2 brothers brought me out for dinner and we decide on Bai Gan Ze Huo Guo (White Cane steamboat). It was a buffet dinner. Got free flow of desert, drinks and ice-cream. Yeh, brothers bond over food. This restaurant got a interest no. It is Wo-Wo-Wo-Ci-Huo-Guo. Can you figure out the no.? It is 555-458. WE had a good laugh.
I had a sin confession to make, though I struggle to open up. (sorry I won't disclose the details. It's a men's issue) After the confession, the brothers encourage me. I feel lifted up by their support and encouragement. After all , we are men and can relate to the common struggles.
Every often, Satan lie to us. He tells us it is ok to not confess to man, just confess to God is sufficient. He tells us we just need to repent on our own, confession is optional. However, in James 5:16 it says-
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
Confession humbles us. It takes humility to tell another man that you have weakness and have sin against God. True to what the bible says, I feel refreshed and recharged. I am more ready to do God 's will and stay pure.
We take a 5 mins walk to Daan garden and found a mini tower. We went up to and there we pray to God, in mandarin off course. I was the last to pray, quite tongue tied. I need to think hard to find the right word to express. Nevertheless, it was refreshing. The brothers address God as "ba ba" , just like how I greet my own dad. I can feel the intimacy they had with God. And the prayer certain bond us together.
