this couldn't wait for the morning light... my friend is saved!!!!

i received the sms from her about exceedingly good news, "beyond my imagination".. the thoughts were running through my mind: could it be a job, a new guy, a what? But then i thought that the only good news i really wanted to hear was that she has met God and is saved. i thought more about it as i dried my hair and thought how good the news, how sweet the sound will be. i knew nothing else, even a new job, a new posting or a new guy really mattered..

i've known her ever since my secondary (high) school days. have invited her to church several times and she's been there and seen it all but never took that step to invite Jesus into her life. i've prayed on occasions for her to be safe. have to be honest, i've not been consistent in my prayers for her... i can't believe it. it's so good God. You finally did it. It's amazing. in two days, her perspective of life is already different. she talks different. she sees things differently. she sees at last that God is in her life, in all of its ups and downs. i don't know whether to cry or laugh! i'm simply overwhelmed by your goodness God.

and to think i was feeling discouraged these few days about the tertiary camp that my church was organising. i was wondering if we were doing the right thing and if our efforts were all in vain. several things have gone wrong during the planning and preparation. i screwed up the tshirt colour, the file and papers are not exactly in perfect order but they will have to do.. a last minute skit which i had only time to rehearse twice..not many non-believers invited to the church camp...

But today, hearing the salvation of my friend i am truly, deeply moved. i know that all the tears and sweat, frustration and despair, desperate prayers over long hours.. all this is worth it just for that one soul and when that one soul returns to God, how it brings joy to His heart. i just wanna say God that everything i've gone through in ministry, in my personal life.. and will go through in the future.. everything is worth it God.
