Worship God in Spirit and in truth

I just want to take some time to write down what I experienced on Sun evening during our BV prac:

I was feeling very discouraged the past few days by things that happened. Shall not mention too much about what had caused that discouragement because that's not important. I went to BV prac with a heavy heart. I thought it's going to be a normal BV prac whereby we learn new songs together. However, God has a better plan for everybody who was present that day.

Our task for the day: Worship (Sing) individually in front of everyone and bare our hearts out when we sing. After singing, share what was on our minds as we worship Him.

It wasn't easy to sing and worship God alone because we were showing our most vulnerable inner being. However, we still did it.

We sang Pastor Sun and Bro Mark's song. We could really feel what each individual was feeling as they sing for God. From the singing, we could tell our relationship with God. The presence of God fell in the room as everyone started to focus and sing. Tears flowed down our cheeks.

It was through the singing and the sharing that I begin to know my fellow BV mates more. Realised that some people are going through certain tough times. I wasn't the only one feeling burdened. It was then that I felt all of us were closer to each other.

Worshiping God brought our hearts together. We see each other once a few weeks irregularly and never really get to know one another deep. This session really brought us closer. Like what Ying said, this is what ministry is all about. Ministry is about building relationship with the people in the ministry and growing in our relationship with God as we serve and minister to people.

At the end of the prac, we prayed for each other in twos and ended off the prac with a hug for everyone. Actually I always look forward to hugs. The thing is, I think my CG members don't really like to hug each other. I always hug my Eunice. And I often ask God to give me people to give me big big hugs. SO, I got it all on that day. Think I hugged 12 person altogether. Great sense of love from all those hugs. I think we all need such forms of love actions but are always too shy to do it.

My spirit is slightly lifted up after the prac and I went home to continue praying and to lift up my all to Him. So all's well now! I'm healed emotionally! Praise the Lord!

Whenever we worship God in spirit and in truth, the presence of God will be in our midst to set us free in our struggles. Worshiping God is not just singing a song. But we got to visualise God and mean every word that we sing to Him. When we mean every word we sing, we are worshiping in truth. We don't have to try so hard to be like other people. We can just be ourselves. We can afford to be vulnerable before God.

I really thank God for such a wonderful time that we had. Knowing it is one thing, only through experiencing it will you get excited and want more of it.

Wanna write more but my bro is back. I got to return the laptop to him. So, farewell!!
