True Discipleship

How I spent my teary Sunday, 13^th October, 2013.

I sat quietly tears rolling down my chicks, “Oh God help me, I can’t cry not now” I thought.  As I reached down for my handbag, my hands wet from the tears, I only wished I could find a piece of tissue in my bag.  “Oh! Not again” seeing the tissue opened up for a floodgate of more tears.  This is not what I anticipated as I decided to attend the meeting.

My tears were from nothing but just listening to different women talk of their testimonies, I have heard these kinds of testimonies many times before but this time it was different.   It was about true discipleship filled with true love for service, serving with deep reverence and passion.  It reminded me my own pain, the pain that I felt when I was all alone with no one around me.  Pain when I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me alive.  I had given up all hope.  But just right on time before I succumbed to everything an angel came and saved me as in Deuteronomy 32: 11 “As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, taketh them, and beareth them on her wings” That is exactly what happened to me at the time, lonely and isolated not knowing what next step to take. 

Tears continued to roll, not more because of my own experience but knowing that through these women someone is being blessed through their labor of reaching out offering friendships, love and proclaiming the great message of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  As I cried I thanked my Heavenly Father for his love for me and for women like these sitting around me who are called to serve at the feet of our Lord Jesus and have accepted to be used as instruments to reach out to other women.  I am glad that as they continue to sacrifice their time to share the love and the message, then one more woman who is in a “hole” as I was shall get an opportunity to experience God’s true love.

May God bless these women as they continue to be a blessing to others through their calling and in their discipleship.
