1 Corinthians 9: 19- 22
Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law, I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but under Christ's law), so to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, To win the weak. I have become all things to all men, so that by all possible means I might save some.
I couldn't find these verses for about 6 years. Haha... These were the very first verses that God impressed me and prompted me to send to Kok Ming. It was during his first year in University. He was trying to reach out to his friends in the university. These verses assured him of what he was doing. And we just started for about few weeks to a month, I'm not very sure. I became Christian for not very long. Could be a month old only if I'm not mistaken.
There were many incidents where I was prompted to send prayers and bible verses to certain people. Most of their replies were," Your prayer/ that verse(s) reached in time ." Some of them may continue asking," Why do you send it to me?" Well, my reply usually went,"I don't know."
I did not give up practicing this. But when I'm not connected with people I'll not be able to do so. I stopped doing this for quite a while. Lately I started it again. It's only when I'm connected. Or sometimes I maybe lazy to take the prompt and for some reasons I do not want to do it. Also because I did not study the bible everyday (confession). Sigh...
When I thought back, I'm really glad that God used me even when I was very young in faith. God used me even when I'm young in faith, I'm sure He will use everyone, EVERYONE who believes in Him to touch lives in His own special ways. The problem is always "we are not taking Instructions well from Him." And many of us do not pay attention to what He's telling us. We are giving excuses, we fail to identify and we are just IDIOT, aren't we?
I'm sad because I'm one of them. And yet still not doing anything about it. Yes, Lord, I'm trying. Help me to forgive myself and move on!!!

Forget about the past, it's gone and nothing much you can do about it except to learn from it. It's today and the days ahead that counts. Start making your life SIGNIFICANT for GOD this very day forth.
