Few questions were asked during Sub-d meet and the question that struck me was: Do we readily share about our spiritual lives and experiences to one another?

Personally it got me thinking if I’m only relationally close to people but not spiritually. I think I lack the readiness to share about my spiritual life and experiences to people whom I talk to and interact with. It’s like I can hang out with you, fellowship with you, rah-rah with you but at the end of the day, was the time spent together fruitful? We can be close but in terms of spirituality? So, speaking of wanting to know each and everyone of you better, to encourage and edify one another, I hope to work on this aspect of my life. I hope to share more of my spiritual life and experiences to those around me and likewise hear theirs as well.

Lets all not only be relationally close to one another but lets also work on sharing deeper with one another ya?? I was greatly reminded by the cg visions that we all shared during our 1st cg and most of the time connecting, wanting to be more bonded and getting to know one another's life was being shared to the grp...for it also takes individual responsibility and effort to achieve this. Just imagine if everyone of us takes this individual responsibility, hopefully and prayerfully our cg visions that we set for ourselves will come to pass. =)

Then to prayer meet on Friday. As I had consecutive full day classes last week, I was physically drained out which amounts to many things. Thus, I came to prayer meet with a heart of wanting God to refresh me and I even asked for renewal in spirit. Indeed, prayer meet was great and I was spiritually refreshed by God.

Also, God spoke specifically to me about something that has been weighing in my heart for quite some time. I experienced disappointments in people around me and I told God that I wanted to overcome this because this has been affecting my spiritual life which is no good. I need to move on but I really find it a challenge. It’s like it’s not easy to love someone as much as before when u know that the person has failed you or that person has disappointed you in some ways. I tried to love but I still can’t seem to overcome this barrier. God really reminded me on how man can fail us but He will never fail. Why am I choosing to put my trust in people? This shouldn’t be the case. My trust should be placed in God.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.”

God also showed me a picture of a small heart which gradually expanded to a big heart. As I continue to pray, I told Him that I want to move towards to having this big heart. If I can understand God’s love for me, I want to love your people like the way you love me. Even if this is going to be tough or it’s going to take some time, I really want to learn and have a bigger heart in loving those around me.

Yup everything written above is just a personal sharing. =)
