Revived on the Seventh Day

Jump to Comments

On the seventh day, God rested.

It’s good that after a week of work, there is Sunday. After all the tiring activities in school and struggles on resisting temptations, I could have a rest, not only of a physical rest, but of also emotional one. This is not a matter of a religious activity. I go to church because I want to serve Him. Praising Him makes my soul joyful and thankful for everything that happens in my life.

Sunday is the best day of my spirit. I work from Monday to Saturday but during Sundays, I can feel that after the service, my body, which has been toxicated from weekday’s intense works, rests and revives. My mind is so full of new wisdom and knowledge so I thank God for Sunday!

I just could not miss the Sunday service, especially that our topic is about “soul winning”. Sometimes, I feel like not going to the church because of tiredness and also “laziness!” (you see, the schedule is too early: 8:30 to 10:30) I even have little time at home (I go home of course, to see my family and wash clothes), but it’s okay for as long as I do my works for God, I will never get tired.

I can see that our church is fast growing. I met new youths today. More and more youths, children and families are attending for Sunday service. I am really glad to see that the mission of our church (”to win souls and make disciples”) and its vision (50,000 church sitting capacities in five years), is becoming true (now, we have more than a hundred members). We all believe that God is moving in our homeplace and more souls will be brought and will work for His kingdom.

Now the preaching of our Pastor became a great challenge to me. I keep on thinking that one day (soon!), I will see my whole family and friends be brought in our church. Tears came out of my eyes this morning as I realized that my loved ones (especially my family) are not yet saved from fire. Woe to me if I could not fulfill my mission! Woe to me if I could not do nothing for not sharing life to them! I’m so much full of compassion to people who have not known Christ. I feel sorry for myself for not yet bringing the souls of my family (and some friends) to heaven. I really love them—everyone who has been a part of me. I have to work now before it’s too late. May God help me… Yes He will…
