Her name is Chen Xi, and since she was little the education and
influence of her parents and her schooling made her always want to stand
out from the crowd and seek to be above others, so she was diligent in
her studies and would spare no effort. After believing in God Chen Xi
read a great deal of God's words and came to understand some truths. She
saw that the only correct path in life is to believe in and follow God
and became an enthusiastic seeker, and was very proactive in performing
her duty. Chen Xi went abroad in 2016 to escape the pursuit and
persecution of the Chinese Communist government, and needed to use
English when performing her duty of spreading the gospel and bearing
witness to God's work in the last days. She felt honored, and that she
was a rare talent. Just as she was filled with confidence and was
thinking of really making a place for herself in the church, she
discovered that her brothers and sisters shared fellowship on God's
words with light and that they had a better grasp of English than her.
She didn't want to fall behind, so in order to surpass others and be
looked up to and commended by them, she redoubled her learning efforts. A
bit of time passed but she still didn't match up to the others. Chen Xi
could not accept this reality and she found herself living every day
within the pain of struggling for her name and personal benefit. She no
longer had the heart to pursue the truth or focus on entry into life,
and she was particularly unable to perform her duty well. She fell into
pessimism and disappointment…. It was then that she came in front of God
in prayer and read His words—the judgment and chastisement of His words
awakened her soul and allowed her to clearly see the essence of
reputation and status as well as the consequences of her being bound and
afflicted by these things. She came to understand the significance of
performing her duty, the true value of life, and what kind of life is
true happiness. From then on she began to have proper goals to pursue
and no longer be subject to the strictures of face or status. She also
began to focus on pursuing the truth and fulfilling the duty of a
creature to repay God's love …
