Dear all,
I dedicated my life to Christ ten years ago, and He has shown His faithfulness in radically transforming my whole character, though truly truly I could not even begin to say that I deserved even the smallest shred of His grace. However, my commitment to Christ was a private one, and I shied away from being involved in the larger body of believers, partly because my family is non-Christian, and partly because of my own shy personality. The detrimental effect of this was that I remained an infant -- a new-born -- in my spiritual maturity for many, many years. Two years ago, God helped me to finally overcome my shyness enough to start attending church at a local congregation. However, I usually went alone, and though I have since grown tremendously spiritually as a result, I knew I had to do more. Yet I always found excuses to put off any greater commitment. Dear brothers and sisters, I am happy to share with all of you that this morning, I was moved to sign on for my congregation's membership class, which will take place weekly from June to August, culminating in my baptism and confirmation into membership. I guess it's not a big deal, but it was quite a step of faith for me to do this (btw, I am 20 years old, currently serving NS). I really, really, really want this to be the start of much deeper commitment, in terms of my relationship with God and also in my service to my fellow man. I am excited by this and wanted to share my feelings with someone. I sincerely believe that I am following God's patient leading in this. However, there is still some trepidation... I am worried that my shyness will get in the way during the membership class sessions, as well as my hopeful subsequent involvement in the church. Dear brothers and sisters, if you could just pray for me to be able to have the confidence to go where God is leading me, I will be very humbly grateful indeed... Thanks for reading my message. May our gracious Lord bless all of you this Resurrection Sunday and forever more! KL
