... days into our dedication day
presentation practice - one of my discussion group member told me that
she won't be able to participate anymore due to the increasing
complexities of the dance steps. She was not confident that she could
learn the steps in time. It saddened our group but we never lost hope
and prayed for their rekindled enthusiasm... the next morning, our bible
scripture guide had this message which I thought was very fitting in
encouraging members to participate...
“ and He sent them” – Luke 9:2
Have
you ever wondered what people meant when they talk about calling,
vocation, or having a vision for your life. Sometimes we feel lost and
confused, as though God didn’t want most people to know His will, all seems complicated doesn’t it? – but the truth is
“If God calls us for a vocation, he will put the desire in us”.
Reflection:
Christian theologian and author Frederick Buechner once said, “the
place God call you to is the place where your deep gladness and
the world’s deep hunder meet.”
Prayer: Dear Lord, please help me live out Your call for my life
... the next day our dear brothers and sisters came to practice with renewed enthusiasm and commitment...
... and for all of this May God be Praised!!!
I
added this message and prayed for the best!
You
might be wondering, why have we spent our Fridays seating and listening to
people talk when we could have slept in or why we are sweating it out in a
humid park, trying to learn dance steps that looks funny and complicated when
we could have just gone out with our friends to dine out or watch movies.
My
friends all of these events are not by accident, God has put the desire in your heart to be
a part of a community – do not doubt, do not have second thoughts.
All your
sacrifices, your cooperation and willingness is YOUR answer to God’s call and
the fullfilment of your hearts desire –
it is not complicated after all!!!
Let
us serve God by means of our talent, time and treasure!!! May our life
reflect his greatness and glory!
... the next day our dear brothers and sisters came to practice with renewed enthusiasm and commitment...
... and for all of this May God be Praised!!!
