everytime i watch a documentary about global warming, i get really emo ):
and i also realised that i'm really frightened of the open sea! its soo.... dark blue.. its like, you dont know whats lurking below, and anything could just drag you down into the water!
thats just a very random comment. haha (:
today, i realised how much i miss christian fellowship.
i dont feel like i have very much of it, even though i go for yf every week!
as i was walking to church, i pictured how it used to be: the older youths would not need to be forced to go up to the younger ones and make them feel more at home. they would do it willingly, whenever they saw a shy one sitting in a corner. when it came to group sharing, we would talk about our stuggles in our walk with God, and not just about what happened in our week! we would pray for each other.
i feel like we are slowly losing our bond in Christ, which really saddens me. worship sessions have become increasingly quiet. im not too sure why, because since we all love God, shouldnt we sing to Him at the top of our voices in gratitude to Him? why are we so reluctant to sing praises, and yet when it comes to comtemporary songs, like the new song we heard on the radio, we sing it with such enjoyment and volume?
what we are missing, is our focus on Christ alone! i feel that yf shouldnt solely be a place where friends get together just to hang out. afterall, arent we called to be set apart and different from the world?
"
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light" - 1 Peter 2:9
yf retreat is coming. its this week in fact! theme is 'Christ's love compels us'. its really apt, and i thank God for that, and i'm praying that He will speak to everyone of us, be it through the messages, songs sung, or maybe even through christian fellowship! (:
im really looking forward to it (: i hope you all are too (:
