We do discuss issues here and there but not as much in detailed as we did yesterday.
A thought that was thrown out is really that many people end up fearing taking up new things and to do more because at a point of time in their lives they went so full on that they almost burnt out. But as they stayed on in their relationship with God, there is a personal barrier of serving more and taking up greater responsibilities. Yet, the beautiful thing is that as we keep our relationship with God strong, we then find ourselves becoming more open and willing to take that step out of our comfort zone, albeit challenging.
And as we serve more, we need to learn to come to that place of total abandonment to God, drawing strength from Him each single day. History only repeats itself when we do things based on our own strength, wisdom and ability. As I grow older now, I've learnt and am still learning the importance of grounding each day in prayer, reading the word and also to hear and obey the voice of the Holy Spirit. Quick to do what I've heard.
Nothing beats the joy of knowing the purpose of your life and knowing that each step of your way is ordained and guided by God. And to know that every singe prayer you make is being answered simply empowers me to pray more and do more.
Min and I really want to do what God has called us to do what He purposed us for us to do in our time in school. Things need to change and the change got to start from us. Having heard, we need to do. We need to act upon our faith!
And one thing for sure? God is a God of new things. Just when we thought that we are there, our personal limit gets stretched all over again as God begins to reveal to us the next stage. The very time that we say that nothing else needs to be done or everything is so boring and that there is nothing new, it is the time that we have closed our spiritual eyes and ears and have grown weary and hardened. Let us remain tender and open to all that He wants to speak and be faithful in obeying them! I like what my leader says, "my life is not my own anyway". We do not live our lives based on others, but we live a life that is fulfilled by God.
God, continue to speak to me the things you want done. I'll follow your leading by your Spirit every single day and I know it will lead me to the call you have over my life. Help me Holy Spirit to follow through. Give me the wisdom and understanding to carry them out and as I speak to people. I know you have something greater in store for me and the ccg. Speak to us continually! In Jesus name I pray, amen.
What we perceive to be a destination is but part of the journey that God has in mind. He begins to show us the next part of the journey when we reach our perceived destination...
