I just came back from Business Camp at Ngee Ann. All the hustle and bustle a week after the trip form Seattle. When my sister or mother ask me are your friends going, whether the handbills has been sent out, other miscellaneous issues that concerns the contacts assurance to the GNS. I must honestly say I stumbled in my faith. I realise that I was too involved by the worldly issues that ranges from serious GL work to fancily staring into the computer screen.
As a harvester, I was like a maidservant sleeping and not preparing the oil to await the master's arrival. Not confirming details of whether my contacts are coming, what time can they meet, how can I consolidate them well.
Insignificant these stuff may seem. But then I wonder how would Jesus see them and work them out whole heartedly.
Fotunately, I also stumbled upon the old edge cast mini's in the midst of my playlist Matt 9. Having a heart of Jesus going through every barrier just to get to us and all I have to do is to pick up the phone and call my friend, that certain classmate or that freshie that I made. Not a duty but bringing God's Word alive and reaching out God's heart to them.
This also reminds me that I haven't been reading His Word and nothing can convince these hopefuls if nothing comes into the conveyer.
Also, reminding me that it's all about Him.. all about the Saviour. The one that is actually going to save and complete my friends' lives. 2Cor.10 Boasting in the Lord, not comparing myself with Reg3/4 youths instead looking to God and measuring to his standards, his potential in us, not recognition or attention.
Facing trials and rejoyce that our friends who we think will come, not want to come. I should look to the ones that are not invited to the wedding banquet. Rejoyce that God is bigger than our problems. Remembering that the grace of Jesus convicts them and not to condemn them. That they should feel uncomfortable at least they know they are loved by the Lord Almighty.
I realise that I have been too selective...choosing the people I want to bring and knowing they are more receptive. Don't Jesus love them just as much, they people that slips my mind...obvious or oblivious. Do I even scan through my possibility list?
I tell you I begun telling my friends about GNS right away...better late than never. Those that replied said thank you and will be considering about coming. Now, I'm more worried about not having enough tickets. Jesus. I'm small and You are Big. I'll shall take the small steps and I believe You will do the rest.
Tickets!!! argh Friday tickets. Pardon the messy thought. But I pray that VFC youths are ready to reach the thousands that will be flooding in. Oh Lord help us! Thank You Jesus
