God is the only answer

 I will be honoured to share with the whole world about respecting the human rights.
Only when we believe that we are created in the image and likeness of God, will we know how to love and respect people around us.

 Remembering the first visit in South Africa in 1990, I was overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery in this country. I showed interest learning whatever excited me then. I went back to Taiwan full of wonderful memories. But.................

 It never occurred to me that I will settle down in South Africa for more than 19 years after my second visit in 1991. I stayed with my white friends in Germiston. They looked after me as their own family member. They demonstrate the love of Jesus. I am wholeheartedly accepted by them.

 Later in 1993, I married my Italian husband and experienced the so called "culture shock." I am not allowed to make any black friends even though they are the good ones. My house will never welcome any black nations. Nearly all the black people are labelled "thieves" in this country. It seems they are born to steal. Even when my children start schooling, they are always reminded not to make any black friends. I should have all the reasons to hate the black especially when I was robbed and shot in 1993. I have been living with constant fear and later have to take anti-depressant to get through the day with ease. But the crime rate, unstable political situation, and all sorts of pressure are far too overwhelming that I have two suicidal attempts. What a merciful God I serve that He spares my life.

 I finally learn to let God have full reign over my life and believe that Jesus creates all the human beings. Honestly speaking, no one will like to be born a black. Being called " China " and prejudiced, I right now don't take it as an offence for I firmly believe my true identity in God's eyes. Jesus is the Truth and the Truth has set me free. I learn to see the goodness of people around me no matter the colour of their skin. I start interacting with them in a way that God expects His child to manifest the love of Christ. My spirit and faith is restored for I certainly know who holds my future.

 Where there is God, there is peace.

 Jesus is the prince of peace. He is the only answer to all the chaos in the modern world. Jesus is the Truth, the Way, and the Life. He has come to give us eternal life.
God is love. No one is able to love until he knows the origin of love. I earnestly pray whoever reads this article will invite Jesus into his life. Amen.
