Great Plan

That made me wanting to cry because on that Friday evening, God wasn't that faraway, untouchable, big and almighty God, but he was that one-to-one personal God who comforted and assured me when I start to falter.

Check out this video.




This is so inspirational. When I first saw it about a year ago, all I could say was wow. Truly amazing. The 2nd time was the best.

Anyway, I've got a testimony to share out here regarding this video.

I was in college last year and there were clubs, societies and all other sorts of co-curricular activities that one could join. That was in the early part of the year.
It wasn't compulsory to join, but most joined because we still carried that mentality from high school where it was compulsory.

Even so, most students joined for the sake of positions, fame and what not. I joined for the certificate. Though I didn't get any after all, haha.

Coming back; I joined the squash club and we had the first meeting to elect the committee. We had our chosen ones and in barged in some gal and her 2 male lackeys trotting behind.I recognised her as a former head prefect of a particular school in Subang.

Basically, she was late for the committee election and she was rather pissed about it. She begged the former club president who chaired the meeting to restart the elections. I'm glad he didn't.

I was thinking to myself, 'wow this is one power crazy girl'. During this time also, she was running for President on the A-levels student council. Certainly power crazy.

Another thought came into my mind. I was appalled to witness these people vying and lobbying for positions. I wondered what gets them going, what they would do to achieve that or what means to justify their ends?

And besides that, fame plays a very important role here. If you ain't one of the top dudes in college, you're never going to get nominated let alone voted for any position.. I, being not influential am not going to be anywhere near there.

I felt intimidated and hopeless. If these are how things are gonna be, I'm going to be achieving peanuts. I talked to God about it. Poured my soul to Him.

And I thanked God that He responded. Though not through this way. The following day was a Friday and there was CF. Thank God for CF! Coz that was where God comforted me.

There was this lady pastor who was the guest speaker. Sorry I can't remember her name. Too bad I came in late coz I had classes. But the best thing is that God made me come just at the right timing.

I came in time for this video. I was touched in my soul. I forgot what the pastor said, but the gist of it was God has a great plan and a future for you despite whatever circumstances you're in. You know, it felt like that whole CF meeting was set up just for me, because that message was for me.

That made me wanting to cry because on that Friday evening, God wasn't that faraway, untouchable, big and almighty God, but he was that one-to-one personal God who comforted and assured me when I start to falter.

I thanked God for that, coz that made God even more real to me. He listen's to the cry of his people even if mine is considered petty.

I left that CF meeting feeling much lighter and assured that God has everything marked and ticked in His plan.

Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I KNOW the PLANS I have for YOU, " says the LORD. "They are plans for GOOD and not for disaster, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE."
