give thanks to God who let me feel the love and the fragrance of Mother up close. I will diligently deliver the gospel and find many heavenly family members whom Mother is pleased with.
