To PPW,

Tonight our church is having ZLM- Zion Leaders Meeting in regards to this coming big sunday, the Freshies Welcome Sunday. it's the sunday when we invite new students in uni to join us in celebration on Sunday morning, the day when we're crowded with new friends, hence new souls that we are looking forward to invest in, to bring to salvation and to join us in the God's big family.

i myself am looking rlly forward to this ZLM meeting, because of the atmosphere where all the church leaders gather, and are so so so deeply madly worshipping God and praying out loud for this Sunday and for all the new friends in our midst.

and so coincidently i was scheduled to work tonight in the pharmacy. for the past 24hrs i hv been trying to find other staff to replace me but to no avail. i went to work, hoping that manager wud let me off one hour early so i can join ZLM but unfortunately she didnt allow me to do so. i was dishearten.

after work, i headed to ZLM venue, along the way, feeling deep regret/sadness/grief (well, not so dramatic but it was something like that). ZLM is almost ending by the time i arrived. i missed the powerful worship, i miss the prayer, i miss the amazing fellowship, i miss the testimonies time. the feeling of missing out something great is hitting hard on me. Then i reflect, what if we missed out so great and we actually realized we missed it..?

do you realized what u have missed today as Christian, his follower ..? something great something amazing, something that is already in front of you yet you missed it..? is it opportunity to serve, opportunity to repent, opportunity to be a part of doing something great for God, opportunity to build a deeper relationship with God, opportunity to shape your character, opportunity to take up more responsibilty, opportunity to be out of the comfort zone...?

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

if i had known earlier the regret and grief that i would feel for missing the ZLM, i would have negotiate/plan much earlier with my manager to get a (legal) leave from tonight's work.

and now surely i know God's plan is to prosper me, and i will not want to miss out any of His great plan in my life, for fear the feeling of regret/grief will be too horrible to bear.

Pray that our spiritual eyes be opened to His plan, pray that our Spirit is strong and willing, and that our flesh will submit to Spirit.

GBU n IPWS.
