being a testimony

as i sat listening to uncle shar*f's testimony last night, i marvel at how wonderful our God is. truly, God is gracious and a God of love...and His love is not exclusive. He loves everyone, no matter who we are or where we come from. uncle shar*f comes from a muslim country and family, which makes it difficult for one to place his/her faith in Jesus. i thank God for bringing him back to singapore again to have fellowship with us. it isn't easy for him to come to singapore becos of where he's from. but the God i serve is able :) i was very encouraged to see how he's growing as a Christian...when jonathan asked him how we could reach out to the muslim community, i was glad tt he didn't give us a step-by-step method...i thank God for his wonderful response - by being a testimony :)

God's timing is perfect. it's amazing how He speaks to me. over dinner with josiah, we were talking abt how being a testimony can be so impt (becos tt's what he learnt during his quiet time). he shared a story he read and unattentive me somehow didn't hear him say it was from "our daily bread".

today, i used "our daily bread" (it's not wat i usually do, but hey, i still didn't realise "josiah's" story was in there until i read the commentary) and the topic was abt how we should make learning God's word and doing it our most impt focus...and after i was done, i read my devotional book for teachers and guess what? it was about how we as teachers should show children what a Christian is through our behaviour, conversations, choices, and decisions...because a child will follow in the footsteps of those he/she admires the most! and i pray tt by God's grace, my footsteps will be worth following :)
