Wasn't I reminded that each and every one of us is created uniquely for different purpose by the Lord when I was preparing my personal testimony to be submitted for Cg?
Wasn't I taught by Lisa that as long as I do the best that I can for the people around me, I don't care if others do the same?
Wasn't I reminded that a person learns different things according to different seasons in life when I was talking to her about the Cg message that she had preached when we were counting the offering?
Wasn't my mind renewed when I read Pst Cho's article and learnt about not trying to help God?
Wasn't I praying about trusting in the Lord during the last weekday's prayer meeting?
Didn't I reminded of Matt 5:46-47 and 1 Cor 13:2-3 and did I just take these 2 verses in my head but not my heart?
All these are what I've experienced in the last one month when I went through my situations and maybe I've really been missing out till I spoke to a friend yesterday regarding some issue I'm facing with the Cg. During the conversation, what strike me the most was on the accountability towards God. I always thought that I'm rather an accountable person but I guess my area of accountability was more towards my leader that I forgot about that most importantly, I should be accountable to God for all my actions and thoughts.
The cg members are all made differently from me as if they are the same as I am, it defeats the purpose for them to be placed in my life because they are suppose to mould/help me in areas that I'm lacked in or weak at. I shouldn't expect them to be like me, to like what I like, to think what I think, to talk about what I talk, for we're all created differently!
My responsibility here is to serve the Lord and His people, do the best that I can for them so that at the end of the day, I can be accountable to God. As for the people, they will only grow according to their time and seasons and come to the maturity in areas of their life when it is their time. I'm can't force for the result to be shown and I'm not suppose to help the Lord change His timing or His people in ways that I think they will be better in. I should trust in my members and most importantly in God that He is in control of every life and He will have the perfect timing and seasons to grow and mould them into ways He want them to be in as they follow Him.
But as a leader, should the leader teaches his people to be like himself or to help the people become who they should be? And what about being only with group of people that you wanna be like or is the same as you? I mean, a peacock wouldn't flock together with crow right.
