During the second night session of the camp, we had an experiential candlelight meeting. Not only was the candlelight magnificent in its glow that brightened the dark hall in its masses, but the fact that the light of every candle was passed down from one candle to another.
In church, Pastor has always been urging us to be the salt and the light of the world; impacting and influencing the society. And many a times this catch phase comes to as simply just a tagline for everyone. But through this meeting I realised that impacting and influencing society begins with one being able to pass on your light to another person. Simply saying, it's making someone else's day , making someone shine with your light.
Bringing this back with me - to be determined to make the day of the people around me - I felt that I had to really go and make someone feel special. That Saturday I invited a friend of mine to service. However due to work limitations, he could only make it during his dinner time from 7 to 8 pm. When previously his colleagues would have accompanied him, this time he is on his own. Although I wasn't intending to make it for the Sat's service, I dropped by his work place at 630pm and went together for service. Rev John was already into his offering message and ending the service soon. Regardless of the late entry, and sitting at the back rows, upon altar call by Pst Kong and persistent encouragement, my friend responded and gave his heart to Jesus that night!
I believe that when you make someone's day, it is really the little things that matter. Dev, if you ever read this, thank you fir making my day. :)
