You know i realize recently this year that our unity doesn't seem as strong as before. and i think the simple fact we are no longer united is because we try too hard.
Its because we dun have a goal.
Unity only comes when we have the same goal.
No offence but me and joshuah really feel more unity in the mission team than compared with you guys.
Take note that the mission team age gap diff was rather big. and that we only had 5 to 6 days to bond.
I myself was wondering how in the world did we get so close.
I realized its because we had the same goal of bringing hope to the people over there in kalimantan.
I'm not sure if many of you heard SP's message recently regarding the devil's works in LSBC.
The work to bring and add oil to the conflict that people have experienced in the last 10 years since we moved in.
When one falls.. all will fall. its because its a group.
For e.g if the elders fall what do u think will happen to the people? i think most of them will fall too because its a church.
k lah i give an example of conflict ok? i'm not gonna be embarrassed to say it because i think when the people dun stand up for what is right the others suffer. take note i come as a friend :)
i think a really good e.g would be the tension between me and sarah for e.g i'm pretty sure many of you noticed that our unity level has changed.
Like i said.. its because we are in a group. its easy for the devil to break unity. all he need to do is keep a conflict between just two ppl. and viola unity level drops.
Another example would be in church camp? where the girls and boys majorly like.. u know haha...
The truth is unity can be obtained in just days.. hours... minutes. what we need is the same goal that we work towards as SFH.
when we started out sfh i remember how all of us keep on saying " wah i feel God is going to use SFH so greatly. " and blah blah...
Yes its true i think alot of us feel it.. but what we need is unity in order for us to be used greatly not just as one but 17 people coming together becoming one.
Sometimes in order to have unity what we need to do is simply have a goal and forgive.
And to forgive would be the real test of unity and ur commitment. It takes humility defintely... and also the a bold step of coming out of ur comfort zone to tell that person that i forgive you. and of coz do it in actions as well.
Holy spirit night was funny because every other day when we say to guys i love you its known as gay.
But is it really? there's a time for hugging and words of love.
So when samuel... clement... josh all said to each other i love you its kinda weird but you know what? whats so wrong abt that? the world knows the girls do it. are they not the creation of God? and are we not the creation of God as well?
I hope when i leave SFH the unity among u all will grow tremendously beginning from now :)
Reuben and joshuah...
