Stayed back to clear work once again. As usual, a particular ADir came along to disturb my colleague and I. He has a penchance for sweet things, and my colleague's pocky sticks were gone within minutes.
The talk turned to catholicism and christianity. The two of them were catholics, and for me, christian. The initial casual talk, became one of depth when the two lamented on how their passion for what they believed in were withered along the way.
After some time, the ADir left for home, and I decided that since we were on the same topic, I wanted to find out if my colleague's stand on who God was and the fundamental of what Jesus came to earth for held true for her.
I heaved a sigh of relief in my heart when she agreed that Jesus came to die for our sins, that we are saved through Him, and that we are awaiting His arrival. Though of course, there were differences in how much emphasis we look forward to His arrival, and also the various rituals that catholics practise. The basic understanding that she understands that she is saved allowed me to thank God. She also shared her experiences with God, and how He called her back to Him. Though the "relationship" is not that intimate, and she still experiences that gap of awe with God, yet, I am just thankful throughout the discussion, that at least, all these were surfaced. It refreshed me. This was one of my objectives in this organisation. To bring people to God, else, to help clarify the fundamentals. Today, one came to pass.
It is the beginning of many more to come. It is my hope, to touch people through my work and also through sharing of His love. The partnership with Him, in spreading the love, is one which surpasses all other matters. The joy that comes along with it, is irreplaceable.
