LC 2008 - A Loyal Church
Reached back in Singapore at 11pm last night and I managed to reach home at a quarter past midnight. I was really zonked out at that point in time. But my heart was still excited about God. The entire LC refreshed me in my commitment to the Lord.
As always, I will normally set my objectives and see how God will meet them one by one. I can only say that God met them not just one by one, but He exceeded beyond what I have expected. As I was thinking through, I reflected in my life that sometimes things get so difficult and life is just so challenging and I really don't know how to challenge myself beyond the norm. Setbacks, betrayals, distrust, misunderstandings, unrealised dreams, disobedience, loneliness...etc.. all these are very real issues in mankind. However, I thought that it is only when we find God then we will be able to resolve all these.
Try helping someone when you don't even care about the person. Try showing care and attention when your heart is angry with him or her. I call it hypocrisy. I fall into this trap sometimes too. That is why I need to learn to live my actions with my inward heart attitudes.
I realised that my maturity in Christ is no longer in the role that I play. My maturity is simply in how much I know God, not how much I serve God. Yes, knowing God will bring about our gratitude and desire to serve Him. But then, serving God hard might not mean that you know God.
I only hope that we won't fall into the trap of just serving but not knowing the person behind these services.
I hope that God will humble me more. It is tough but I simply need His grace to move on.
