I just finish reading an Email that my beloved brother send to me. The title is "Is my way of life reflecting that I am from God". His topic is actually about the Darwin's theory and the belief of Christian in God. Suddenly, I remember one shameful thing that I used to have. I love to share with you all. Here is the story.

I was not a born-Christian. I converted from Buddhist to Christian in 2002. Every verse, every testimonies, every songs that I sing to paise him are all in English. I rarely listen to people talk about Christianity in my mother tongue language(Khmer). When I move to Phnom Penh, I need to find a place to worship and as well as the place that can help me to grow in Jesus Christ. At one afternoon at my old university, RUPP, I met one guy accidentally. His name is Sok Run. He is a volunteer from Cambodia Campus Crusade for Christ. He asked me whether I believe in Jesus or not and I said yes I am with Jesus about 3 years ago. He wants to help me to grow. But man I find it so really hard to listen every words from his mouth in Khmer. I felt very uneasy and I couldn't response back properly. He asked me why...I answered brainlessly, because I've listen all those words only in English. What a shameful answer that I gave to him??? Man I should have felt embarrass about myself. Then he introduced me Brother Vanndeth. He can speak English very well with American accent. I started to speak to him without any hesitation. Wow...what a cool guy trying to show off his English.....Yeah later he met up with me and we share everything in English. He helps me to grow a lot in HIM.

Now move to the point that I want to tell is why I couldn't response back in Khmer.

The problem is it is too shy for me to speak all the "LOVE" words in Khmer. Any of the word that is related to LOVE, GRACE, ALMIGHTY, CARE..Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh So shy..so embarrass.

Yeah in Christianity, LOVE is spoken widely. Love is really important. Love is a guidance rather than self. Because of that, I learn to sy those words a lot to people. Now I don't have any kind of feeling of shamefulness in using those words any more. And those are the strong foundation belief that I have in HIM.

Start to share LOVE words today in any language. LOVE can do miracle thing. LOVE is great gift of GOD.

³⁴ I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. ³⁵ By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." John 13:34-35

Thank for hearing the story today!

With Abundant Love in HIM

GOD BLESS CAMBODIA! GOOD NIGHT!
