My body, His Body / Of Friendship and Fellowship
Am sick at home, but somehow am awfully happy about it :) Really appreciate the rest.. to just open my eyes and see the clock at 10am...i could just praise God to be in bed :) In any case, am up to 80% (thank You Dad..) and will be back to work tom.
Just want to write and express on the things that make my life so abundant and rich... yesterday I was sitting at my pc and doing some programming and thinking... its sure not the programming that gets me excited (i guess there *is* some beauty in the elegance of a well designed piece of software - but heck how can anyone be tt excited over that) but its the relationships and the people around me.
Especially those in the body of Christ... It never ceases to amaze me how God truly has 'arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be' (1 Cor 12:18). Its exactly the case among my church elders, it was the case in the campus crusade leadership, im starting to see its the case in the workplace fellowship.. and all the way from Shanghai a dear bro wrote to marvel at the very same thing taking place in his fellowship group.
It is so good to just have good friends, both brothers n sisters, different ages n backgrounds, different yet fearfully and wonderfully made... all in it together. All in the same boat - or as pastor Wolfi says, 'fellows in the same ship' :)
I must say one of the best things of being a believer is that 'the longer you walk with God, the more things and people you get to look forward to when you get to heaven' :)
It would be just wonderful to have all the time in the world (nay, more than tt) to fellowship and worship.
Till then... hmm.. I also often feel the desire often to just take my place in the body. Esp as a worshipper and a shepherd... one who cares for others n connects.. listens... n speaks life... and who just goes crazy at the faintest hint of God in the area.
Perhaps it will be fulfilled in time to come... things do seem to be moving in that direction. But in any case, titles n what have yous aside, it'll always be a joy to let go and be crazy for Jesus... :)
Ookk... back to the present. As this day winds wodn... thank You, Dad, for friends, family, fellowship. Thank You for Yourself. Thank You that you'll always give enough grace... for today :)
