Helplessly Excited

Tomorrow is Youth Sunday, the 3rd time we are celebrating it as a church since 2002. Every celebration marks a milestone of growth and journey, breakthroughs and a season of change toward the better. I can't help but notice how far we have come by God's grace and His guiding light, how much we have been valued and esteemed in His sight. Surely He is faithful and good. It's been backbreaking kind of tiring feeling, yet there's gratefulness and thanksgiving and I wouldn't have it any other way, for I delight to see how lives have changed, hearts are stirred and mindsets are broadened as God deals with us, works in us and leads us to yet another high ground of experience of His love. I can't help taking a back seat and watch people rise up and mark themselves for God, releasing their gifts and talents as sweet offering to the Lord. I find that this is a reward to me, the privilege of seeing fruits ripen and potential unfold, a taste of victory and joy that the toil and sweat had begun to pay off. Nothing beats the increase that comes from God's hand. Nothing comes better than the timeliness of God's appointment. As I study every one who faithfully place their hands to serve, I can't help but be humbled reminiscing each stiring of the Lord at every opportune moment to pry open potentials and giftings - only He knows where the pearl lies, and everytime He is spot on accurate. He truly is an ever amazing God. He has believed in us even before we were formed, seeing our destinies as real even before we realise them. His devotion toward us is unquestionable. It creates excitement is me when I think that Our God is our number 1 fan! Psalm 8:4 - what is man that You are mindful of Him and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than angels and You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet... o Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth!
