past
When griping grief the heart doth wound,
and doleful dumps the mind opresses,
then music, with her silver sound,
with speedy help doth lend redress.
-William Shakespeare
Jesus the Evangelist
With the spirit strong in me, I took another step to serve my Lord.
On Wednesday, I finally made the choice to step out and evangelise. Things have changed alot within me the past weeks. It was my first time agreeing to do witnessing in campus. I don't know why I agreed to do it this time but I want to do everything I can for God. When He comes with a calling, I can't say no. Another evidence of my breakthrough in God. I believe I'm not in Campus Crusade for nothing. Thinking back, I questioned myself how on earth I got myself involved in Campus Crusade. But now I believe it's God's plan and He just wants to use me.
After prayers, I walked around school with Robin to spread the gospel. There were a number we spoke to and the experience from it was invaluable, though there were of course people who shunned us. I met different kinds of people and my encounter with the first group was special. God really taught me a few things from it. I can't explain it here, only in person, but it wasn't what I expected. I just know now after this week, I will never hesitate to sacrifice my free time to walk out in school and reach out to the students in Christ. I know Jesus would have done that.
I admit, in the past, countless opportunities have always been laid out for me to work for God but I always shun away. Robin has always encouraged me to turn up for Harvest Day but I just didn't want to commit. I did not want to step out of my comfort zone. Many times we pray for God to use us, but when a chance presents itself, we sometimes pretend we don't hear and walk away.
I believe that many of us are not taking out opportunities to serve God. The fact that we're in Singapore is already a reason. Opportunities everywhere. Just that many don't go out and grab them. We always conveniently use our mouths to say how much we want to serve our God. At times, we have to go out and find means to do just that. Shouldn't sit around. Opportunities out there, just not laid on your doorstep. God wants to see us put in effort to go out there, find something to do for Him and work willingly if what we say is true, about how we want to serve Him.
And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
Luke 5:1-4
The boat in the verse refers to is us. Just imagine us as a little boat, floating comfortably by the beach. We hardly want to trouble ourselves. We're just happy staying in our comfort zone. Until one day, Jesus comes along into our lives. He pushed us out "a little" from our comfort zone so He could use us to stand at a height, such that He could minister to the masses better.
And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
Luke 5:10
Yes. We need to go far out from our comfort zone. A little to help Jesus tell people about Christ. Lauch out into the deep, we shall catch men. Far out of our comfort zone, we shall catch men.
