Hope and Dreams
Yesterday, is a day of much gains. I gain much from the experiences of the day, stories that I heard, sharing of Gideon. We were ask to share our blessings, I didn't had a chance to share mine. If I had, I would share that thank God for the full attendance, yesterday. It's been long. Been long that all came. Though it's not the same service. But, at least all, had came to worship him in service. I hope they have all gotten something. And I pray that one day, it will be the entire group on the table exchanging laughters and whatnots.
We didn't had much visitors. I don't know about the rest, but for me, I felt that I have shortchange those lives that might have been touched, should I have put in that extra effort. When I was younger, I was "pushed" by my leader to love others. I finally grew, to want to love others. The Easter service is good, many lives must have been touched. How about the many others out there? When will we stop looking at our own "beauty from pain"?
Self absorption gets irritating at times.
We already have God's presence in our life 24/7, the extra effort put in, in the Easter Service is really for those who didn't have his presence in their life.
You get it?
Yes you do.
Are you doing it?
God's love don't stop after Easter, and so the work is not done yet.
Shame on those who say they are tired, you are tired because you spend too much energy soaking in your own pain and problems. Shame.
Sorry that I have digress from the tittle. I just wanted to share a piece of my mind. I am angry at myself, how sometimes I get selfish. And I get angry with the others who are selfish too. Yet I recongnise that I am in no position to judge. But if we spend lesser time indulging in our emotions and problems, we can do more.
Back to Hopes and dreams, looking through my Believer Music schedules and progress report, I'm reminded of hopes and dreams. I doing pretty good in my beginner course, the module had just ended and I'm embarking on a new course. The path to being really good, would take some time, but I'm glad that, instead of dreaming, I'm taking steps to actualise them. It had just occur to me, that in ministry, we often end up, who we envision to be. People without vision, actualise their vision too, they float around, aimlessly, going witht the flow. And those, with a Godly vision, count the cost, pay the price, make the many sacrifices, and they will finally get to the places where God once showed them in their dreams.
"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4
I always trust God, to be the maker of all things, that include dreams and reality.
