last official ccf
yesterday was sharing day.
we sat in a huge sharing circle with about 90ppl or so and we passed a bottle of water around after worship and whoever had the bottle had the chance to share something.
and i learned some pretty important things yesterday. from ppl’s sharing.
***
serving is meaningless. meaningless, if you do not know why you are serving. serving is meaningless. if you serve just for the sake of serving. serving is meaningless. if you serve for any other reasons than serving for God.
serving for church, serving for christian fellowship, serving for school. just becuase you feel like you should serve in an area or place – is not something God asks of you. serving is not about serving in an institution. what i mean is serving takes place in the heart. and you shouldn’t do it just cuz it’s something like TC or some other big event. serving should come from the heart. and any purpose other than serving for God is wrong. and meaningless.
***
growth occurs when you fall. sometimes success in our eyes is not success in God’s eyes. just because God calls you to do something, doesn’t mean he will bless it. maybe he calls you to do something to learn. when you fail at something, it is through the pain and mistakes we make that we grow.
if we are having low grades. maybe God is making us humble ourselves before him. in any circumstance there is a reason for it. and God is never wrong.
my friend said God called her to lead a cell group. and it was a strong calling. however, when she started her cell group. only on average 1 person came at a time. and it really discouraged her, but what seemed like a failure in her eyes was a success in his becuase it taught her a lesson on how to persevere. and i think learning this type of lesson is really hard. because it means we have to face failure.
***
we do things, when we see results. but doing things for God means we see results when we’re in heaven. it is really hard to see the fruits of our works, because we’d rather see justifiable results.
but we should not just focus on earthly things but learn to see why we’re doing things. and thats because we’re doing it for him.
***
live like Paul.
we shoud live a life of Power, Passion and Prayer
***
we need to learn to judge why we really do the things we do. we need to live lives.. that are not self-centered. but God-centered.
***
submit to God becuase in the end. he always wins anyways.

there was alot of things coeverd. and i learned alot. ccf is my home now and i have come to love how much of a family we are.
i hope the bonds made will stay strong and will last till i come back next study term.
