Jesus,
I realise
I look like you
when I am despised
because you were despised.*
I am blessed
when we are one.
Amen.
PTH
* Isaiah 53:3 New International Version (NIV)
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

Prayer 549
Jesus,
Our country should has Compassion Index.
How Compassion Index gauges,
I do not know.
Perhaps no one will throw a stone at sinners,
for we all are sinners in the sight of God.*
Amen.
Prayer 548
Jesus,
You had dinners with sinners.
Thanks to these dinners,
some sinners became righteous,
for example Matthew, your disciple.(1)
Only one righteous person
is enough to save a city.(2)
Our jails are full of sinners.
If we have dinners in jails,
perhaps some sinners will become righteous
and perhaps our country will be saved.
Amen.
The deceptive promise of free trade
Deustch Welle, Published on Jun 6, 2018
Global trade is a hot topic of the G7 summit in Canada. Is free trade truly free – and fair? What roles do US President Trump, economic powerhouse China, and the EU play in global trade?
When it comes to global trade, it would seem that trickery, threats and deception are the order of the day – yet all this takes place largely beyond the reach of the public eye.
Prayer 547
Jesus,
Gazing at your face,
the peaceful face,
I am at peace.
No more worry,
nor sorrow.(1)
You are near to me.
You are near to the brokenhearted
and save those who are crushed in spirit.(2)
You are near to all who call upon you,
to all who call upon you in truth.(3) Continue reading Prayer 547

Prayer 546
Jesus,
Though through you the world was made,
the world do not recognize you.(1)
Are you unhappy?

People expected you were their King
but you were nothing. Continue reading Prayer 546
A late start: Renewable energy development in Vietnam
August 21st, 2018 by The Beam CleanTeachnica
By Lars Blume, Green ID Vietnam
Vietnam is located on the Indochina peninsula in Southeast Asia. The country’s total length is 1,650 kilometers from the northernmost point to the southernmost point. Vietnam has a diverse topography consisting of hills, mountains, deltas, coastline, and continental shelf. The topography is lower from the Northwest to the Southeast. There are two major deltas with fertile arable land in Vietnam; the 16,700 sq km Red River Delta, locally known as the Northern Delta, and the 40,000 sq km Mekong River Delta, or the Southern Delta. The country has a long coastline of 3,260 km, running from Mong Cai in the North to Ha Tien in the Southwest.
Prayer 545
Jesus,
Human is your own image.
Human is your likeness.*
So loving human is to love you.
I wish I love human as you love me.
Amen.
Prayer 544
Jesus,
History has proven that
secular education is not good for people.
Though secular education can help us master knowledge,
secular education cannot heal our heart
and cannot help us love people unconditional.
Love gives us life.* Continue reading Prayer 544
The peddler girl from Sa Pa who made it big
VNE – October 9, 2018 | 01:22 pm GMT+7
She was named by Forbes Vietnam as one of the 30 most influential under-thirty in the country.
Tan Thi Shu was born in 1986 in a poor H’Mong family in Sa Pa, a beautiful mountainous town in the northern province of Lao Cai.
Her family was in fact so poor it could only afford one meal a day. She started working at the age of 12, selling brocade fabric. A year later, like most of her peers, she became a peddler in Sa Pa.
Her mind was always teeming with unanswered questions: “Why are my parents so poor? Why am I different from the rest? Why can’t I go to school and have the same opportunities as others? Wherever I go, I can’t find anyone else who looks like me…”.
Prayer 543
Jesus,
Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) is not good for us.
ISDS is a mechanism
that allows foreign investors
to bring claims against host governments
to an international arbitral tribunal.
ISDS is a postcolonial relic that should be abolished.
Before abolishing ISDS,
please protect our government.
Give our government your wisdom
and help our government stand firmly
no matter how strong the ISDS storm is.
We trust you.
Amen.
PTH
