Legal Aid…What I Learnt from It? ~ 7th October 2008

Legal Aid…What I Learnt from It?

Today is my last day of my legal aid duty. I still remember when I first entered the prison, I had mixed feelings of excitement, anxiousness and curiosity..not knowing what to expect from our interviews with our clients…

I was hoping that the legal aid duty will end soon; now that it has come to an end, I feel heavy… Throughout the six visits to Sg Buloh Prison, I must say today’s visit will be the most memorable one…

My first client was a member of the triad gang; after the interview, he shared about his story…one that touched me most…he told me that he is now a Christian…Praise the Lord…

During the gathering at my house last Saturday, the Brother who did the sharing talked about how God will not leave us but to emphasise that He will be with us at all times…this story of my client has proved that God is Good, All the Time; and All the Time, God is Good.

This piece of testimony brings hope to all of us, telling us that no matter how hopeless is the situation, God never gave up on us. If He could open a triad member’s heart to accept Him, what else could stop Him from opening our hearts to receive His salvation. I believe that so long as we have the faith and trust, nothing is impossible in Him.

Heaven is real, Hell is also real. We have performed and seen this drama many many times and yet sometimes we will just keep this truth in abeyance. The Sister who shared last Sunday talked about the salvation of our immediate family members, our relatives, our friends as well as our acquaintances.

Christ is coming back soon and the BIBLE says we must always keep watch for we do not know the hour. Let’s cross our hands together and pray for the salvation of the lost souls.

I learnt a great lesson today - God never forgets about any one of us; to Him, each and every lost souls is precious is His eyes…His unconditional love is the core behind our belief.

Immanuel, Shalom & Agape^ ^
