9th Jan
went city harvest with Joyce and Romel. Nice experience! Got to know some friendly and SINCERE people like Yuxing, Lester, Daniel, Angeline and Li Wei! joined them for drinks though it was the first time we met. felt so like a fun cell to be with! so tempted to join their church, haha! If only our church youths are like them!
i'm not saying that our youths are not good or the like, but i guess to reach the level of faith that the CHC youths really possess, we still have a long way to go. Their level of faith is so evident in their actions. it's really like what Ps Ron said, how much we desire shows forth in our actions! It's not so much the bursting energy and enthusiasm that the youths show when jumping or clapping that i'm touched by. But more of their ACTIONS. Like they invite us to join their cell for lunch, they help us to find seats at the expense of disrupting others, they try to strike up conversation with my very shy colleague, Romel, and the fact that i actually ENJOYED (for the first time i think) myself in the company of people i barely know! I thought to myself.. "wow, this is cool!" I dont feel like an outsider at all, i dont feel like a newcomer to their church!
Faith work wonders man!!
I really hope to see that one day, our church youths will rise up to be like them. Youths of such strong faith and worship. Youths who are HISTORY MAKERS, PLANETSHAKERS. Youths who worship in spirit and in truth. Youths who start small but end big, by the grace of God. Youths who are filled by the Holy Spirit each and every time they come to the house of God. Youths who possess the very PRESENCE of GOD.
That's a big goal. but that's not impossible. hmmm... but like what the pastors said, all big things start small. so i hope our small improvements in the youth services will end BIG. Let us be faithful servants so that God will use us, for His Glory.
I thank God for moving in our church and i hope he continues to do so!
Let us pray!!
Put God at the beginning of everything you do (the start of this yr, 2005, studies, work, r/s, ur life etc), knowing well that he finishes what he begins.
