[ 229. Service ]
Today was special service... called Finding Marlin... for the uninformed... marlin is nemo's dad. Well, the clip that our multimedia team put together is really cute... haha. Nonetheless just wanna share a few thoughts for the district meeting on friday and for service today...
Acts 26:19 "... I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven."
On friday, alan shared from the passage on acts 26, where paul had an opportunity to defend for himself before king agrippa. I'm really impressed by paul's change by the Lord... and indeed, as i think through the entire sharing by alan, i began to think, if i were in paul's shoes, i would have condemned myself so much so that i don't think i'll allow myself to be used by God. Even if God wants to, i would be saying things like "no lah, you sure you want to use me? Are you kidding? Or you're just out to make fun of me?" I mean... Having the introvert streak in me, i tend to dwell on my past mistakes and experiences, then decide that God can't use someone like me. Over time, i began to realize, what's holding God's mercy and grace upon me is myself, my own barrier which i gotta overcome first. God has never condemned me; i used to put myself in my own jail. Now where i finally began to fly, things are constantly added onto my wings. Then sometimes i'll just get distracted by the things on my wings and lose focus on the vision. Guess i gotta learn how to look forward and soar high, and trust that God, being the wings beneath my wings, will bear the weight of all my burdens and allow me to move on.
Today's sermon was a familiar one: the parable of the lost son. However, it tied clearly to the sharing on friday about not losing our main purpose in christianity: our relationship with God. Guess i've been neglecting that, and not been doing as much about it as i think i should. Today was definitely a refreshing sermon, though nonetheless familiar.
The attendance for today.... myself, bowen, freedy, nicholas, yongding all came... and we had 2 visitors, alan and jinhong. Definitely a good time of fellowship and sharing, though none came to know to Lord today, but it was a great leap in their understanding of Christianity. Got to know alan today... and can really feel that sense of closeness and friendliness with him. Yupz, really glad that God has helped us build this relationship with him thus far, cause when we first started out it really didn't seem hopeful. Thank God, really.
