:: With Sang Eon ::

This story is about anointing David. Through Samuel, God choose David. Who can be chosen by God? We can find the clue from this story. Samuel wrote, “The LORD does not look at the things human beings look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. – 16:7, 1 Samuel” Yes, He look at the heart not like people who look at the outward appearance.

What do I have in my heart? In front of God, could I stand confidently? Do repent of my sins! No matter what I think, I have to repent of my sins everyday with wholeheartedly because I know my mind..

Someday, I also want to hear that message. “This is the one. – 16:12”

 

“Don’t dream of long term missionary work from experiences of the short term mission trips.”
From 2 years volunteer service in Indonesia.

A lot of young Christians are going to a short term mission trip during summer vacation. I also joined several mission trips (India, China, Egypt and etc.) when I was a university student and the mission trips gave me special experiences. It taught me about other cultures, life, and surviving method. Through several mission trips, I thought that I could easily do missionary work for Jesus Christ. My mind, but, was changed by the long term volunteer work in Indonesia. So I want to request,

“Don’t dream of long term missionary work from experiences of the short term mission trips.”

Why? Why did my mind be changed? In conclusion, the trip and the life have a lot of difference. I want to explain that difference with three kinds of reason.

First, an attitude accepting cultural difference is different. When we join a mission trip, we can undergo cultural differences easily. However, in a living, it cannot be easily understood and it sometimes makes us upset, grumbly and crazy! For example, an Indonesian usually answers in the affirmative, but it does not mean ‘yes’ because they take a serious view of etiquette. So if we are in a mission trip, this culture can be understood without emotional rejection. If, but, we are in life, it makes a lot of problems. In my experience, I requested a colleague at work to prepare tools for next class and he said ‘yes’. But I had to prepare tools in the morning with anger. This situation cannot be limited by ‘him’ because most Indonesian does.

Second, we easily tend to think about the second language for coming to a mutual understanding not for surviving. Through short-term mission trips, we can gain confidence about second language because we can buy foods, ask locations, and get information. It, but, is just for living not coming to a mutual understanding and comprehending others deeply. Of course, we can deliver our love to others without the language but it has limit. We need to face the reality about the second language.

Third, we cannot instantaneously pour everything in life not like mission trips. Mission trips make us pour everything like money, time, even passion because it is just done in a short term. They don’t need to think about next situation. We can just enjoy, and do hard work during a short term. However, the life is different. Do you know how difficult to have a passion for a long time, to use money with balance, and to do best everything continuously. It is not easy!

Therefore, I politely want to say again. Don’t easily think about missionary work. I also dream the kingdom of heaven in this world quickly! If this dream comes true, more Christians may devote to missionary work. However I don’t want that Christians who joined short-term mission trips fell into the illusion of doing missionary work easily. Mission is reality and life.

I can’t remember when I knew, but I realized that I was a very solitary being. Even though we know that human beings are loneliness, I easily felt loneliness more than other people of the same age. Maybe it is as result of the environment where I grew up or my nature is originally solitude.

Looking back over the past, what I know is that nevertheless I am not an orphan and I grew up in the love of parents, I was like an orphan. After fourth grade of the elementary school, I had to enter at the front door with my own key, prepare a meal by myself and spend time alone because at that time my parents started working together. My parents and I just could spend very little time on ordinary days after that time. (They usually went to work at 4 am and returned home at 11 pm.)

Existential solitude… It gave me deep attachment of the relationship and dependence which were my reaction for overcoming loneliness. I was always chained by the relationship and I could not have freedom in the relationship. “If the relationship is broken or if I am abandoned, how do I?” This question whirled my mind and it gave me suffocating life for aiming at perfection of the relationship. The pain of the relationship was always my highest pain in life.

After entering a university, although I personally met God again and decided my life to live for Him, this decision could not give a solution for my solitude. Still I felt existential solitude and I had a lot of problems derived from it. I thought that if my solitude was an unavoidable pain, I wanted to overcome it and I started pray in front of God.

Someday, it was time to LGM (Large Group Meeting like worship meeting in University). At the time to pray after finishing preaching, I still could not get out of that problem – about my solitude – and I prayed sincerely to God. At that time, Jesus came to me with an illusion. I could see that I was abandoned at the wilderness without anything and any person. There was ‘I’ who was wailing and stripped naked. I who was in reality could only be crying when I saw that scene because I really felt that feeling… Recovery, but, was started at that moment. When I – Both in the reality and the illusion – still was wailing, I could see the light that wrapped me with a warm atmosphere. That was Jesus who was hugging me… I was not alone even I felt I was alone and solitary.

“I am always with you.”

I cannot forget that whisper and that illusion. Of course, I have still a visit from the essential solitude and loneliness because that is I who cannot be denied. But in front of the solitude, I can do to remember the illusion that I am not alone… and He is always with me…

 

Shopping Holic!

I think most of people like shopping. Why do people like shopping? For what? Maybe, I think that shopping fills our desire and gives happiness of possession. During our life, we don’t get out of desire of possession. So, if we don’t get out of desire of possession, what do we do or what do we meet this problem of life? What is answer to this problem?

Well, I don’t know.. But what I know is that we have to go against the current of the times. People are a good hand at possession, but we are not..

You know that following Jesus Christ is always difficult to us..

▒ 경구를 의미하는 맺음말 사용

경구라 하여 편지를 쓰고 있는 마음이 어떠한지를 나타내 준다. 본문을 다 쓰고 난 후 2-3줄의 공간을 두고 행의 가운데쯤부터 대문자로 쓰기 시작하여 마지막에는 콤마(,)를 붙여 준다.
맺음말은 편지의 종류나 수취인과의 친밀도에 따라 그 사용을 구분해야 한다.
어느 것을 사용하는 것이 좋을지 잘 알 수 없을 경우에는 상대방이 쓰는 맺음말을 쓰면 문제가 없다. 일반적으로 길게 할수록 정중한 느낌을 준다.

: Your reliable friend

◎ 손 윗사람에게 : Faithfully yours

◎ 사교, 사무적인 사람에게 : Yours truly

◎ 감사의 표시를 할 때 : Gratefully yours
