everything was done so they would come...

i thought in my own foolishness that some things are simply beyond God. such as the salvation of hardened stony people like my grandma who has been an idol worshipper for the longest time. even after a half century long courtship by Jesus, she was never won. even after witnessing miracles that are too supernatural to explain, she refused to budge. nothing seemed to move her

and den all of a sudden, one day i received news that she said the sinner's prayer all by herself. thats barely like 2 mths ago and now shez partaking of the holy communion regularly on her own coz its 'supa powerful' in her own words...and has received the gift of tongues. talk about exponential growth.

another old lady...the mother of a close friend of my mom..has been in and out of ICU and has been afflicted with so many probs in her health i lost track/count. each time she was prayed for, she would walk out of the hospital but that was not enough to win her heart over. talk about stubborness. but Jesus is so patient and long suffering. HE nv gave up so in and out of ICU she came and went...abt 6 times in total. in just a year or so..and one day as she lay in bed, presumably thinking she was dying, she saw Him and his angels around her..and all i can say is that she is now on her way to heaven. still alive and out of ICU..but this time she brings with her Jesus in her heart.

the stoniest hearts can be melted with His love. i'm very impressed. very. lookin at my grandma, she is such a different person. barely recognizable and her faith is ...incredible. simple yet powerful. just like the savior. for such a young convert, i'm just so impressed and in awe of Him. the glorious work He has done in her.
