I LOVE TEACHING THE WORD OF GOD!!!
kanina after ng cell group na pina-handle sakin ng youth pastor namin, i could almost feel my voice wanting to stretch out my vocal cords and scream my heart out that it's a great feeling sharing God's Word to young people. inalis na ni Lord sa heart ko yung hiya...kahit na may sumisilip-silip na tao sa pintuan nung bahay, ayos lang sakin. God did not give us the spirit of timidity and all praises unto Him kasi God is faithful with His Words.
as in nung pauwi na ako sa jeep, gusto ko na talagang sumigaw sa tuwa and i-express kay Lord that the joy in my heart is overflowing. super! truly that what i am feeling right now can NEVER be compared pag tinext ako ng taong nag-iinspire sakin or kahit ano pang iharap sakin na karangyaan sa buhay. don't get me wrong, but, i also love my job. it's like doing the same work of the Lord but in a different marketplace. yung isa kasi, sa church mismo...sa youth; the other one sa hospital...deals with patients wherein their hopes have been deflated.
it seems that God is working on what He has spoken to me. it's a verse that really struck me and the very moment that i read it, i knew it is what God wants me to envision my life with. here it goes:
Acts 20:24
But my life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God’s wonderful kindness and love.
by the time na nabasa ko for the very first time 'tong verse na 'to, i was just starting to be inclined in handling young people and deep in God's Word. it's like hearing God's voice na parang ito dapat ang maging buhay ko. kaya nga kahit na wala pa akong confirmation from other people, particularly mga pastor sa church namin and other leader, to go to a Bible school, sabi ko sa big bro ko sa church i-train niya muna ako; mentor ko siya kumbaga...ako ang kanyang padawan (Jedi term). haha.
hay. now i realized ang dami pang gustong ipagawa si Lord sa akin. saka na talaga muna yung ibang bagay-bagay jan. madali na yun, kilala na kasi ni Lord kung sino...i just need to put my trust in Him para ma-reveal Niya sa akin according to His own perfect moment. God works in mysterious ways. but for now, ito muna. i need to focus first on my personal spiritual growth and ministry kasi super nagsisimula pa lang akong mag-enjoy gawin ang work of God to manifest His glory to others.
may i find joy and regain strength each day to fulfill His purposes as i continue to press on, keep the faith, and be driven by the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.
