living for nothing less than ourselves

matt6:33 “33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

they gave their lives for God.

let me share with you guys abt nigel and another story.

for nigel, consistenly he had been going home late at night despite his injured arm. the truth is, with an injured arm, wouldn’t gathering contacts be a burden? He did not think this way. from monday and tuesday, he went to ahmad ibrahem and yishuntown earlier than the assigned time. running after contacts, with a cast of his arm. he said it will hurt if run too much but he just did. He had something that its worth learning from.

  child-liked heart.

after which, he and a few group members decided to make the bridge diagram with maple. hurhur. dont know how but they are in the mids of it. after which, he continued to find contacts with leonard and i even when it rained. he just ran for the contacts knowing that going home late would be suicide for hiim.

a simple heart that wants to do something for God. naught and irritating he may be, but when it comes to serving God. he gave his all. opposite of he was previously, black magic, other religious stuffs are the topics he speaks to a guy that gives his all to serve despite physical limitations and family.

 

next i wanna talk abt someone and as its confidental, the name is changed to jonny, he’s one of the cls of North c.

approx 11pm when david was studying and i giving my shpding to leonard. jonny’s mum called david and to find out that jonny was thrown out of the house but his dad. so at 11plus we found him at the stairs outside his house. left alone and discouraged i guess? so david posted a question ” so jonny, what do you think about this situation?” He said ” this made me wanna serve God even more.” 

i was wrong.

 despite all this circumstances, opposed by teachers and family, he continued to stand strong in his faith in God. taking circumstances as stepping stones to go higher. similiar to Paul in the bible. Jonny was wasting outwardly in the outer game. But his inner being was refreshed by God’s assurence every moment. His heart was refreshed and stronger for God than before.  indeed, serving God is tough but its possible and enjoyable when we do it with God.
