Xiao Zhu stared at the money that was on the table of her office. Mrs. Fu, her colleague had been careless. There was a total of nine one hundred dollar bills. Xiao Zhu quietly took the money and put it in her wallet. What a good deal!
She was nine hundred dollars richer, yet she was not pleased with herself. Mrs. Fu would be nine hundred dollars poorer.
She knew it was wrong of her to take Mrs. Fu's money, yet she could not resist her temptations. She needed a new laptop for her daughter, and the nine hundred would be useful. Beside, it was easy money.
Yet, condemptation mocked her. You call yourself a christian?
Xiao Zhu struggled within herself.
Lord Jesus, she cried. Forgive me, a sinner.
A relief came over her. She felt her prayers answered. Calmly, she returned the money to the table. She might need a laptop, but Jesus died for her and Mrs. Fu. Grace rejoiced with her. Jesus had washed her clean with his blood.
Condemptation fled and righteousness triumphed. His righteousness, not hers. The thief is now a saint.

Short Story: In jail for the Muslims
Zhi Ming had a passion for the Muslims in Singapore. It was his desire to bring the gospel to them. But the religious harmony law was a snare to him. He had to share the gospel carefully or he would be in trouble with the law.
It was forbidden to share the Christian faith with a Muslim unless the Muslim permited him to. That made it impossible for him to share with most of the Muslims, as most did not have willing ears to listen to the gospel. Sharing the gospel with an unwilling Muslim could lead to a law suit. He could be sued for insulting Islam.
Still, Zhi Ming tried his best!
Zhi Ming had a passion for the Muslims in Singapore, he was in jail for their sake. He had passed the safe boundary and was sent to jail as a result of that. Yet, regret never met him. Zhi Ming rejoiced with Jesus. Here in jail, there were more Muslims and he could share his faith with them. Zhi Ming knew in his heart that regardless of what was the cost, he would do his duty for the Muslims in Singapore!
