645. Through the Key of Obedience, a Soul Who Had Been Isolated Was Saved!

💌645. Through the Key of Obedience, a Soul Who Had Been Isolated Was Saved!

After parting ways with the spiritually lapsed brother I had encountered on the bus through the Lord’s guidance, I was faithfully carrying out the duties of a volunteer entrusted to me during the Charismatic seminar, within the Prayer of Life. Then, upon hearing a voice say, “Sister, I am here,” I turned around and saw that the brother had indeed kept his promise and come to the church.

“Oh, beloved Jesus, thank You for calling this lapsed brother back!” Overjoyed to see him, I exclaimed, “Brother! You have come! Welcome!” and assisted him in participating. That day, during the laying-on-of-hands ceremony, he received the Sacrament of Confession, fully breaking away from his lapsed status and being reborn to live as a faithful believer again. Seeing his radiant facial expression, I offered praise, thanks, and glory to the Lord.

After the laying-on-of-hands ceremony at the Charismatic seminar, I reflected on the events of the day and realized how significant the results can be when we obey, even in the smallest matters. From a human perspective, taking a bus from Naju to Gwangju just to board another bus back to Naju seemed unnecessary, which was like an extra burden, especially in my state of suffering.

However, by accepting it with an “Amen” as the Lord’s will and with a heart of obedience, practicing Semchigo as if I had been loved, I went to Gwangju. Thus, the Lord was able to use me as an instrument to perform a miracle of love. The Lord, needing me for His purpose, called me to Gwangju through president Paul, enabling a lapsed soul to return to faith. As my thoughts reached this point—“What would have happened to that soul if I had not gone to Gwangju?”—I deeply realized once again the profound importance of the spirituality of “Amen.”

So, no matter how small the task may be, how could I not obey? And how could I not praise the supreme virtue of obedience, which is the key to opening the gates of heaven? It was not that the president Paul had forcibly called me to Gwangju, but rather that the Lord had already planned it.

However, no matter how much the Lord has planned, humans have been granted free will. If one accepts it, obedience becomes a shield that can fully block the fiery arrows shot by the devil and an invincible weapon—I came to realize this once again. The Lord had already arranged that when I obeyed, I would meet a lapsed believer so that he could break free from it and recover the lost grace of salvation.

Knowing this well, the devils tried in various ways to prevent me from attending the Charismatic seminar, using hindrances such as a beauty association tour and other obstacles. However, the Lord continuously guided my heart toward His will and as a result, did not a soul that had been isolated and cut off from God ultimately recover the grace of salvation?

“Oh! My Love, my Beloved! For You, this sinner is joyful, no matter what suffering I may receive. For You alone are my Love, my Beloved, my Treasure, and my Heaven.”

“My beloved, adorable little baby! Without weighing things on the scale of human calculations, you obey with simplicity, and within that heart, I am at work and remain with you.”

“Oh, my Love, my Lord! Do You love this unworthy sinful handmaid so much? I can only give thanks.”

After completing all the schedules in Yeongam and returning home, it was around 11:30 p.m. As soon as I got out of the car, my husband, who had been waiting for me, said urgently, “Honey! Something terrible has happened!” Startled by his urgent voice, I asked, “Why? What happened?”

“The tour bus that the hairdressers were riding in had a serious accident. So, I could not sleep and came out to wait for you,” he said! I was truly disheartened. The bus driver had been driving safely for over 20 years without any accidents and the bus was new—how could such a major accident have happened?

That day, the vice president and several hairdressers were hospitalized at a local hospital. The hairdressers who were severely injured had to close their salons entirely. Additionally, the restaurant owner, who had cooked meals and joined the tour, had no choice but to completely shut down the restaurant.

“Today, if the Lord had not poked the designated part of my body to stop me, I would have reluctantly joined the tour. And since I am the president, I might have moved around the running bus to attend to the members and could have encountered a serious accident...” Thinking of this, I offered up infinite thanks to the Lord, who protected and cared for me.

However, when I thought of those who had suffered in the accident, I felt so sorry and heartbroken that I earnestly prayed for them. At that moment, I heard the tender voice of the Lord.

“My beloved Little Soul! Do not worry too much. You have already done your part. The sacrifice and offering you made to Me today with your complete love will be like sweet rain to their withering souls, bringing them new life.”
