I will serve You while I'm waiting:))
I just want to share this
inspiring video which was shown to us during our Youth Summit at CEC Central last May 25-26, just after Pastor Rey Isaac's preaching.
CLICK ME!
This
almost (well, almost cause I tried to stop it!) made me cry 'cause I can totally relate. I'm sure each one of us could relate to it as well! Just like the child in that video, I accepted God as my Lord and His mission for my life, and that is to
"Guard the post" until He comes back.
As a child of God, we have our duty and responsibility, and that is to lead other people to Jesus.
I remember one preaching that said: "Kung ang plano lang ni Lord sa bawat isa sa atin ay maka-receive ng salvation, bakit pa tayo andito hanggang ngayon? Sana kinuha Niya na tayo. Pero bakit pa tayo andito? Dahil meron pa tayong purpose na dapat ma-fulfill." But who said that it is easy? Being a Christian is never an escape to life's trials. Believers or unbelievers alike encounter tribulations in life. But what makes Christians different is that we have
peace that comes from God in times like these. Peace that comes from God and not from the world.
In the video, the strong winds, the rain, and the snow symbolizes the trials in our life. I myself have been tempted to give up when I have fallen rock-bottom in my deepest trials. But just like the child, it doesn't really matter if we have fallen many times, what matters is that we learn how to stand up each time we fall! God would continue to give us strength when we are weak, and in those "rock-bottom" moments we experience and learn how to worship God deeply. Rick Warren in Purpose Driven Life stated that praising God in the midst of trials is the deepest form of worship. Honestly, it's hard to draw close to God when we feel successful, right? That's why He brings us to that point in our lives. You feel pain? Cry out to Him. He loves to hear your honesty.
Living in this world is never easy. But I know everything that happened in this earth will be worth it, and when the time comes that we will spend our lives in eternity with Jesus, may we hear the sweetest words from Him that says,
"Well done, good and faithful servant."
