As the interns are coming to the end of two weeks of internship, bond of unity were formed between all the participants as well as with the facilitators... I could see how the initial awkwardness and shyness shown at the beginning of the internship is melting away with time... We enjoy each other's company and as we gave Harry a farewell party last night, I couldn't help but wonder how amazing our God is... He has called us from all nations to be one in Him. It was great having a cross-cultural experience, everybody had a blast learning each other's culture and way of life, however the main thing is we're people from different parts of the world coming together in the name of Christ..!! Although many of us speak different languages and have very different cultures one from another, we were united as one through His love. Our God truly is an awesome God!
How amazing.... the hospitality shown by the local EE leadership who had hosted this internship so well and made sure that we had all the best facilities possible during the internship really touch our heart... The fact that every participant contributes his / her best and bring each of his / her unique background to the team adds color, dynamic and intensity of the whole program. Living together for 4 weeks mean that all of us get to know each other in a deep and personal way, probably even more than our own family...
As I ponder upon this experience thus far, I realized that we're just experiencing a little bit of heaven.... a fore-taste of all the great things to come.... Just imagine the kind of joy and fun we're going to experience living in eternity... Folks, we are going to do this forever, worshiping God together, loving each other deeply and passionately, enjoying Him and having fellowship with Him together with all the redeemed of the Lord for all eternity! Halleluya...
Finally, I just want to remind all of us with this verse:
"13But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.14For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end" - Hebrews 3:13-14
Life might have its own set of challenges for you and you might be going some pretty tough time in life but remember, just as what the interns have been experiencing for two weeks living and seeking God together, we're just getting the foretaste of Heaven. There's a hope of glory awaiting for us at the end of our brief stay here on earth... God bless you.
