Friday Prayer Meeting

This is the first time Sister Siew Poh joined our first Friday of the month prayer meeting. It is nice to hear her talk about her volunteering work at Singapore Anti-Narcotite Association (SANA) and some of her health problem. In prayer meeting, we get to know more of the people in our group and so understand each other better. But usually, the turn out is very low. Those who come are the one who see the need to give and just be part of the group. Everyone is given the opportunity to speak and so it is good to hear from one another. We may not spend much time in prayer but more in knowing the lives of others.

Which bring me to my point of writing this blog. As christians we need to talk about our life, and how God is working in our lives, or sometime, fail to see how God is working in our lives. Either way is good, the knowledge of God working in our lives help us to experience His presence and join Him in whatever He calls or guides. Also, the failure to see how God is working in my lives, will help me to be sensitive to Him and learn to sense His presence. The worse is to be apathy to Him.

As a body of Christ, I am trying to inculate this aspect of Christian living - sharing with one another how we can see our lives in God's perspective - by email on SHARE-A-THOUGHT, DEVOTION, REFLECTION, and reading articles. Hopefully, others will learn to draw near to God through all these and not feel that I am intruding into their spaces.

I hope Sister Siew Poh will continue to share her lives with others which can encourage others to shares their also.
