Lessons Learnt

Last Friday, I shared a testimony of how the Lord rescued me and opened an alternative door for me when I did not do well in a particular module in NUS the last semester.

This testimony was long overdue. Supposed to share it before I graduated last May in 2009. However, I only decided to share it today because I thought we were having a University CG meeting, so sharing something related to studies and uni would be great. At first I was hesitant, because it did not sound glamorous at all.

However, after sharing the testimony, I felt that the people really thanked God and praised Him. Because the testimony really showed how GREAT and GOOD God is, and I really have NOTHING to boast about myself.

Thereafter, I heard Him telling me in a still small voice, that, truly it is not the big things that would wow people. It is the things that are deemed insignificant in people's eyes, that would bring glory to His name. This reminds me of a bible verse that God would often use the simple to shame the wise, in 1 Corinthians 1: 27-29:

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. [28] He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things — and the things that are not — to nullify the things that are, [29] so that no one may boast before him.

Hence, next time whenever I share a testimony, I pray that it will be always about how AWESOME Jesus is, and it is because of his GREATNESS, GOODNESS, MERCY and GRACE that I can share a testimony. It is NOT about how great I am, or what I have done to deserve something. Thank you JESUS. I do not want to have anything that I can boast of myself. Bring me to a place where I can acknowledge ALL your GOODNESS and GREATNESS, MERCY & GRACE in my life, that without YOU, I will be nothing. THANK U LORD.
