Yoon's musical note

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8) After a long period of time with 1 Corinthian 13, this verse from 1 Peter has been recited in my heart all day long. I have been praying to ask God what He wants me to do and there have been answers with general acts such as "praying or reading the Holy bible" or specific actions such as giving a certain book to someone, or calling a friend and so on. Beyond all those answers, God has been strongly telling to me one thing is "Love others deeply!" I am not sure exactly how love covers a multitude of sins. But, I do know that Jesus did it on the cross for us. I can't love like Jesus does by myself but Jesus promised me that He will be with me until the end. It means that He will lead and help me to love others with His heart. What can I say more than obey? Even though there are a number of people who make my heart aches, I will pray and love them anyway because He tells ...

It has been for over a month now that God has waken me up around 3:00 or 4:00 regularly with a song, or words in my hearts. Amazingly, I haven't been tired at all, but I have felt more energeric with deep peace. I have enjoyed so much this date with God in the early mornings, and am afraid of what if I forget this intimate time with God in the future. When I started a month ago, I was desperated to know what God wanted me to do in that situation. I still haven't heard anything as an answer but keep hearing the same message that "Seeking Kingdome of God and His righteousness" and Keep praying in His Spirit no matter what. So, what I can I do more except obey to what He tells me to do everyday? Only thing...is "prayer". That is the reason that I wake up early. Even though it has been more than month now, I wake up with great excitment and expectation for the Lord every single morning. It has been just undescribly precious. More than fifteen years ago before I ...

I had a chance to attend revival services over the last weekend at a Korean Church in Savannah. There were five times services with three hour long each time from Friday night to Sunday night. A main focus was about the evangelism why and how we need to spread the Gospel. The speaker also focused on “seeking God’s kingdom and His righteousness”. I was fully challenged and encouraged with the speaker’s messages. One of suggestions about how to spread the Gospel got my attention. It was a simple phrase “do you believe in Jesus?” to find out whether they are Christians or not when we try to spread the Gospel. I asked the question to myself. “Do you believe in Jesus, Yoon?” of course, I said “Yes”. And after I heard a sermon at the second service on last Sunday, I asked further questions based on “believing in Jesus” to myself. If I believe in Jesus that He redeemed me with His precious blood on the cross, do I believe in Jesus that He answers our prayer every single one? I said “yes” ...

I was stressed out about today's worship service with the bishop's hour at our church. There was no format to follow but just worship for a half hour and I need to lead. I could not decide which songs we need lift up and have been praying for a guidance of the Holy Spirit for several days. Also, I helped to clean up the church yesterday because our custodian was sick with a flu. I dragged the heavy vacuum in the sanctuary, and here and there. I was happy to serve no complaining but still stressed out that I need to decide how to lead the service while I was cleaning. Amazingly, at this morning in my quiet time with the Word, God gave me exactly what I need to hear with Luke 10:38-42. I was again becoming Martha. As I shared in this blog before about my personality being Martha in many circumstances. It occurred again. :) Jesus told Martha "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will ...

In many thoughts lately, I have realized how important to pray fervently in Holy Spirit. I pray for many people and stuff but do not sometimes realize how important it is to pray in the Spirit. The dawn service has been a big help for me to focus on praying and listening God's word clearly. Amazing thing is that God shows how much details about living as a good christian which I haven't been able to follow well. On last Monday night, I had found out again that people did not invite me to one of my friends birthday party. I felt so left out again, and cried for a while with sadness that people do not accept me as their friend but only see me as a person who works for them. I simply was missing having friends. While I was crying, Jesus reminded me that He is my friend, and asked me what I need to have more. I prayed and confessed that I knew that Jesus is my friend but did not really consider Him as my real friend. At the very next morning dawn service, a lady,who leads two hymns...

I have thought too much lately with so many issues in our lives and could not figure them out into writing. That is one of reasons that I haven't been able to update anything lately. However, I have been enjoying presence of God in prayer and worship. I have started attending regularly to the dawn service in Korean baptist church from Wed. to Sat. morning. I could not stay longer to pray because I have to come home to wake my kids to be ready for their school but I stay longer on Saturday. It is a such a blessing that there is a Korean church nearby for that service. I do not think it is matter with God whether I pray at home or at church but I really enjoy opening a new day with praising God, hearing God's word and fervent prayers. God wakes me up at 5:08 every morning for more than a week now. I could not believe how exact the time is at the clock next my bed. I know that God wants to me to kneel first thing in the morning. Our sanctuary reading bible has gotten now to "...

I had a bitter experience lately at our pool in our neighborhood. There was a couple outside of the pool and a boy who was playing by himself at the pool when my friends who were visiting us from Detroit, and we got there. Our kids were playing lively and the boy was trying to play with my kids. My friend's son played with the boy and threw one of the boy's toy into the water to catch. The mother of the boy yelled outloud "You don't want to throw the toy like that! You are very mean!" and came to her son, telling "don't play with them, go to the other end of the pool". Well....I was watching and trying to figure it out what my friend's son did wrong. A few minutes later, there was a family with three kids coming into the pool and starting playing with the toy without permission to say. She did not say anything and let them play with her precious boy. She kept looking us in very hatful eyes. My friend asked "is this a normal happening in this...
