the lest you do it to your brethren, you do it unto me

i had been pray and asked my Lord several times during the day , "oh! Lord, how please please give me an opportunity to serve you!" at that point, i always though that serving my Lord mean i need to preach the gospel. i am very shy person and it is hard to do that. i prayed so hard and i expected to result of my prayer so hard that i didn't see that my pray had been answer.

i learned it from the wonderful book named "where there is Love , There is God" when Mother Theresa tough us that Jesus thirst for our love. but how can we show our love to the Lord Jesus Christ?

 in Matthew25:35-40
 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

 i was so shock when i had learn this simple true. serve one another! serve the poor! one of the most blessing i have is that the Lord always teach me right away. after i read mother Theresa's teaching, in the next day(Sunday), i went to my sweet LDS church and the sisters also teach about it. one of the sister that i don't know her name said that when she become the member, she always pray for God for opportunity to serve Him. she wanted to returned the love that the Lord gave to her back, and show how much she loved Him. she asked herself "the Lord is powerful, how can i serve Him? i don't know what to do" then when she was thinking about this and asked the Lord. she found her answer.

i have serve the Lord to day without i knowing it. Today i woke up at 6.45 am and went to church in Delta (travel time 7.30am-8.50am) the church started at 9.00 am. the church in Delta isn't my regular church. but the Elder that used to teach me, he moved from Vancouver to there about 3 months ago. he called me early last week and asked me if i could be in the church in Delta because they have new investigators from Thailand and they couldn't speak English well, and it would be nice if i could come and help about translation. i agreed with that. i didn't know that just my simple action could make our investigators so happy and we became friends. we had lesson with the missionaries until 12.40pm  :)  i was terrible tired because i sleep almost midnight on Saturday (i got home from work at 11.20pm) and wake up early wasn't my thing. after the Delta meeting... i bus from Delta to Vancouver church(took me about 1hr and half) and i finished my church there at 6.00pm (the regular church finished at 4.00pm but i had to be in another lesson with the missionaries with another investigators, also i considered my friend)

today is a very long day for me, but i also happy to serve my Lord.

"Serve" is what the Lord teach us. what is mean"to Serve"? do you realize how deep this word mean ? we need to pounding this word in our heart and show the Lord that we love Him.
