Full of Joy

Just came home from a 5 hours meeting at Church. Now feeling extremely tired.

I believe there are always something in one's life that occupies a lot of one's time, yet it gives you full of JOY from doing it. Be it your job, your study, your volunteering work, or even just watering your garden.

To me, it's my ministry at Church.

I know a lot of people who have so much passion in their jobs, to work harder, to wait for promotion, and to climb higher, then earn better, then a better living standard at the end. I am still finding myself that way in career wise. I love my industry just that I need time to figure out what are my best strength to carry out and put it into work.

With Ministry at Church, I think I can write a book about how much I love serving God and brothers sisters. My parents used to tell me (and still telling me) how inefficient I am spending most of my time towards church work, because I simply don't get pay for it, I give out my best "gift" but I get nothing in return. They said.

Before I got baptised, I thought the word "ministry" was basically just helping out doing volunteering work for church and everyone but using a nicer term. I just had fun and I just wanted some fun.

Until I was baptised and people started to give me leadership training, I then realised "Ministry" was not just about helping out at church, it's also a personal contact with God. It's all about attitude, about how you perceive the whole thing. If you one day go to church cleaning the chairs just because someone asked you to, it's ok you're helping out others. But if one day you go to church you realised the chair is dirty and you wanted to clean it for the next person, God is probably doing his work on you.

Although helping out at Church I don't get pay and vice-versa I give out my 1/10 offertory.  However I've NEVER, NEVER ( I mean Never) have experienced such thing where you keep giving out, nothing solid in return, yet it is FULL OF JOY. Of course it's nothing solid return to my pocket but I am walking a path that towards God; an attitude that God wants all of us to have in every aspects; an experience that God is giving me where I cannot ever feel the same everywhere else. But most importantly, I am learning how to love others unconditionally keep giving out just like how God does to us - An Unconditional Love. 


Having God is such a Goodness thing that I cannot find anything on earth to replace it's Goodness.


I pray that someday my friends who read this blog will go to church with me one day.

Amen.
