Pastor Daniel shared today in service.

Taking examples of 2 woman from the bible. Mary and Esther.

In Luke 1:26-38

Gabriel appears to Mary and to tell Mary that she is appointed to be the bearer of God's Son. Mary was not given time to think or make up her mind. Almost immediate, (V38) Mary said:"Let it be to me accordingly to your word"

In Esther 4:1-17

Esther's uncle approached Esther to change the King's decision to kill the Jews. Esther had her worries. No one were allowed to see the King unless invited, whoever who goes uninvited, needs to be killed. But Esther soon realise that she was made queen for a purpose. She wasnt there to look pretty and have the title as the Queen.

Pastor Daniel went on to share about how God look at us, billions of us human population and see the special gift in each and everyone of us. In the bible, God took a risk in 'picking' Mary to be the one who is the bearer of God's son. If Mary had refused, wont things be different. Because God could see the difference in Mary and he knew that his risk isnt that high(Talking about probability)

We all know we are here with different purpose, different gift, different personality, different interest etc. No 2 person are exactly the same. We all have a purpose that God put us here for a reason. Yes you may not know it now, but when the time comes, you will know it is your purpose in life for. We exist for a purpose and thus we are challenged, are you ready to make a decision that some things, we risk having to die for?

For me? I shall be very honest. I am still walking and learning to find my purpose. I have always been a 'jack of all trade, master of none'. My walk with God has always been challenged and because i dont listen, i chose to make my own decision and walk away.

I have been living my life in self doubt, struggling with esteem issues, wishing i would just die and never have to wake up. Who doesnt? I always think, it is about looks, if i lose weight, i would be happier. if i have a boyfriend, i would be happier. Who needs God?!

Oh my, i am terribly wrong. Humans, fail you, but not God. I have a few testimonial to share. Really. They may not be as life impacting but to me, it really showed me God really loved me.

Let's start with the day i decided to go back to church. Since the day i left LOC, i always thought i could just go to another church or just dont go to church. But, somehow, i searched, walked, got lost and still came back to LOC. Of course i have my struggles, on how others would view me, how i would be part of the family. It wasnt easy. Thanks to Stella, i learnt that being a Christian was never the easy way out. Things got better, and like i shared how the camp helped me so much, a stumbling block came. To be honest, this stumbling block, if it were to happen weeks earlier, i know, i would have took the easy way out and stop going to church as well. But, God's plan is something so amazing that every small tiny detail, has it purpose. Like why i had to go for a surgery, resulting i was on leave and had the time to go church camp and how i became stronger in my walk with God.

I am exceptionally touched that people are really concerned about me, checking if i am ok. I wanna assure you all, i am taking baby steps and i am sure, taking the step out of my comfort zone is worth it all these while.

I am thankful to all sisters and brothers, colleagues who all kept me in prayer since the day i had to go for surgery, when i had horrible pains and aches and symptoms that hints terrible illnesses. With God's power, i am better. Really. Relieved as there is nothing wrong with me now. Through this incident, i have learn that health is very important and now, i am exercising and watching my diet not because i wanna lose weight and find a bf but rather, stay healthy so that i can continue to serve in the kingdom of God with my so tiny contribution.

I wanna thank God, for i have been praying for this issue i had with friendship. I always thought i was right, but God used his method to put new people in my life to show me that all along i am going the wrong direction. I wanna thank him for giving me strength to walk away from that friendship full of hurt, misery, insults and bring me to new friendships that open up love and grace.

And WOW! you are still reading??! Alright, i shall stop you from the misery, take some time off, to watch the videos by Nick Vujicic and i hope he inspires you like how he did for me.

Be blessed in abundance =DDD
