Sweet

Last week, after my small group sermon debrief,
My guys asked me, 'Angus are we going to have cell on friday
just like the past 2 fridays?'

I hesitated and replied, "I'll see if my schedule fits for this friday.'

I ever told myself that I'll block my fridays free for my 'G-12' meetings
but for this friday, i needed the time to rehearse for a gig
for my friend's 21st birthday which i agreed to help long before.

Friday night and saturday morning were the only days that the
band could meet up to work the songs through.
Putting the rehearsal on saturday morning seemed too rush
Hence, the hesitation of the friday 'golden' slot.

I seeked the Lord's face and he revealed to me the happy moments
we shared the past 2 weeks, learning his words and sharing our journeys.
All of us were smiling and enjoying each other's company.

At that point, i decided, heck the rehearsal.
Because to me,nothing was more worth it than building into your lives and also you guys building into mine.
I'm speaking to you, Nicholas, Wei Peng, Jeremiah and Ernest.
Nothing was more precious than sharing my friday evenings with you guys,
learning and sharing with one another in the most sincere and true way.

My fellow G-12 brothers, the time with your sons would be the history of
tomorrow. What kind of history would you want to leave with them?

We had a wonderful time of planning for the good friday event
and it totally rocks to see the body working together, contributing
in any way possible be it big or small.

We studied the word of God in Matt22:37 on the greatest commandment.
'Love the LORD your GOD, with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind.'

Is GOD truly the ONLY LOVE of your heart?
That means that you are willing to lay down ALL things aside just for him.
It even goes down to your THOUGHTS. Is your mind occupied with the
agenda of God or the agenda of your own?

We could only respond by saying 'GOD we have failed and we need
to lay down all things aside once again, because in our ways, our actions and our speech, it just go to show that we don't love you enough. We chose to entertain our selfish pleasure, choose to put you aside during my exams, choose to put you aside during my busyness'

Personally for me, i just felt the gentle presence of the LORD
sweeping through the void deck corner of Bras Basah.
I pray that you'll experience and encounter the gentleness of GOD too.
Hoo- Ahhh..
