title: Christmas Service - Church of Singapore (Bukit Timah) As a youth attending English Youth Group all these while, stepping into a Chinese congregation was an extremely different experience. However, I felt that God had made use of this opportunity wonderfully.
This was my first Chinese congregation service. I had attended the service as one of my friends invited me. I had prepared my heart for a fast song to start the entire service as I didn't have the experience of stepping into a Chinese congregation. The service started off with a slow song, very slow. It was even slower than the usual English slow songs. I guess this was an opportunity to calm my heart down, from all the happenings around me. Though my mum and god-brother sat beside me, as the pre-service songs began, they were calming my heart down slowly. My heart and mind then, wasn't on the surroundings that I was in, wasn't on what those beside me were doing, neither was it on my god-sister, who is about to perform and who had been away for more than 5 days but amazingly, the songs spoke to me in a language that I was very familiar with and gently turned my heart and mind unto Him and Him alone. Although I had various minor conversations along the way, my response was minimal. My heart and mind directed my attention to God this morning through the songs that were played. During the time of worship, I was led to different prayers for myself and the upcoming camp. Prayers that calms my heart down (preparing my heart for the service, the rest of the day and the upcoming camp), prayers of forgiveness (of my sins and not being able to submit my troubles unto Him) , prayers of thanksgiving (that He has indeed brought me through thus far) , prayers of surrender (to surrender my life and allow Him to break in to my life once again), prayers of acceptance (of obstacles and things that come in my way and treat them as challenges to mold me). The sermon this morning, gave me the assurance from Him that God is the way, the truth and the life. He used a language closest to me, most familiar to me, to minister and assure me. Through the songs that were song, through the prayers that I've made, He prepared me. He taught me the value of thanksgiving and assure me with His word that this was the lesson that I was to learn through the 2 months of struggle that I had. That I should look away from the problem and focus my eyes on Him, that I shouldn't complicate the problems that I'm having but surrender all my thoughts, concerns and worries unto Him for He knows and understands them all. He is the perfect one, who is willing to walk with me and carry me and journey it through with me. This, is an experience that I doubt I would ever forget. He showed me His grace and how he could work in my life. =D Labels: Christmas Service at Church of Singapore (Bukit Timah) |
