February 12, 1956 - It's the First Day of the Year

 It’s the first day of the year

 

    Today is the start of a new year. From today on, everything is new.  It brings back childhood memories.  In my hometown, I ran to wherever a crime was committed.   The salvation of the true God came to me and made me a newborn.  Today, the gospel of he God has come to me.  That’s why I run now.  Today is the first day of the first month.  It’s Sunday again.

 

    The sound of firecrackers greets the Lord.  In the morning, the weather is bad but there are still lots of people who come to church.  At a quarter after twelve, after the meeting, I got ready to go to Li Gu Jao.  Because I’m giving the sermon there, the trip is a bit of a rush.  I’m riding a bike because it’s an emergency.  On the way, I was too rushed to feel cold but it’s cold when I come back.

 

In the evening, Dr. Wang Qin spoke at the Youth Conference Sermons.  I went to a party there.  Today is the first night.  More than 4000 people attended though the weather was cold with gusty winds.  Little by little, everyone became quiet.  Emotions did not diminish.   The cold wind gusts intensified.  My teeth were chattering.    Fortunately, I came back with Priest Youn.

 

    The Church of Hong Kong may be working together for the first time in it’s history today.  It is also known that the people in the Church are one.  I’m fantasizing about future joint work that is bound to make progress.  I pray to God for more guidance.
