Yesterday during sermon, Pastor Soh was sharing that serving God is not an easy thing to do. The sermon was referred to the text 'Jeremiah 15:15-21', about how Jeremiah suffered for trying to serve God and was complaining to God for all the troubles that he was going through.
Serving God is really tough. I'm already going through it now. The pain and stress of being a discipleship group leader.
It pains you when your kids are unappreciative of one another.
It pains you when your kids disrespect you.
It pains you when your kids do not bond with one another.
It pains you when your kids are not living according to God's ways.
It pains you when your kids do not understand the amount of effort you're putting in for them.
It pains you when your kids misbehave.
The list goes on...
Being a leader is not an easy job. Moreover, being a leader in God's ministry is even harder.
But I know that God gave me the role of a leader for a reason. He knew that I could take up this role and do a good job.
He never guarantee that the path of a leader will be an easy one, but He did promise me that He will walk me through this journey. It is through such trials that I can grow stronger in faith in God.
'From Suffering to Strength' was the sermon title yesterday. I felt that God was speaking to me through it. I maybe suffering now, but I know that if I learn to depend on God, I will gain strength. With that strength, I will be able to fight the good fight and finish the race that He had prepared for me.
Therefore, I wanna encourage other leaders who are also serving in God's ministry. Though being a leader is tough, but press on, because God saw leadership potential in you. He gave you the role of a leader for a reason. Don't give up~ :)

*From Suffering to Strength*
