Herbert, one of the speaker said, "I thought i knew how to love until I went to mozambique. And I realized I really don't know. I thought I have figured it out to follow Jesus but I really have not."
It hits me so much. I basically feels the same thing when arrived in this small but such an eye opener province of mozambique, PEMBA. When we serve in various ministries, have our own ministries, gave up most just to follow Jesus; we might think that we already figured it out, but Jesus is alot more complex than that. We really can't figure Him out because it's a process until the day we meet Him face to face. Every new journey He will take us or ask us to do He will require us to die from the old us and old ways. Jesus will say, time for a new thing! Drop it all. All those old ways! It wont really wort out for your new assignment and you will see yourself struggling to start a new you and new perspective. All along I thought, somehow I have figured it out but not, and I am learning day by day of intimacy with the Lord! I knew He is so tangible in my life ever since but there is always more. I thought I have known how to love from all that I have seen, from all the nations I have learned to love until God gave you a woman with total skin desease to be prayed for ans lay hands and all I knew about loving a stranger just totally crashed! I realized I have really not known what it feels to really love a person beyond your own benefit and totally none in return and with total risk just to follow Christ. I found out it's not easy what Jesus do to those bunch of people that comes for help in His presence. God showed me I knew just so little about how it is to have that compassion and eventually showed me how! He breaks me! All that i know; but right away build me up! What an amazing God we have! He will bring you somewhere to break you and make you complete again by His love and grace! That is the God that I serve! That is my Saviour Jesus! My redeemer! The perfector of faith! The Lover of my Soul! Every experience and time spent for the Lord counts! I would rather be in a place God called me and let His name reign than a place where people only knows my name. Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. - Psalm 84:10 Thank You Lord! Show me Your ways! Show me Your heart Lord! Let me die to live again! 😊 I am alive because You DIED. I am here because You ROSE! |
