Today, we will continue to discuss on “Relationship with oneself”.

Last week, we had mentioned that man is created in the image of God. Such a creation is worthy so we have to respect ourselves. In the same way, man is a humble creation as he is formed from the dust of the ground so we must humble ourselves. Knowing such a human nature, human beings should start to respect and accept themselves, and establish their self-love and self-esteem. Today, we will continue to explore how to build a relationship based on self-love and self-esteem.

        事奉主不是一件容易的事，母亲在事奉的路途中多次经历困难，但每每得到上帝奇妙的保守和看顾。比如，一次蹚水过河时，水深齐腰，不会踩水的母亲居然平安过去；母亲服事的一位姐妹多年未育，藉着不间断的祷告祈求，最后蒙神怜悯得了孩子；二嫂信主与二哥同心服事；半夜家中饲养的兔子失窃，失而复得……大事小事，在在彰显出上帝奇妙的作为，让人看到上帝对祂仆人无微不至的看护和供应。

        上帝也赐给母亲诸多属灵的恩赐。母亲能靠着主的大能医病赶鬼，使上帝医治的大能藉着母亲敬虔的禁食、祈求和信心而完全彰显在众多家庭中和弟兄姐妹身上。很多人不单身心得医治，更借着这医治的过程进一步看到人的有限，更深认识上帝的权能，从此坚定地跟随主，事奉神。
