Focus on God

Last week at the cell group meeting, we shared about some of the things that were hindering us to fulfill the plan and destiny that God has for us. Some of us said that we often had many excuses, even when we knew what God wanted us to do. We often allowed ourselves to ignore what we should do with those excuses. But what are the main causes behind all these excuses?

For me, sometimes I worried about what other people would think of me, sometimes I worried that I couldn't make things perfect... Fear of man and perfectionism often hindered me to step out or move forward.

One of the things that I always want to do is to write some sharing and testimonies in English, to testify God's goodness with more people. But with one of my top 10 excuses: "My English is not good enough." I seldom write in English, except emails. Even though I always encourage people to write, and tell them that the content is more important than the grammar. But when it came to me, I could hardly accept any bad grammar or even tiny mistake in my published writing pieces, especially the Chinese ones.

Our challenge of the week was to ask God to take away all these hindrances and walk freely into our destiny. But how can we take away the hindrances?

I shared with the group that sometimes when I prayed for the sick, I knew that some people would look at my body and wonder why I would still pray for others, what could I possiblely give to them? I doubted about that too sometimes... But I thank God that everytime when I looked to Him, He would lead me to submit myself to Him and then give me the peace and faith to complete His work.

So the solution is always "Focus on God." This is what He keeps reminding me these years. If I focused on myself or others, I would have missed what He wanted me to do.

After last cell meeting, I've decided to start my English blog! And also practice what I preach: concentrate on putting together some good contents, rather than entangling with the grammar. So please excuse me if you happened to see some Chinese-English or weird sentences in here. I hope you will only see the light and love of God, and be blessed by that.
