I was feeling very down yesterday. As you would have probably read in my entry. I was questioning why? Why did God allow something so wonderful happen to me, and not allow me to be able to stay till the end?
This morning when I woke up, I dragged my feet to work. I did not want to have anything to associate with that place, which i had come to love, because then, that will make leaving it so much harder. Then I remembered something that I learnt during the Adventure week, in Acts 20: 13-38, where Paul was telling the elders of the church of Ephesus to be careful against false prophets and wolves. But it's not what he was saying that struck me, but the situation he was in. He was going to leave for Jerusalem, where he already knew that "prison and hardships" would await him. Yet, he found it in himself to give these elders courage to face the storm. And now, I am going to leave soon, and I know that when I come back, the Project Serve I knew will cease to exist. Paul did not spend his last few moments with them saying goodbyes, and crying about the past, he spent it talking about the future, and encouraging them.
The devil wants me to feel this way. He wants me to feel down so that I'll have no mood to share the Gospel!! I may be wrong about all that I've just spoken, and I may be wrong about this feeling which I'm having. But one thing I'm sure I'm not wrong about, is that this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, I'm gonna do my best and share His grace =)
