what made me change my mind? i don't know. God? and M's love for Him? i guess what attracted me to him the most was his relationship with God and how he understood so well that everything in his life was created to be devoted to Him.
the fact that he was pretty good-looking was a huge plus point.
I had been attracted to ALOT of guys here in the states who are REally goodlooking. but, our personalities didnt really match, we had different interests, the wavelengths didnt complement well.
I have to say that if it werent for God, i would not have met M. Being on leadership also brought us closer together, cos then we're both being sharpened under the leadership of the church and sharpening one another as iron sharpens iron. he is a huge source of encouragement and i really grew alot in my relationship with God through alot of prayer , insight and encouragement from him.
i want to be honest with you with this.
If you are being worried for my life in terms of living a "dog's life":
worry no more.
My life, everything i have ever learned since i was a child: i never had an ambition to live for the Lord. it was always my agenda or the agenda my parents had for me, i never knew any better.
However, Now that i have found that there's such an opportunity to live for and serve the KING: i think that sounds like the best life prospect that i could ever have! It's all about HIM!
even in the psalms they sing songs about GOD move your hand, vindicate me FOR YOUR GLORY's Namesake!
He calls us in the great commision:
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
He didnt say "maybe you should go". he said "GO"
But i dont go alone, He is with me Always.
i dont want my life to be about me and my comfort.
if my life and Comfort are ruined for the sake of the gospel and brings glory to the Father, How amazing that would be! Praise Be to the LORD!
Jesus died for me, the very most reasonable thing i could do is to offer up my life as a living sacrifice.(romans 12:1)
and If God's plans for me are for me to live in america and mobilize people and tell them about the opportunity to live for Christ, so be it. if it is to go home to malaysia, and work for Daddy, so be it. If it is to go to Africa and live amongst the poor villagers and help them with sanitation, teach them about agriculture and provide them a means to hear about and worship the KING, so be it. If it is to proclaim Christ's love for man to the enemies of God in sufferings, so be it.
1 Corinthians 9:19-23 :
For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.
Whatever it takes, i want to be a part of God's tsunami wherever He may place me; I want to be a part of His work. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. I want to jump into His yoke, and not strive in vain under my own.
