Wow, getting close to the end of the semester, all my papers and presentations are driving me nuts (and one more midterm hah). Why should I still spend time on homeless people, why waste any more time for church? Why do all the devotions and bible readings? Why volunteering!? There are nothing I get in exchange but simply giving away my precious time, I should just go hardcore on my academic work!
Being a Christian is to carry a commitment for God, to serve the community and to be a part of the church body. God is undoubtedly training me to become a man of FAITH. In the past, I do everything JUST for my pure benefits, volunteering was a joke to me. Funny thing is that in fact everything I realize everything I do now is ultimately more beneficial to me at a higher level! All these commitments supply me with all the energy and peace I ever need.
Do it, and God will provide!
Let’s not complain how much work you need to get done because God will simply provide with all you need.
