pray like never before, care like never before

The past 3 days, 29th-31st march, was at Camp Christine with the sec ones for their orientation camp.
My, God turned my world around into this out-of-the-world experience for me, I was blessed with His love throughout, had the most time to read His Word and pray and the most tie to spend with my students kayaking , orienteering the place in Lim Chu Kang, that’s really double portion for me.
Learnt many new things in this camp, and the bond between me and the colleagues, and the students grew ever stronger. My tears were welling up when I see my students Chill dancing at the campfire, when I thought I am going to miss the performance as I had to leave early for cg on Fri, God made their performance the first item of the night. It was truly a retreat for me ..
God taught me to remove the speck in my eyes, to see the emptiness in the eyes of my students. They need God. And He is using me to be a tool for His hands. Yes, as I hold the trophy of His salvation, I will be a fisher of men for Him right from today. No longer belonging to the crooked generation but bloodwashed by the Lamb. There are so many thoughts contained in my mind, and can only be summed up by His free and undeserved love. God, I want to worship in your sanctuary forever. My best friend, with you, I will never feel loneliness ever again. Teach me your ways my Savior. Accept my thanksgiving to you today. There is really no one else like you. When I search the Scriptures to know you better, I am going to find you.
Lead me into you again as I march towards the next two weeks of greater things to do for you. Yes, I really have many on my shoulders right down weighing, but my comfort comes from Jesus on the Cross who carried the weight of the sins of ALL mankind. My Jesus is one who cares and who would even sit with the rotten and the uncouth like the once Simon Peter, I want to be like Him. In this loveboat I sit with Jesus, I want to turn it to be a fishing boat for Him who will launch deep into the sea, just like how He told Simon Peter to let down his nets. One day, the whole world will worship Him, (rev 7:9), away from the background of persecution and martyrdom, we will be before Him, joining the angels, falling flat before His throne to worship Him in our white, pure and holy robes. God has a destiny for all of us, to be righteous in focus, and the destiny for the wicked is only evil and eternal condemnation.

I love YOU God.. ever in you who has created the world for Him. Yes, we will be a guide for the blinded, the beacon light for those who are lost in darkness.
