Day 5.

it was a day spent being amazed by His love for His people and for me yet again.
i am not sure if it is my maturing that is helping me see, but in any case, His unabounding grace has been letting me see Him in almost everything i do now. that i am able to wake up, that Singapore is able to enjoy her good life, that the world is functioning the way it is, Jesus is the reason why.

employment law has given me much insights on how a decision in a single case in the yesterdays can shape the law today. and the grace and divine plans of God has allowed wise men to lead the nation to where we are today.
intro to special education once again reminds me of the worth of every person He created on this world. everyone has the Reason to exist just because. who are we humans to think that one is less worthy than the other? disability is not in the person but in the relationship beween the person and the environment. it is only that we are 'typical' (note: not 'normal') that's why we appear to not have disabilities. imagine a library full of books in braille. can you or i read it now? who is the disabled one? i was deeply reminded that we should never forget to love people and use things, instead of using people and loving things. God loves everyone of us and our value of existence is in Him who is our Creator.

the mindblowing part was the 4-hour sharing with this YWAM missionary from India called Simone. by His divine plan, i happened to 'host' him because there were few who were available. but i gladly did so, for there was somuch i learnt from his experience with God.

through him i was humbled and sadly to say, ashamed how i have not been praying for the nations out there as much as i should. the trials and struggles that they face are greatly different from us. talk about laying down our lives. not to condemn myself or anyone else, for them that is really a matter of life and death, people persecute them and put them in life-threatening situations. for us, we probably have problems with dying to self when asked to place studies and career on a lower priority than His Kingdom matters... at one part, i was moved to tears when Simone shared his stories, not cos they are scary but i saw an outpour of His love in him and his obedience to God that allowed him to hear from the Holy Spirit all the time. He had done so much for the King, yet he is so eager to do more. to raise more funds, to inspire more to come along this mission.

next month, he'll be getting married, yet he hasn't bought his suit yet. in fact he was planning to borrow from one of his brothers to which his fiancee objected. (so cute!) the bigger lesson i am learning today is his wholeheartedness in pursuing God. i refuse to hear myself saying "this is him and his walk with God". it is a wrong mentality because all of us are called to go. this Kingdom does not just beling to Simone, does not just belong to YWAM, does not just belong to Pastor Jeff, or any other leaders. the Kingdom of God is ours to take ownsershp of. we have a part to play. but are we going all out to do so?
