i will soar...
i will run...
i won't grow tired...
when on His Name i call
everytime i lose almost all my energy after a whole day's work, it's really comforting to realize the promises we behold from the Lord Jesus.
"He is our strength when we are weak..."
"For the Lord is never weary...His ways are beyond my thoughts..."
"He will NEVER leave us nor forsake us..."
"He has come to bring hope to the hopeless..."
...especially that i know, i am His child; He has given me the right to become a citizen of God; to be included in His Body - the church that i belong to.
di talaga naiiwasan na mapagod sa super dami ng inaasikaso ko, i think God has brought me to a point of realization that being in a ministry could be tiresome, lalo na kung hindi ka spiritually equipped for what God can ask of you to do. kung puro ministry ka lang and you're not backing it up with your personal time and deep relationship with the Lord; you'll drown. you'll be having a hard time catching up with the work God is doing in your life or in your church.
tama yung isa kong friend sa church. mahirap din pala ang ginagawa ng mga full-time workers ng Lord. actually, lahat naman tayo full-time Christians; anywhere we can be a living testimony of what the Lord Jesus has been doing in your lives. yung gusto ko lang i-point out yung mga nagwowork mismo sa churches, yung ministry talaga ng church yung inaasikaso nila. pero un nga eh, para sa kanila kahit na nakakapagod, fulfilling din lalo na't they know they're doing this for the Lord alone.
sa case ko kasi, nakakaramdam ako ng pagod kasi physically exhausting din siya; youth ministry pa man din ang hina-handle ko...siyempre dapat full of vigor ka kasi that's what the young people are mostly described with. i have a strong passion for the young people and i want them to live their lives at an early age for the Lord...gusto ko nakikita sila na ginagamit nila yung energy nila that has an eternal purpose. sayang lang kasi yung ine-exhaust nila kung pointless rin yung ginagawa nila.
so ayun. napapagod ako; dumadating din ako sa point of weariness. ito na nga ba yung sinasabi ko eh....ganito yung nabasa ko sa Heavenly Man. he came to a point na puro ministry yung ginagawa niya kasi nakasanayan na niyang ganun ang gawin niya; though he knows it's for the Lord's Name, napapabayaan na niya yung personal time niya with the Lord. well, sa morning i do read a few scriptures to strengthen and keep my day in line with the Lord's will pero sa gabi...yari...inaantok na ako, nawawalan na ako ng time to do such things. i do read my bible, i reflect on it pero di ko na gaano nakakausap ang Lord. nakakahiya.
the Holy Spirit is speaking to me that at this early stage of my commitment to the Lord, i must make it to a point that i am balancing my life with everything that revolves around me. it's quite overwhelming especially that our youth ministry is enlarging its territory and impartation as well (glory to God).
i believe God has called me in this ministry and i will continue asking our great Lord to refresh me, anoint me, and strengthen me as i walk in His glorious path.
hallelujah! praise Him for His love and faithfulness endure forever!
