Ministry of People

God's love and grace is the most amazing thing we can feel or find on earth. Nothing else compares or even comes close to it! God just poured out so much for us, and He is still pouring out more for us. If only we can stop to think about what He has done for us and not just keeping on the track of asking God for more and more and more and more and more and more.
God will never not have enough to give to us, just that sometimes overlook the attitude of having gratitude for all that He has done for us. Appreciating what He has already given to us and never stop thanking Him for everything. If we actually stop to thank God for everything, we won't even have enough time in our lifetime to do it! So how come we are more caught up with the things we want don't not yet have?
Sadly, we as Christians only keep asking and wondering how come God doesn't give us this, doesn't do that for us, asking why we are still stuck in this situations, why God has placed such a difficult person for me to shepherd, why doesn't people understand me, why can't I do what I want. These questions just keeps on floating around our minds and guess what, we would in our most natural human instincts go and entertain it with our best utmost abilities! As we entertain such thoughts, we then fall into that trap of being self-centered and focusing at what our needs are and how others fail to meet that need.
"TING TING TING!!!" ITs WAKE UP CALL TIME!! It is time we stopped and look at the things that are happening around us and STOP thinking only for yourself! Yes, we are important to God, but we can't just be satisfied looking at the mirror and say:" Oh, You are so important to God, God loves you and God cares for you." We have to learn to say it to OTHER PEOPLE who are also living on this earth with us, in case you happen to forget that you are not the only person living on earth.
Spare a thought for your brothers and sisters, don't just be focused upon your own needs. Take a step out from the mirror and look at the needs that are out there. You'll learn to appreciate life a lot more and learn to appreciate what God is doing in your life already. MOST IMPORTANTLY, to learn to give to others and appreciate others because that is exactly what GOD Himself commanded us to do. Love Your neighbours as you love yourself.
Things that I still learning; the ministry of people is really a tough one. After pouring out what you as a limited human being have, people still can ignore all you have done. Just like how people have ignored what God has done by GIVING HIS MOST PRECIOUS; His son Jesus.
I'm learning to be humble and take what ever people are giving me and give to people whatever they are asking from me. My only cry:"If only they would see the example and learn from it."
