7th June 08(Sat)
was supposed to prepare my testti for LTF as my CG, 'testmony', was supposed to be in charge of sharing or youy may call it P&W. johnL was supposed to lead in singing while jared and johnW was in charge of the games, which left me as the only one in my CG doing nothing, hence i was assigned to do the testimony. i spent the friday night thinking on how to make a speech as the bible says that we must 'commit everything we do with all our hearts'. in the end, i shared 2 verses in fellowship and since God says all gd things should be shared, i will be blogging abt this.
James 1: 2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Micah 7: 9
Because I have sinned against him,
I will bear the LORD's wrath,
until he pleads my case
and establishes my right.
He will bring me out into the light;
I will see his righteousness.
A lot of times when we face through problems, we feel tired, frustrated and sometimes even when you do your best, you get the worst in return. we always turn to God, expecting him to give an antidote which solves the problem you are facing in a second. however, the antidote only solves the problem we are facing through temporarily. in the end, the same problem will return as we soon realize that the antidote only stops the pain, not the problem. the problem inside us will soon continue to attack the rest of our body even without us realizing it. that is the main reason why God heals us through a long and painful treatment. God is giving us 'chemotherapy' where we sacrifice a lot for example our 'hair', just to get rid of our sinful, worldy habits and to strenghten our weaknesses. at the end of this painful treatment, not only God conform us even more but we also develop patience and self-control. so CONTINUE TO PERSERVERE!!!
