A 3 Way Talk About Our Walk

Just had a 3 way convo with my 2 girls from cell.. Mel and Grace! We had an interesting time sharing our QT and commenting on stuff and praying for each other.. We’ll do this once a week, right girls?

Mel shared on Luke 19:11-27, about the parable of the ten minas (1 mina was about 3 months wages at that time). The king gave his 3 servants 10 minas each.. and as the parables goes, 2 of them invested and gained more from it while the other did nothing with it. To the 2 who made profit, he gave them more to take charge of; the other, he condemed.

we had different takes on it.

Mel sees it as God reminding her that he’s coming soon. If he gave her 10 non-christian friends, how has she reached out to them with God’s love, and even share with them about God. Has she reaped any profit for God’s Kingdom or did nothing with what God has placed in her life.

Grace sees it as talent.. how we have fully used the gifts and talents God has given us. Has she shelved them.. or used them? Not for self glory, but for His glory..

I see it as responsibilities.. Am i able to prove myself capable of handling the resposibilites that i have now? not shy away from it.. but work hard on it.. Like can i care for my cell members? Can i follow up on new believers.. God will give me more responsibilities if he thinks i can handle more.. =)

Grace shared about PDL Chapt 18.. On Fellowship.. God was speaking to her about Forgiveness.. Its interesting how hurtful comments from strangers doesn’t matter to us.. but the wound inflicted by a person close to our heart leaves us bleeding.. I know sometimes the people close to Grace hurt her with words.. but forgiveness should be immedaite.. its the hardest thing to do.. but it IS an immediate freedom from the hurt.. =)

From this chapt i was reminded about other points, like being open in a fellowship.. don’t put on a mask.. be honest.. be real.. to remember that in the midst of mature christians, there is love and acceptance, encouragement and support.. which brings me to another realisation.. Am i sometimes too quick to judge others (even friends) based on the situation they are in.. or based on a wrong step they took? *ponders* How immature i can be at times..

I shared with them about Ruth.. She has such an interesting love story.. but my sharing wasn’t about how she found a husband.. but about her commitment to Naomi and God. She was given a choice to leave.. but instead, she made a wise decision to stay with Naomi. How many wise decisions have i made? Or do i make rash ones? I decided to commit my saturdays and sundays to God… will i choose to stick to this commitment? Or drop it like a hot potato when things are not easy going.. or when i’m too busy..

wow.. i’ve learnt so much from them.. so many things to think about.. its also really uplifting to be able to pray for one another.. and for other things that we could think of..

Thanks girls..

And Thank you Lord for you presence and word..
