My dear brother, you need Jesus!

This morning, I called my brother Bryan. He seemed to be really down. He shared his struggles with me. I thank the Lord for this opportunity, for Bryan and I rarely talk about these things. He said, "I am so easily bothered by the trivial things in my life. I am always unhappy. It seems that nothing can cheer me up." He is also often upset by people's view of him. On one hand, he doesn't want to conform with the world, and he feels that he doesn't belong to any social circles at all. On the other hand, he has to do certain things in order to fit in the environment. He is result-driven. Therefore, his mood fluctuates so much. He also has lots of peer pressure.

My heart was saddened when listening to his words. I know only Jesus can save him and deliver him. I told him, 'Only the true God can help you. If you seek Him, he will be found. " At that moment, I felt that I had never loved my brother in a true or right way. I had never really, truly loved his soul and prayed for him to be saved zealously. I have to ask for God's forgiveness. I pray that the Lord would answer Bryan, if he calls out to Him. And I pray for other chances to share gospel with him. I sense that he was a little touched by what I said. Lord, may your Spirit work in Bryan's heart just as you have in mine! May you have mercy on our family members who are non-believers! May you draw them closer to you!

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." - Mt 11:28-30
