After serving in church for nearly 2 years. I begin to wonder have i been giving my best to Him all this while. Have i been trying to satisfy the requests from Man instead of God?
I had been lazy at times. Procrastinating sometimes. Oh well... at least i know that.
It is easy to fall into the trap of serving Man first followed by God. When work starts to become "real" work and the joy of serving diminishes. When perfection is defined by you, not God.
I did learn something. To trust God and not to lean on your own understanding. We cannot control how things are going to turn out. Only God can. We can pray. We can trust. We can surrender all the things to Him. God will make things work. He will use them for his glory. He will provide.
I begin to see a new definition of serving. Serving can be done anywhere, you don't always have to be a cell group leader, treasurer or programmer to serve God. Serving God can be inconspicuous, in the background, like praying for somebody. God gives everyone their own unique set of talents. So everyone can serve God. It's not how much things you do, can do or how prefect it turns out...but rather the source of the motivation when you do the things.

hey Benson!
Funny you bring this topc up. I saw this girl's shirt at church this morning and I think it said "Profess your faith to everyone you meet. (Use words if necessary)". Really struck a chord in me. Everyone has the power to win the flock back, not just church workers and volunteers. Don't lose sight of why we're here bro!
Do ya'll celebrate St. Patrick's day over there?
Hi mike,
Thanks bro. =) Nope, we dun celebrate st. patrick's day over here.
Yup i agree with you totally mike, that's the reason why i said we can serve God even when we are not given any titles. =)
haha anw ya lor i learnt the same thing over the weekend. God doesn't need volunteerism. He needs a heart of servanthood. It's different because we serve from the love that we have for Jesus. Jesus doesn't need us.. but we need Him so much. I'm super glad that u have typed this out for me to read haha.. i feel that the points i learn makes more sense now. (: Thanks. And thank God.
