The moment I read this from Keane's blog, it reminded me of the reflection card I wrote yesterday. Throughout this year, God has been really showing me the need of His love among people, even those that are right beside us.
Then I came across and read this post from Nana's blog and am startin to wonder whether God is trying to get something through to us. The fact that the same thing keeps repeating itself is kinda wierd yet interesting :)
I remembered someone asking me whether I will go into missions in the future. I don't know but if God calls, I want to. Praying that when the call is there, I will follow.
One thing's for sure. The need is there and even right where we are at whether we realize it or not. It does not have to be someone whose halfway across the world, famished and has no money at all. Missions can be right at your door! What about the neighbour whose experiencing the brokenness of family? Or even a friend who just needs a listening ear and yearn for something more than the emptiness of life?
Many a times, we just get so caught up with the rat race of life that we treat the rat race as life. Is there more to life than just this?
Matthew 9:37-38
"The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field."
Signin off : To certain someone, stop trying for it will not work. Esther is determined not to do the same mistake ovr again
