Readiness
The past 1 week or so, I have been sporadically pondering on this topic; getting myself ready for what God is going to do/is doing in my life. Many a times, we get so busy with our daily work routine, home affairs and personal ad-hocs that we totally miss out on what God is trying to do/say in our lives isn't it?.
Being a typical working young adult, my weekdays revolves around mainly work; for 8-9 hours per day and family time at night. By the time I get home, I would be usually tired and exhausted to do anything else. As such, my night hours are usually UN-PRODUCTIVE. On 2 weeknights, I would attend ministry practice or bible study and cell group meetings. Those are brief reprieve moments where I can catch up with friends and more importantly, meet God and get refreshed. My point is that can't we structure our life the other way around? Instead of allowing tiredness and fatigue determine what we have to do, can't we pre-set in our minds that we want to be an overcomer of fatigue, tiredness, heat and perspiration to continue to maintain our productivity levels?
And of course, the answer is a resounding YES!
Now. The bottomline is that we have to be ready at all times and right now, I am too going through of a season of getting ready and being constantly broken by God emotionally, physically, spiritually. And I am determined in my heart, mind and soul to keep on keeping on. Yes, I will go through times where I will be out alone but this will only train me to appreciate my next and last relationship even more when it eventually comes isn't it?. Everytime when I come before God, I want to be able to say "God, you can use me". Not just by faith, but because I am equipped to be used by Him.
Just amazes me how a person's mentality can change after constant breaking by God. I am convicted of the fact that the more broken we are, the more sensitive we can be to the leading of the Holy Spirit and ultimately we can become a more fruitful person in Christ.
Being at 25 yrs old, I am in another transition stage of my life. Not really a youth anymore but not really an adult yet. Thats y I am in the preparation stage for all aspects of my life. Learning how to manage my emotions, finances, talents, time and health are all important skills that I have to acquire. And acquire it fast!
Really want to thank God for everything that He has done in my life because even when I am at the lowest darkest pit of sin, He still chooses to use me and say that I am the apple of His eye with zero condemnation. As I continue to grow and shut the door on the face of sin every single day of my life, I hope to become a more effective Christian in the marketplace and at home.
I didn't had the perfect start to my life here on Earth.
I didn't had a perfect expressive loving family to start off with.
I struggled with low self esteem and weight problems as a youth.
But yet, if God can use me, He can use you too.
I hope that you too will be ready when God asks you to rise up and take a new challenge in your life.
God bless!
me
