We LOVE God.

Today, I want to take time to appreciate this certain person whom's life I am greatly encouraged by. Let's start by the very first impression I had of this person. Crafted nearly four years ago when he first came church, a sharp tongue and inconsiderate manner of speaking is his murder weapon in relationships. Sadly after several defeats, and some other unspoken reasons, this particular person decided to take "MedicalCertificate" from the Kingdom of God.

However, The "MedicalCertificate" slowly became invalid not more than six months ago, by God's everlasting pursuant in his life. I met this person at the 3rd floor of Woodlands library once again and spoke a handful of words before separating our ways. I could also then recall him making a ridiculous request which I felt so obliged to consent as a stranger; it was to lend my EZ-link card to borrow a Chinese novel for him. Yet I never knew that decision was the very key to open his door of salvation.

To scissor the story short, he came back and rededicated his life for God. It was then imperative for me to question, whether this person was serious in his decision. I could still vividly remember weeks after that; the moment that I had him sat down together with Yiyong and Ellina on the escalator to make agreements of him being insensitive in speech and bring up the importance and values of apologizing. It was hell of a time for him I supposed, not the most comfortable kind of thing one had to go through as a young believer back then. Yet, it was also evident that he took back the rectification and work on it silently.

Through many period of struggles, one would never be able to comprehend how God can change a person's life, inside out. And this analogy was flawlessly supported by his life. Literally! Slowly, we were able to see that he began making evident efforts to change and grew under the leadership of God, consistently struggle to break free from his comfort zone and took up the burden of reaching out to his local school: Christ Church Secondary. He even went forward to confront the pioneering leader once! why he was discluded from the privilege of sharing the burden of reaching out to Christ Church Secondary.

Soon, we also see that he began taking ownership in living a lifestyle of evangelism starting by the closest person he could reach his hands to. Being someone seemingly introvert and a thinker by nature, one would be certain it is definitely not in his dictionary of instincts to replace a melted chocolate and pass a card to his contact, but he simply did it. His perspective towards responsibility given was there and then witness, proved and tested. He was, but faithful.

At this moment, as my fingers rant over the keyboard: I suppose He is most probably in the theater enjoying the show "Despicable Me" where yellow ching chong bananas runs around and instill brainless humor. However, something is indeed different this time round, because as compared to many of gatherings before where he only received invitations, today he sent invitations. He was the sole organizer today's outing and was also the first one to be present in the place of meeting. Talk about being punctual, wow.

This person is none other than SHEN DA.

Such initiative is one essential catalyst to bring the community together. Hey friend, you might not know, but what you have done hours ago just by simply inviting people to watch the movie; you have unintentionally, outrageously defied the bullshit mentality of " The door of influence is only accessible through leadership positions" That is a radical nonsense.

Anyone can influence as long as he understands the value of ownership, and because you understood, you took it. Ops! Apologies, I meant you grabbed it! You have grown so much since then, and I am so proud of you. I cannot wait to see you becoming a shepherd soon, and witnessing you to struggle victoriously for the audience of one.

I hope this short story becomes a source of inspiration for everyone out there, by the fact that there is no one insignificant in the kingdom of God. Never. He is here where he is today, because someone first believed in him, and the person is none other that our: LIAU JIANHAO.

Lastly, a word of encouragement to share; Guard such attitude defensively with your life! Because such is the kind the next generation of needs to have. Amen.
