Today's YAF is by the Equip team! Yay! Like first in this year, and my virgin presentation about Equip. Although the lessons are quite brief with known information with a twist, I believe it will get better with time passes by.
I have been troubled for a long long time if I should reach out to my family. I yearn for big results, due to my impatient nature, and often slapped with unhappy relationships (especially with my dad who recently asked questions with the intent to attack my spirituality. With the grace of God, I managed to answer his question with gentleness and respect, and did not feel that it was necessary to compare the two understandings). Also, my family are quick to forgive with whatever disrespect I have given them and mum was curious to know what I have been believing.
As I was approached with this topic quite long ago, I was given a simple task to be a blessing. Not that I resent to be a blessing, more like I fear I may not do well. The 'what-ifs' twirled around my mind like a tornado, disallowing any positive response to God's calling. This lasted for days. After putting it aside for two days, this question came again when I had just recovered from flu. With a refreshed mind, I had decided to put God's teaching and prayed for courage to accept the challenge, wisdom and knowledge to be a blessing with gentleness and respect. Afterall, it has something to do with my profession. If I do well, I can have an opportunity to declare that wisdom doesn't come from me but from my Almighty God.
I pray that this will be a stepping stone to sharing God's love, faith, mercy and joy to them.
