Mother’s Prayer- Christ Ahnshanghong who let us realize the truth of the Bible.

Mother’s Prayer

Whenever I listen to thefragrance of Zion, I always recall my mom.

I truly wanted my mom to receive the truth, who has been leading her life by the sweat of the browalone; it was so much tiring with doing a farming work all through herlife.  However, she didn’t even want tolisten to the words of the truth, while accepting all others.   Even if I tried to preach to her many times,she rather scolded me.

Feeling depressed, I gotmad at her and even appealed to her, but then she just threw doubt on me askingif I go to a strange church.  In spite ofhaving no religion, she rather tried to stop my belief, insisting that I shouldnot go to any other churches except Methodist or Presbyterian ones where myrelatives go to.  Whenever she did that,I felt hopeless and regrettable wondering how she could not trust her child atall.  I felt so envious of spiritual brothersand sisters leading their physical families to Zion.

One day, when shevisited a hospital not feeling well, she was advised to undergo an operation byher doctor.  She seemed to feel weakenand have many thoughts about the operation. Since she was long way past seventy, other families got worried abouther so much.

To meet my mom stayingin sister’s house to get an operation, I got on the bus and prayed to HeavenlyMother.  When I arrived there, shewelcomed me so much but I felt uncomfortable in mind.  My sister staying home went to church but didn’ttry to reject my religion nor listen to the truth.

My mind was so much troubled wishing mom to receive the truth and worrying if she refuses it at all. Heavenly Mother was the only one I could trust so I prayed to Her with earnest mind. At that moment, my sister said she had an appointment to make and left home.  Feeling this must be the great chance to preach from Heavenly Mother for sure, I preached about Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother to my mom and my mind was shaking with an excitingmind.  Watching mom who was hesitating, I felt like the heaven was about to destroy but I tried to persuade her again by praying for Heavenly Mother.

Finally, she said she wantedto be baptized and at this, tears came to my eyes.

All of these were trulythe grace of Heavenly Mother.

When I was about to leave home, I could not find a key.  She kind of hesitated to go, saying she could not go with the door opened so I asked her to come with me and finally brought the cab.

Her body was not healthy with several times of operations and farming work for all her life, so she almost crawled on the steps to the church on the 5^thfloor.  
However, she didn’t say it washard at all and finally got baptized just like a lamb.

Suddenly, I felt urgent with the fact that I left home with the door open. 
When I was about to come out of the Zion quickly, I couldn’t see mom but there found her praying for God.  From that scene, I got shocked because then I realized I myself had no belief at all.  Even though Heavenly Mother prepared all given conditions, I had no belief.

I felt so shameful and regrettable.   Returning home, nothing seemed wrong and it was before my sister came back home. Once again, I gave thanks to heavenly Mother and felt so sorry.   I sincerely give thanks to Heavenly Mother who prays with tears for this sinful child to get the belief firmly into the mind.
