Two of our church pastors are leaving this week to Penang. The news is quite shocking to most of us because we never thought that they will leave the church , and now they even leaving KL.
BUt definitely they are not leaving because of any internal conflict or 'BIG EAR' problem.NO , as Ps kenneth had put it so clearly in church that sunday, they are in fact moving to another phase of their lives . They are going to pursue God plan for their lives. Though the heart is so burdened to leave behind so many loved ones and even dear frens, I am sure that the decision made is not without careful thinking and long consideration.
But even when I have the assurance from God that this is the right decision made, like so many others , I would still try to reason with God on why they should not go ,the challenges they will faced , and how hard it is going to be for this wonderful family who love God so much to start a new church in Penang.
Am I being selfish ? = Yes .
What about those who needed them in Penang ? = We in KL also NEED them .
What about the Hungry sheep who are now even thirsty for some word or knowledge of God , people who are even as I am writing this down, being lulled by the world telling them " MONEY IS ALL YOU REQUIRED , DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO ACHIEVE IT & YOU WILL be HAPPY ! ?"Is this what we want for our next generation ? = I am sure life is not only that !
Finally I realised too , that this is also a stage that I must overcome my feelings and let God's higher purpose to prevail.
So with much blessings and relunctance , we are releasing this beautiful family to the church in Penang. MAy God always give them the strength to overcome challenges and to dwell in the presence of God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit .Amen .
Goodbye :)
