In His Time.
Being a youth pastor,
I get to experience the joy of sharing on special occasions like:
(Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Christmas etc).
Therefore yesterday (19th Apr), I was invited to share on Good Friday.
As I stepped into the hall @ CBCLC Puchong Secondary,
My heart was beating fast because there were so many students.
About 75% and above are pre-believers,
And I had to convince them that they need Jesus.
The thing though, is that I am haunted by my past.
Out of the few alter calls that I have made,
Having people raising their hands is a rare commodity.
But I was hopeful and confident that God is in control.
And I shared what God has guided me to share.
During the alter call, I told the students:
"You may think you are here because you choose to be here,
You may think you are here because you were forced to come.
But I believe that you are here because God brought you here.
You are here, because God wants you to be here,
For such a time as this.
Today, may just be another day for another person.
Today, may just be another day for someone else.
But today, may also be the day that you receive Jesus into your heart,
For the very first time in your life.
Today, could be the day that you begin living your life with God.
Would you just raise your hands with me?"
And before my very own eyes, I witness a miracle.
15 students gave their lives to Jesus,
as they walk from earth into eternity.
15 souls have been added to heaven.
15 souls, that God cared for so much, have finally responded.
And I was so touched by the entire experience, even as I write this.
I am reminded through this experience,
That those who have sown the seeds into their hearts,
way before yesterday's event were the unsung heroes.
And I can only thank God that yesterday was His timing for the 15 students.
And I get the greatest privilege to witness it,
Before my very own eyes.
God has His timing,
And His timing is always the right timing.
We truly reap at a different time than we sow,
And all we have to do is just obey Him,
And leave the rest to His hands.
I can learn to lean on Him.
I can learn to trust Him.
Because He is still in control.
"Here in the waiting,
I won't worry about tomorrow.
No need to focus,
On the things I can't control."

But yesterday, was also the day that I see 15 souls gave their life to Jesus,
Before my very own eyes,
For the very first time, in my life :)
