God Is in Charge of My Family

God Is in Charge of My Family

Ding Xia

People often say, “Even a just official finds it hard to settle family disputes.” In actual life, no matter which class we belong to, whether we are rich or poor, we cannot extricate ourselves from disputes over family trifles. So, many people are helpless in the face of them. I used to be like that and feel distressed because of the trifles. But my life has changed and been full of joy ever since God’s work of the last days came upon me.

My name is Ding Xia, and I lived in the countryside after my marriage. My husband worked away from home to make money. I farmed the land and took care of my two children in school. Though we lived a simple and poor life, my family members got along well with each other. However, my father-in-law’s death brought the harmony to an end.

Look here. Do you think I’m handsome?” said Cook Erpang abruptly in the gourmet kitchen, who stood 1.7 meters and was nearly 90 kg in weight. We roared at his words and said jokingly, “Yes, yes, yes. You’re so good-looking. …” After laughing, I remembered the truth of being an honest person a sister fellowhiped in a meeting some time ago. She said that an honest people always called a spade a spade. So I said to Cook Erpang earnestly, “You’re remarkably fat and not handsome.” When hearing the truth, he laid the spoon down and came up to me. Then, putting one of his strong arms round my neck, he said, “Lao Zhang (I am only 18 years of age), say it again?” To the eye, I was so brave that I said to him once more, “Even if you strangle me, you’re still not handsome but remarkably fat.” But in reality, I knew that he had the best relationship with me in this restaurant. After hearing my words, he let me go helplessly. This elicited a fresh burst of laugh.

Awakening In The Jaws Of Death

Awakening In The Jaws Of Death

In 2007, I accepted God’s work of the last days, but I didn’t seek the truth. Every time I saw people around me eating, dressing and enjoying themselves well, and moreover have plenty of money, I felt really thrown off balance. I also wanted to lead a high quality of life. For that reason, I opened up a barbershop. It went well and I could receive more than 60,000 yuan every year. In addition, my husband made money relying on fishing. Therefore, my family were pretty well-off. I was not satisfied with things as they were, however. I strived with my heart and soul to live a better life. Slowly, I attended meetings less and less. Even if I did, I wouldn’t listen to the brothers and sisters’ communications of the word of God, but only thought of my business. Moreover, I was even less willing to preach the gospel and perform my duty. Brothers and sisters came to sustain me many times, yet I always found excuses to evade. In this way, I occupied myself in earning money, thus my heart moving away from God. However, after a special experience, my numb heart finally was revived.

Wenjie found love after entering the university. The experience of her and Yuanming’s meeting, falling in love, and understanding each other made her believe that love was the hope of happiness. Yuanming was a tall and brilliant young man, and he was kind and thoughtful to her, and cared for her. Such kind of romance and warm affection completely fulfilled Wenjie’s dream for love. She placed her hope of happiness of her life in him. However, good times didn’t last long. In their second year of college, Yuanming was diagnosed with liver failure. This news brought great trouble to the lovers’ romantic and ardent affection. But Wenjie knew that she could never leave Yuanming all life long. So she prepared for the worst—no matter how worse his condition would be, she would live with it and accompany him all the time.

A Storm Arising From House Property

Li Yue

I’m an only child. I grew up in my parents’ tender love, and moreover lived in an advantaged condition. Since I got married, my husband and I had always lived in my parents’ home. My husband was in charge of our home life, while I worked outside. We lived in perfect harmony. After my parents’ death, the salaries and house property were all in my charge, and naturally I held the purse string, which made me feel very secure. What’s more, I always had the final say in my family. I remembered there was a time when I played mahjong; I lost over 20,000 yuan after playing for a week in a row. My family persuaded me to give up it. I said to them, “I earned the money. It’s up to me how to use it. I’ll do whatever I want. None of your business.” At my words, my family could not say anything else. Just then, I thought: It seems that I’d better hold on to money in my own hands at any time. Otherwise, I won’t be so free to do whatever I like.

What Kind of People Are Considered God’s Followers?

What Kind of People Are Considered God’s Followers?

I believe that like me, all the brothers and sisters in the Lord have received lots of peace and blessings from the Lord, and that we all have ever been resolved to follow the Lord all our life. I remember, at that time I was fervent within. In order to repay the Lord’s great love, I actively spread the gospel for Him and supported the church, and I had confidence about holding on to His way. Moreover, I constantly contemplated His grace, and I was frequently moved to tears when I prayed, feeling so close to the Lord. I prided myself on being a follower of the Lord.

Saved by God in the Traffic Accident

After I accepted God’s work of the last days, through reading God’s words and fellowshiping with brothers and sisters, I understood that God came to express the truth in the last days to change our old values and outlooks on existence. As long as we accept the truth and act according to God’s requirements, our corrupt disposition will be cleansed, and we will obtain His salvation and walk the right path of life.
