The sermon yesterday spoke to me greatly.
I've been struggling with quite a few problems lately, thinking far beyond what I should be thinking.
I am not proud of those thoughts that have crossed my mind.
The problem with me is sometimes I think that I'm good, which stems from the fact that deep inside me, I know that I'm far from good.
Ironic isn't it?
I can't say that I've overcome this insecurity completely, but I daresay that the Lord is taking it bit by bit everyday, and He will continue to help me become a girl far more secure in Him than she ever did.
Friday's prayer meet was short for Jess and I, because we had to rush off on a blinkin' cab(the fare was $14) to watch The Spirits Play at NAFA. No doubt the play was awesome, but I'd rather be at the meet praying for the people in my caregroup...
Nevertheless, I was glad that I went for the prayer meet instead of like, Centrestage. Thank you EastBC and Dennis for praying for me; through them, I really felt God's assurance.
Then came Saturday, which was undeniably the best day of the week.
Sermon boosted my confidence a little in leading this young caregroup.
I may not be the best at communicating with people, or establishing a connection/understanding with them...but I know that I have the heart for people.
With this, coupled with God's power in me, what can I possibly be scared of?
But I still want to love. More and more.
How to have genuine concern for my community?
After much thought, I came to my conclusion. Love.
Love people with God's love, with God's grace, without any conditions.
He loved me despite everything that I've done; how can I reciprocate other than love Him and love His people more?
1 Corinthians 13:13
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
What I seek from the Lord today.
To love more.
