(English version)
Shalom, this is Hyeok Park. The Lord told me that I must go to Venezuela and gather the people for a big gathering. Recently, the Lord said to me that it is a crucial moment in Venezuela and that I must go there at this specific time.
This is my only second visit to Venezuela. The first time I visited was last July. On my first visit, I did just two massive crusades, only in Caracas and Cumana. And now, I am going to Venezuela for the second time, and there will be only one massive crusade in the capital city, Caracas. It is not a city-based crusade. It is a national crusade for the nation of Venezuela.
So today, my wife and I were packing bags to prepare to fly to Venezuela. When it was time for dinner, I paused packing the bag, and went to the kitchen to cook. I wanted to prepare dinner for my lovely wife.
But since we were leaving tomorrow for Venezuela, I could not buy new groceries with a planned list to prepare a specific dish. Instead, I had to clean up the foods in the refrigerator. Because they would obviously be expired when we come back from the mission trip of Venezuela.
When I opened the refrigerator, there were different types of remaining foods that seemed to have no value, and they had just a few days left to expire. Obviously, the remaining groceries in the fridge were not harmonious enough for me to cook a nice meal.
But because I love my wife so much, I still wanted to prepare the best meal for my wife. My deep love for my wife motivated me to use my whole brain and entire cooking experience to think of the best way to make a special meal with those valueless groceries that do not harmonize together.
I finally finished cooking the meal for my wife. So I called my wife to come to the table to eat. And I was steadily watching my wife taking the first spoon of the dish. I was just waiting for her response as she tasted the food. I saw her eyes being opened largely and her face being shocked. And she said, "Wow..." in a slow-motion mode. And she told me this meal was the best dish I had ever cooked for her. Then, I tasted it also. And I can tell it was the best spaghetti I have ever cooked.
I used soon-expiring, valueless, not harmonious, and remaining groceries that were not special.
And I made the most special and beautiful spaghetti in my life.
How was that possible?
One factor made it possible.
It is the LOVE I have for my wife.
Your life might be full of valueless things, full of mistakes, or nothing special.
But God can turn those things into something valuable.
God can turn the valueless things in your life into valuable things.
God can turn ordinary things into special things.
And God can even restore your mistakes to become something beautiful.
Are you broken or hopeless because of your mistakes in your life?
God's love can turn those ugly things into beautiful things.
How is that possible?
For one reason, God's LOVE for you.
If you find yourself hopeless with so much brokenness, mistakes, or valueless things in your life...
Remember, who is the most motivated person to turn things around?
Who is the most motivated person to restore your life due to LOVE?
God is the most motivated person.
Because He loves you so much.
God can change your story.
Let's pray a prayer together.
"God, forgive all of my sins. Forgive all of my mistakes. Forgive all of my disobedience. God, restore me. By your mercy, turn the ugly things in my life to become beautiful things. Surround me with people who helps me to not walk in sinful life. In Jesus name, Amen."
I recommend you to attend a church regularly and receive the guidance of a leader who can help you walk in restoration and guide you.
"Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord"
(Acts 3:19)
