Apparently, the driver from the previous trip refunded the payment, but the money never back to my account. So I lost the money. I complained to Uber, but it was useless.
I also found people from other countries in the Uber reviews saying they had experienced the same problem.
My friend and I have both had this happen. We paid the Uber driver in cash, and then the next time we tried to book a ride, we found that our accounts had been charged and we couldn’t get another ride without adding money.
Growth in discipleship takes time.
But many never leave the starting line.
They stay at the beginning, never truly beginning.
What a new disciple needs first is pure spiritual milk:
a clear sense of identity,
assurance of relationship with God,
and hope.
Someone may have been a disciple for a long time, yet their actions and inner life remain unchanged.
This does not necessarily mean they are not saved.
It may mean they have not received sound teaching—
no ongoing feeding of spiritual milk,or an inability to grasp truth at different depths.
Even with new life,they may still have little strength and little understanding.
He has already given His treasure. Whoever is willing to receive can have it.
What is this immense grace? The love of God.
It’s that simple: He loved me enough to give me His treasure.
Want a simpler way to read the Bible? Watch the verbs.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son…”
The key is “gave”: God gave up His most precious Son. Whoever wants Him—raise your hand.
I raised mine, half thinking “why not try.”
Now this treasure is mine.
How precious? Eternal life—I never dared to hope for it. No one deserves it. The ticket to heaven can’t be grabbed by the world; it’s in Jesus’ hand. Now that ticket has my name on it.
