The Harvest!
It's 1.55am and all the same, I praise God! I'm a little figure walking on this earth who finds it very hard to share the gospel with my friends, especially university friends. Actually when I started school, I was really praying to God that I'd find a nice comfy Christian clique to support each other throughout tertiary life. But, nope that didn't happen. I spent most of my time in school with a non-christian clique complete with their own world views.
Sigh, no Christian support from close buddies in my course.
But, now, at 1.58am, I praise God because I see why I'm there with this group of friends! He has placed me to help Him with sowing the seeds. If you think I'd have no prob sharing the gospel, that's a complete no-no. My 'girl gang' in school is all too familiar with my shortcomings, impatience, last minute work and wadever nots. And they know that I'm a Christian. Oh yes, not the most shining testimony... (haha)
An hour ago, this friend from my 'girl gang' started to ask me (on MSN) about some homework stuff and the conversation took a change when she talked about how sore she felt when our academic results don't reflect the effort. She shared that she had no idea how to get thru the module and get A grades. In my reply, I just honestly told her I didnt know how to get As either and I could only do my best....
friend: I wish I can have your attitude...
JT: *pat pat* actually I used to be v gan jiong one... but I know God is in control mah. So enjoy studying and do your best loh.
friend: how to enjoy studying. It's depressing
JT: yah lah...sometimes itz not fair...u do all you can already n sometmes don't do well... Working for grades is not very gd motivation for me haha...
so, I just honestly shared what I thought... the converstion led on and we talked about being fair and who decides what's fair. We talked about the ever-changing values and what values we should cling on to. We talked about family and our religion and money... like how money dictates the value of a profession or the value or some thing. I also found out that she was somewhat interested in Christianity but is embarrassed to have it as a religion because of family... and she thinks itz not time to think about it now... and she doesn't want to have the commitment... Throughout the whole time, I didnt talk about creation and all those step-by-step share the gospel stuff. We just talked and I told her that Christianity is not about having people who are capable of being devoted to God. It's about our relationship with God and it's precisely because we are messed up and cmi that we need God.
I guess when we share the gospel with out friends, it's about praying for them, being honest with them and sharing our lives with them. I'm not a perfect person or a perfect testimony. But God still uses me and I praise Him that He should give me such privilege!
So don't be afraid, keep praying and may God work through us to sow and prepare the harvest!
