Came back from the TCS leaders’ retreat, it was refreshing and rejuvenating. Not only was I rereshed in the Lord but also refreshed in the passion and freindship of my fellow colleagues in TCS. Of course, the moment I’m back, I jumped straight into my readings and assignments again :-p
As I was pondering on what to update in the blog, I was somehow led to read a devotion from Oswald Chamber in My Utmost to His Highest. This sentence caught my attention…”Do not rejoice in your successful service for Me, but rejoice because of your right relationship with Me.” I believed that it is no coincidence that Ps Rol also sent me an article from Buddy Owen which is entitled “How healthy is your vineyard?”. The article reminded that many at times, our religious activities overtook our spiritual intimacy with the Lord.
No wonder, Ps Rol is calling forth and asking BIG for a revival in our hearts, a revival in 
the hunger for the Lord’s presence and His intimacy. For without this intimacy and this relationship with the Lord, we will once again be slaves and not truely enjoying the freedom and presence with our Lord. Let us once again, look into the condition of our hearts and ask the Lord to rekindle our love for Him.
I am thinking and I am reflecting….maybe you can ask yourself some of these questions too: When was the last time you talked to God, not because you needed something, but simply out of friendship? When was the last time you spent time in the Word, not for the sake of public ministry, but for the sake of personal renewal? What is your identity in Christ? Do you see yourself as a servant working for your master, or as a son working with your father?
Hey Bro, not sure if you have heard it from anyone yet. But i have an announcement to make. Haha! =p
