Last nite, Brother Francis Loh shared about "Listening to the Voice of God". Wow, he's a fatherly figure.. I was soooooooooooo "jealous" or rather envious of the other group who has him as facilitator.. But my two facilitators are great too!! They were his clients before wor.. hehe.. :)
I could see his love for God as he was sharing about his life, tears were welling up his eyes.. My.. A man in his Sixties (in fact he looked 55 to me, 45 to some other brothers), his love for the Lord and his desire to serve the Lord is a true reflection of what the Lord has done in his life.
Then I apologised to the brothers for walking out of the support group last Thursday because my issues were too overwhelming and there were many other issues that made me felt so terrible last Thursday. But thanks to the Lord that He preserved me and our fellowship, thanks the facilitators Brother Spidey Calvin and Brother Daryl (Brother Spidey said now I dont even call them by name, just address them by their "title" - facilitators) for following up with me. I thank the group for forgiving me and embracing me once again.
No.. My issues have not been resolved but I do pray that God will see me through and truly I will mature in my spiritual journey!
When Brother Cam Yew said about his health issues, my heart ached so badly. I was very ashamed of myself because I didnt care enough for this dear brother of mine, I've not been faithful in my prayers for all my brothers, I've been to preoccupied with my own issues that I've overlooked the need to love and care for others, even my family members. For a while, I have been numbing my emotions.. even now.. I'm careful not to touch them as yet. That's why I'm "quieter" lately.. :)
Actually, in life, there are so many problems bigger than my problems, in this world, there is a GOD who is BIGGER thank this universe, than the sum of all our problems even multiplied together but truly, when we're struggling or in pain, we need comfort, we need love, we need rest, we need to grief for a period of time, meanwhile God the Holy Spirit is not idling, He's in fact cleaning us up, molding us and tranforming us into the likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And Christ in me, the Hope of Glory but I need to be in Christ, who is my strong tower - in Him, I find refuge, peace and comfort.
