My little reminder!
After all these years, if there's one other verse that I could recall from my bible apart from John 3:16, it would have been Matthew 28:19. The weather may change unpredictably, people may come and go in our lives but this verse remains ever so close to my heart!
So, once again, after so many years, I'm reminded of the purpose of my existence! One of the speakers for yesterday's combined YA in church, Tan Wai Ling, spoke about the shelter home that she has started in Nepal 3 years ago especially for those infected with the HIV. When GOD called her to go to Nepal, she obediently left her comfort zone, fulfilled her calling and lived among the local people in Nepal for the last 6 years! She is indeed one faithful servant of the LORD. That was no menial task but as she remains faithful to her calling, GOD has provided for all her needs! "Wow..... can I do the same?" is the BIG question.
Time and again, I question myself, "will I be like Jonah or will I say, "Yes, Lord, wherever you send me, I will go!"
It is a blessing to be called a child of GOD and to know that each one of us is HIS precious child. As I experience HIS overflowing love in my life, it is my passion and my desire to share the good news to people all around me.... So help me LORD to bind these words in my heart and live as YOU would want me to live.... purposefully!
Below is my little reminder..... forgot who wrote it, but it's a good & meaningful reminder to me!
My friend, I stand in judgement now,
And feel you are to blame somehow,
On earth I walked with you each day,
And never did you show the way!
You know the Lord in truth and glory,
But never did you tell the story,
My knowledge then was very dim,
You could have led me safe to HIM.
Though we lived together on this earth,
You never told me of the second birth,
And now I stand this day condemned,
Because you failed to mention HIM.
You taught me many things that's true,
I called you a friend and trusted you,
But I learn now that it's too late,
You could have saved me from this fate,
We walked by day and talked by night,
And yet you showed me not the light,
You let me live and love and die,
You know that I'll never live on high.
Yes, I called you a "friend" in life,
And trusted you through joy and strife,
And yet on coming to this end,
I cannot now call you my friend!
