Availability vs Ability

Blesses Christmas to all! Reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and may you find great joy!

Today is Christmas day... Woohoo! But today's service was a lil... i dunno how to say. Messy?

This happened and beholded me to think again.. Availability or Ability? Well, let's see...

Worship session for today was in charged by GOSPEL team, worship led by my youth counselor Uncle Chie. Perhaps he's a little nervous. He can't seem to catch up with the tempo. The worship team was patiently telling him when to start singing and bla bla... but through their facial expression, i can see that some of them slowly lose their patience...

So now worship time... Uncle Chie still can't sing very well. There were parts where he sang so softly that many will definitely think that he doesn't know how to sing. Then pastor with his portable microphone sang loudly. i can sense his frust in his voice. wah... the worship was a lil... i don't wanna comment la. i still love my counselor, though... gambateh Uncle Chie!!! Show the power of your Foochow blood!

Next thing i wanna highlight is about YLDP. Prior to this camp, Rekha my youth president told me that James Ong, the national MYF president asked for a worship team from Sentul. Those talented ones didn't want to go. And those who went are either not very talented in music or no talent at all, like me. But i thought of this interesting statement: God wants your availability, not your ability. Well, well, well.. i contacted them to avail myself to help out in anything. If i need training, i'll go for it. Even if it's some unimportant tasks, i'm ok with it, since they asked us ady ma. The answer was: It's ok. We can have someone else.

Nah you see... these 2 incidents prove that ability is still important. if you don't have talents, chances are that you might not be taken. So it's good la.. itz a bonus to have talent. I trust God will enable us.

But as for those who has talents but not using them to glorify God, they have to think of an asnwer for that Day.
