It was my second visit to Wesley Missions today. I must say that I am very impressed by their announcements. It's a pre-made video of all the announcements and the RGB does not have to keep clickin~ Awesome ah..Fei fei, you might wanna consider that. Then you equip the RGB people with a new skill.
The past two weeks have been rather tiring and treacherous. It felt like God was really missing in action for some time during the weekdays. Not that I do not know that my God is omnipresent, but it's just the queer lost feeling I had while having to handle some things back here in OZ. At the end of the sharing by Pastor Barry, he gave a call to the entire congregation to kneel before the Lord. As I reflected upon the word shared in Titus chapter 2. SELF CONTROLLED. I think I have practiced restraint for the past week..so much that it gets too suffocating. As he shared about the values that various genders in their respective age groups should hold, I realised young women had a really long list. I suppose that explains the preparation we have to go through until we reached full blossom. Self control-what's that to you? Not flare up when angered? Not indulgent in the things of the world? Not eating too much?
As I knelt before the Lord, I cannot help but feel that this was one of the weeks when I felt that the visits from God only happened Sunday. Before I could "sink" into the thought of why am I feeling it's only a Sunday visitation, God brought me to a prayer request I had for the week.
When I had to give to my grocery fund for the month, I had hesitations because I am kinda out of my budget this month after buying two reference books. This Sunday morning before I left for church, my uncle gave me 50 bucks for my use. That was the exact amount I need to pay for my fund. In my heart, I just sang to Jesus.."You have been good, You have been good, I am in wonder how it could be. You've been good, You've been good, in so many ways you've been good to me."
I somehow came to hear about this story- The gospel according to you
The most beautiful story given to man
Was written long ago
By Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
Of Christ and His mission below.
And you write a gospel, a chapter a day,
By your deeds, whether faithless or true;
When others read it, what will they think
In the gospel according to you?
It's a wonderful story, the Gospel of love,
As it shines with Christ's life divine.
Oh, that its truth might be told again
In the story of your life and mine.
You are writing each day a letter to all;
Take care that the writing is true.
It's the only gospel some people may read,
The gospel according to you.
Author unknown
I pray that I will not miss God's visitations on the other days besides Sunday.
