Some days ago, Siyu asked me if I felt weird in the group, because of the differences. I was blinded by the initial amicability of my group mates, for allowing to integrate so quickly and not felt left out, despite being the only 19 year old there. Yet, as the days went by, and together with the departure of some, and together with the disintegrating of the group into cliques, the problem was exposed. The difference in maturity level, difference in the level of pursuit for things, difference in the desire to progress, difference in the level of expectation, difference in priorities in life, difference in interests, difference in characters, difference in attitudes and so on. But wait... DID GOD CREATE MEN FOR THEM TO BE THE SAME?

Pastor Francis talked to me in response to my nod when he asked if anyone has ever considered going into full-time ministry. As I closed up and withdrew myself from the group, impression hits at me that I should indeed halt what I have been doing. Differences give rise to conflicts and conflicts always go against our desire, and God makes use of all these to mould our characters. Look upon all these as opportunities! If they are different, try to find out how different they are, so as to prepare myself for my own ministry in the future. To see these as opportunities indeed.

I shall start anew from here onwards!
