A nice sharing

It is great to gather with the Christians once again in this Friday afternoon. I thank God that Dr. Living Lee came today for sharing some precious things with us. He is also an Alumni of PKV and formal advisor of PKV today. It is really great to have him as a special speaker. The first ever thing that he said in his sharing, he said:” Christianity is not about rules and regulations. Instead of that, it is all about relationship with God.” The greatest commandment that Jesus told us in the Bible is that “’you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”

He told us a lot of things. There were too many until I didn’t manage to remember every single thing he shared. However, there were some really impressive things he did share with us. He was talking about one of the commandments in the Bible regarding the order to keep the Sabbath day. He does keep the commandment in his daily life; he doesn’t work during the day, but spends his Sunday for relaxation or some relaxing activities. He didn’t tell us how he suffered for making his Sunday a relaxing day. Instead, he told us that he found the rest of the days very exciting. He fully uses the rest of the time for the six days for his work. He found that really a blessing commandment for us to obey. I am still wondering whether I can do as best as he manages to. But I do really want to give it a shot and see how God is going to bless me if I do so. Anyway, I got really excited by that particular sharing and motivated to obey the commandment.

Besides that, he told us to put God the priority. If we do prioritize him the first ever in our priority, he promises that he will bless us and other things he will add to us through blessing. I wonder how many people could manage to accept and believe that. Apparently, that is not really down-to-earth practice. But as far as I’m concerned, I believe that is really true. It is about stewardship that brings impacts to people unwittingly without looking for benefits and rewards deliberately.  Anyway, I am aware that I am not good enough. May God bless me by using me and helping me to be a good servant!
