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!
