Bigger than...
I went to Arun's church today in Pasir Ris and it was nice seeing him again and catching up a little, finding that things hadn't really changed, even his sense of humour. Some people just be so funny so much of the time and I think it's really a talent. And it was good to worship together too, good to see that God is moving all over Singapore even through different churches, different ministers and different styles of worship.
It's good to be back, even though it's only going to be for a short month, but I feel a little purposeless. Most of my days are spent at home taking care of my niece, or meeting up with friends. I just miss the busy lifestyle of Leeds. I wish to be a blessing to my friends and family but it seems as though I can do so little or I am so unmotivated.
I pray that I can be a bigger blessing to my family. I don't really know what I can do for them. Besides washing the dishes, keeping my room tidy and things like that, I pray that He will use me above and beyond and including these things. Cos these things are so easy and yet so hard. I pray that His joy and fellowship will be in our family, that we will really encourage one another in our walks with Him the way He intended us to.
I think sometimes, the things that are dearest to us we find most difficult to talk about with the people dearest to us. At least this is true for me. But I believe He has a plan that is so much more abundant that what I am experiencing now...
Arun's pastor said today at the closing of his sermon: "It will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end." It was funny when he said it, but very encouraging too. Cos you know everything is going to be perfect when Christ comes again. And we know then that we do not struggle in vain because we have a God who is on our side and who has made His resources available for us to win.
Let's just realise the truth in our hearts. That God is bigger than our past. That God is bigger than our failings. He knows that we are imperfect anyway and He still loves us. He even takes pleasure in us! That God is bigger than even life! Cos neither death nor life will be able to separate us from the love of God! That no matter how you feel about your life now, the truth is that the victory has been won! And I thank God cos He is going to make this one month here a meaningful and impactful one.
