#9 I've Been Craving
For God to open my eyes everyday. Every opportunity can be an opportunity the eyes of our hearts are opened. You know, people always say they get impacted when they go for overseas missions trips; the people are nice and the atmosphere is awesome. Here's a revelation:
Attitude made all the difference.
I don't see why we can't have explosive breakthroughs and growth within our local ministry. The main reason I see why people gain a lot overseas is because they expected it. There was a lot of hype and excitement generated and they expect to see God do something.
As a result, God can and does do something.
More often than not though, we take for granted the brothers and sisters around us. We forget that every experience, every encounter is a chance to learn. Then when someone does something that seems "no-link" or "extra", we see the action and criticise.
Rarely do we see the attitude behind it; wanting to do something different and out of the comfort zone.
And you wonder why God isn't doing something mighty in our lands, but others.
That's why, I'm prepared to give up certain things to ensure that chances are created, eyes are opened.
But there's a catch. I need to do it with God.
Isaiah 64:6 All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
Luke 1:35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.

Today marks the beginning of life for 4 brothers and 2 sisters in RP. Its a brand new sheet of paper for a brand new person.

Oh yeah and Death Note's pretty cool. ;)
