God. Community. Streets.
The knockout match between Germany and England ended with a 4-1. I was simply distracted by that 22 players and a ball on the field. Hardwork and effort was put in right from the start of practices till now. And in just 90min, all was gone. What could be done? They just gotta pick themselves up.
Sometimes, we put in effort and see no results. Do we just give up? No. We don't just give in to circumstances and let them limit what we can do. We pick ourselves up.
Many times, we put a lid over our lives. We allow the situation to control us. We limit ourselves by our age, talents, ability, mindset, failures, struggles and what others say about us. God wants to use us to do great things for Him. He does not want us to put a lid over our lives.
I was just pondering about some petty struggles in my life. God wants to use me much more than i can imagine. Look beyond self, and look at the needs of others.
I withdrew from MIP at the very last minute when they were calling for last sign-ups and confirms, due to integrated assignments and school. Although nobody knows, but deep inside, i wasn't feeling very good. I just missed a great opportunity to see what God wants to use me in the mission field. I really wanted to go. However, God reminded me that it isn't anything about going out there and being a blessing to the poor and broken. God wants me to start missions at where he placed me first. At home, in school, the community and the streets. If i can't even start where he placed me, there's no need to go out there. I believe God knows and challenge me, that if i am able to handle the little things that He placed in my life, He will give me bigger things to conquer.
Take my life, Lord.
