SUNDAY IN CHIANGMAI
Am I hearing him right? He asked me to pray. Just pray...
This is what God said to me when Commandant Joseph asked us to ask God to give us our 'report card'
As always... My love for you never changes. I have shown you many things and you know what is needed. Be parallel with me. In line... You have been obedient and I am pleased. But you know there are things you have to work on. Old habits, runaway thoughts and emotions.
I've never been more glad thanduring the times you spend with me. Times like these. But I need you to do it more! There are things I can only tell you if you linger in me.
I love your dancing, your singing, your drumming. Your worship pleases me. But what pleases me most? Your desire to see people worship me in Spirit & in truth. Yes it does frustrate you. I can see. But remember I give the growth, I give the increase. You pray... Just pray for people to be stirred up. For people to be obedient to my calling. Your time is not here yet.
Here I am again, watching things happen... I want to play a part in it God. I don't want to be a bystander! Let me do your dirty work. But God says my work is prayer. There's something about prayer. You can't see the process. Maybe I have to put down this desire to have people recognising that I'm doing great works for Him.
As long as you think that prayer is a less important job, it'll remain that way.
My roomie Uncle Allan just encouraged me before he fell asleep. "Not many boys your age are so willing/ready to serve God. Most would be dreaming about making their first million."
I guess I'm different that way. I guess I see no point in working for things that are fruitless. Commandant Josepth was sharing with us that there are 3 things that have eternal value.
1) The word of God.
2) Our relationship with God
3) Our relationship with people
Forgive me if I don't view the world the way others do.
