Last session, the young adults continued their discussion on different forms of worship and focused on how we can continue to do so in our daily lives.
Many of us tend to have strong reactions towards our family, the people closest to us, sometimes feeling like the worst of us is revealed in front of them. How then can we continue to worship God in our daily interactions with family?
For some it involves taking a breather before responding, and for others, to give up our own wants and expectations. Just like how Jesus has given us His life when none of us deserve it, perhaps when we honour others even when every fibre in our body is resistant towards it, will God be able to invade our hearts to see others and the world through His eyes. Rewiring our behaviour can then help to rewire our beliefs.
On the thread of how God sees others and the world, we briefly touched on how Jesus sent his disciples out with hardly any training. He saw their own value before they felt they had any. Perhaps some food for thought on how we personally trust and place value on others, sometimes micromanaging because of a fear of things going wrong.
Quite a timely thread with PM Wong’s recent sharing on his desire to have Singapore be a place where everyone is valued and to create a nation where people have the space to fail and try again.
After all, what do we have to fear when the Lord is with us, who will strengthen us and guide us? Can we then lean into being a community that allows exploration for the sake of exploration, learning for the sake of learning, without having to derive value purely based on outcomes?
