the love of God
had an interesting cell meeting last night. interesting as in there are a lot of distractions. baby Serene just can't stop talking, wonder around, some cell members talk to each other on their own, i really felt discourage. i ask myself, how can i keep control of the situation, seems like everyone is there but not there! how to keep them focus? i can't be telling Thomas & Vivian not to bring Serene to cell, since she is one of the major disctraction. how, how, how? i really don't know what to do. towards the end of cell, Elmery shared something that really encouraged me. she said, from her observation of Serene, she just comes to you, play and hug you without any purpose or reason, she just wants to do that. God would also like us to do that, just go to Him, without purpose or reason, to spent time with Him. another thing that she also mentioned is that when Serene is about to fall, many pairs of hands will be there, ready to catch her. just like how God is in protection of us. when we are about to fall, He will be there to catch us. sometimes He let go, so that we can learn from our 'falls'. just like how parents would do to let their children fall in order for them to learn learn. that really reminded me the love that God has for us! i text Elmery to let her know that i was encouraged by what she shared, she said that she thought no one is listening! many times i think we are too stingy with our words in terms of encouraging and commenting people, as if by doing so will cost us our fortune or our life. not knowing by doing so sometimes, will really help pull someone up, it might just be the thing that they want to hear! i am guilty of it myself. need to learn to be more generous in this. how about you?
