This Wonderful Faith in Me

I was born in Taiwan. I am a Christian kid who was baptized in 1995. My family are all Christians who immigrated to Canada in the summer of 1995. My life totally changed and started to be meaningful after I moved to Canada. Now, I am in the second year of college.

An experience happened in my first year of college. One day, I was waiting for my Christian friend, Rebecca, who was studying in the same school as me and was in a night class. While I waited, I went to the washroom with my wallet. After I was out of the washroom about five minutes, I realized I forgot to take my wallet with me. When I went back to the washroom, my wallet was already gone. I thought if the person who took my wallet were a good person she would return it to the Lost and Found office; if she were a bad person she would take it as her own. Immediately, I went to ask the attendant in the Lost and Found office about my wallet. However, he said no one had returned any black wallet. Meanwhile, I was so panicked inside and upset that this person was a bad person. All my credit cards and some cash were in my wallet. I was thinking there is no way for me to get it back, and I just needed to give it up. After thinking this, I immediately realized this came from Satan who always gives negative thoughts to people. So, I decided to turn to my spirit and get my wallet back by praying to the Lord. At the beginning of my prayer, I was praying in a begging way. While I was praying Satan was also very busy sending many negative thoughts through my mind. I knew I couldn’t continue praying like this, so I started to praise the Lord for what He has done and accomplished in my prayer. I said, “Praise the Lord, the wallet has already been found. There is no one that can stop what You have accomplished. Hallelujah, Christ is a victorious One.” By this way of prayer, this wonderful faith flowed into me. I just knew I would get my wallet back with no less money. I checked with the attendant about three more times before Rebecca finished her class. Afterward, I told her the entire story. She said, “No one can take money from Your children, Lord.” From this response, I knew the same faith dwelt in her, causing us to walk in oneness. Both of us started to search every place I had gone. We went to the Lost and Found two times during the search. It was almost ten in the evening. We both thought it was time to go home. Before going home, we both had a feeling to go back to Lost and Found one more time. When we went to the attendant, he was holding my black wallet and said a girl had just returned it. I was so happy that my prayer had been answered! I knew no one could do it except the Lord Jesus Christ.

Because of this wonderful faith in me, Christ won the victory. From this experience, I realized Satan always lies to us, especially when we are in the difficult situations. Finally, I praise the Lord as the sovereign One who does everything for good to those who love Him (Romans 8:28).
