God is always there with you!!!

It is really tough and tiring. Tough in pushing myself down to St Hilda’s to get contacts even when my team is unable to come, tough in approaching big groups, tough in approaching gangsters, tough in sustaining my spirit of enthusiasm and tough in putting up my courage. Tiring most of the times when it is like after a whole day of school and going down to get contacts and shepherding and calling up of contacts when I reach home and starting my revision and completing my mountain like homework and finally sleeping at 2 plus 3( and and and……). Well, this is my normal routine nowadays, since I decided to commit to CG08.

However, through all these, God spoke to me and what seems like refreshing water was poured unto my burned out spirit.

The other day when I was getting contacts ‘alone’, I had a sudden thought. “Is ‘alone’ the word to use?” Well, the answer was just shot back directly into my face. “NO!!!” Of course, all these I am doing, I am not doing alone. I am doing all these with the one who instructed me to do, God. Immediately, I started talking to God and did it with God. Telling Him how tired I was and sharing every thought I have with Him. Such as the people walking by, those that rejected me and whine to Him when there was no one in sight for a long time. I would say it was my best experience and best of spirit compared to the past few days that I went down.

All in all, the message is this. We are all doing this pioneering with the one who instructed us to do, not alone. Though sometimes we may be seen alone, but in our hearts we are not alone. Besides, doing God’s work without God’s power guiding us is like a tortoise trying to climb a pole. When you get this and really get it right, everything you do will seem so different. Your energy never seems to run out and your excitement never drops. For in Phil 4:13 says ‘I can do everything through him who gives me strength.’

Jia You to all pioneering teams. God is with you. - Winstar
