From the book of Romans, I got to learn another aspect of the book that I haven't understood it before. Thanks to Mark Nakatsukasa for his wonderful sharing just in the right time that I need to hear the most. Since I'm a human, I'm so limited of being patient and I don't have much mercy for others. I can't see how God's plan can be fit for a person who has done wrong, but look at me I'm also a sinner who has done a mess thing that I shouldn't receive the forgiveness. However, I came to the point of letting God choose and do thing on his own way because he has the best thing in mind for people that I'm neglected. He knows the beginning and the end, so it's not my business to judge others, but I need to sit back and see God's mercy for each person.
So here what I've drawn out from the Book of Romans right now, and thanks to God for his truth has set me free from judging my dad and not being patient with him.
Dear God, I pray for salvation to each member of my family. We all are desperate and need your mercy like rain. At first we didn't recognize you as God, we lived in sinful nature and even in the spiral downward to the base mind. I'm thankful that you never gave up on us completely, and I'm so thankful that you turn a very bad thing into a good thing for our sake. God, help me to remember and believe in your promise and totally trust you with all my heart that you care so much for me, for each person in this world. Please help me to be able to give thanks in all situation. May you be glorify through my life. May this true remind me of your grace and your perfect plan for all mankind. Thank you God!!
Love,
Gade
During these intense 6 months of co-leading a YWAM training school, I have been learning and exploring tons of thing about who God is and about myself which I have to lay down myself in many ways. My intimate relationship with God has been developing since I took the FOCOS (Coaching Course with CMI), for I started to focus more on my quality time with God and learning to listen to him. In past 3 months, although there are so much works going on, I still learn to be still and know that God is God where I can't control any thing at all. Through this school, I wish I could be more prepared, the building would be perfect to run the school, all staffs would be ready to serve the school, and the students would learn and grow incredibly, but those are false expectations because God's plan and how he works in a whole group and individual are totally what we are experiencing now. There are tons of small thing occurs to make us discouraged, but I do learn to let thing go and depend on Go...
