Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you will called when you made your good confession in the presence of many weaknesses.
We cannot choose when we are born, and born to which family.
But we can choose to lead the life we want to. We can even change the Fate we have.
Thai people like to change their names, remove the above marks on faces, follow feng shui etc
But it is only by knowing God, that our lives will change.
Story of Timothy - he who loves God
1) born in a small village. Acts 16:1
2) he was a weak child and was full of sickness. 1Timothy 5:23
3) he was a shy person. 2 Timothy 1:8
4) he had a father that was non-Christian
Acts 16:1,3 (his mother was a Jew who loves God)
Timothy was not circumcised. His mother probably did not have the authority to get him circumcised.
5) The village did not have a place of worship. Acts 14:6
Timothy as a good example
1) picked a good example
(2 Timothy 1:5, 3:10)
He picked to follow his mom who is a believer, because he saw that the life of his mom and grandmother were good.
Christians have a better life than non-christians

Example Eunice, Timothy`s mother really love to read the bible.

We cannot choose our birthrights, but from today onwards, we will change for the better and choose the best for us, according to God`s will.
