Volunteering

Volunteering in terms of reaching out to old folks or unreached people groups has never been a strong calling in my life. I have often thought about what's wrong with my theology that I do not have that much of a desire and passion to go to orphanages and old folks' homes to serve. I don't think it's a lack of love. Neither is it a lack of compassion. I still have no idea why my heart is not passionate towards these groups of people. This time, the 2 main reasons why I went was because three dear friends took the time and effort to organise the event. Also, I felt that it's important that I go and serve in this area. Sometimes, I just need to be kicked in the butt.

At the end of it all, there was a feeling of peace, a certain sense of serenity, and I guess that's God's way of saying, you have done something right. I figured that it's not how we feel in doing God's work. Sometimes we may know that it's the right thing to do but we don't act on it because we do not feel like it. Because feelings are unreliable and of the flesh, sometimes, if possible, it is best that we just do what is right in God's eyes, because we will be ultimately blessed by it in the end. ANd maybe then, we will get an answer from God that would help us increase our understanding of how we ought to live.

ALl in all, I am thankful for the giving hearts of the three organisers. Way proud of them :)God bless their hearts.
