A SMILE THAT HITS FOR THE HEART

" a picture is worth a thousand words " ?? - well then a smile is worth a million! Thailand is ‘Smileland', no doubt about that!

What a blessed three weeks this was, feeling so at home in God's valley, I think when God painted the earth He accidentally let the little green bottle tip over on this part cause... WOW, what a refreshing sight this is!

If there is one place so far that I wish I could share with the nation, it definitely is Thailand, the overwhelming presence of God amongst these Buddhists. Every thai's gesture, body language, signs of desperation, faces of pure innocence and not to forget their SMILES has certainly hit straight at my heart and made a little nest there. The saddest part is that they have so much to give, so much of Jesus already in their hearts, they just don't know it.

I was so overwhelmed when I met   this random lady one night after our show that she witnessed from her little food stall. The way she looked at me, blessed me, asked me questions, held me around my waist the way my grandmother always do and with some desperation of my presence not letting go. I just couldn't keep it in and I started crying, and the best part is she had this calming smile with watery eyes staring back at me, not understanding, but feeling.

Why do we so often have to be reminded of God's love and why does God need to keep on ‘winning' our hearts as Christians, having to prove Himself over and over and this women, these thai's never even had the privilege of hearing the message, they just don't know about God's character and grace and love because no-one has ever told them.

If I could ever return the same smile that I received that night, I wish it to be out of the knowledge of knowing Christ and being so privileged and grateful to know Him as my heavenly Father.  

"For Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they Believe in him if they never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?
