A refreshing Sunday

Ps Ben shared a powerful analogy today.

A little boy came to the piano before a huge audience. As he sat before the piano, he started to play. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. The audiences was "awed". Then, the "Grandmaster" came out and told the little boy to continue. He sat beside the little boy and played together with him. Together, they played a piece of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star that simply enchanted the audiences.

Analogy: Many of us are unrefined. However, when God comes INTO the picture, the things we do simply becomes a Masterpiece.

See.. It is God's business that we, as HIS children are IN the Freedom Business! God is our Super-Partner in wherever we are!

Together with a powerful sermon is a powerful testimony! I was very touched by the testimony that a brother shared. He used to be a very angry person and people often don't like him. He shared about how angry he was with his father and how he changed when he got to know God. He learned how to love people in general and how to love his father. Honestly, if he didn't share, I wouldn't have known that he was an angry person in the past. What I see is a guy who is joyful from inside out!

As he shared, my thoughts turned to the clients whom I am serving. His story is so similar to those whom I am serving. I ask myself - What can I do for them? What can I do to motivate them that there is MORE to life then what it is already been giving to them? How can I motivate them to look beyond their poor status (poor in general) and keep going!!! Many times, people are trapped in thoughts like - Nothing I do can ever change my situation. Since I have been living like that and survived, I am sure that my offsprings can too. What's the point of working hard? I am glad for the brother for he has found God. In God, he has found freedom. In God, he has found love. In God, he has found strength and wisdom and capability.

When it's altar call time, I responded to wanting to serve the urban poor in Singapore. More so than ever, what God reminded me was this: My heart has always been towards the people and especially the children in the 3rd world countries. I always thought that I would want to do overseas mission there. And today, God reminded me that NOW, currently, I am in the BEST place there could ever be in Singapore. I am in an organization that serves the lowest 4% income. The poorest of the poor in Sg - The urban poor. I am convinced that where I am working right now is where God wants me to be in so that HE can lead me to an even greater place. I responded to the altar call that I want to make God's business my business. I want HIM to lead me. May HE grant me HIS wisdom and joy in every part of my life.

*blessed*
