I am understanding more and more why I’d go to ocf every Friday, six years altogether now. Sometimes I think it’s for the simple reason that for the few hours on the Friday night, people make time and take time off the mid-semester-busy-schedule to come together to enjoy one another, be it in a word of encouragement or a concerned ‘how-was-your-week, or a let-me-say-a-prayer-for-you… my favourite is the run-from-afar-hug that says it all. I think all these years, the love and attention that’ve been showered upon me have helped curb the low-self-esteem and insecurity and attention-seeking-behaviours… Hehe… (plus where else do you find such gracious people who laugh at the lamest of jokes)…

And although everyone is a Work-In-Progress and might offend/hurt at times, I think that’s precisely the beauty of it. Afterall Jesus came for the sick and needy (quoting YinHun from last night). I suppose people want to see the evidence for most things nowadays. For me I know that God is near each time I experience the love and care displayed through the OCFers, each time I see the faith expressed, and the perseverance because of the hope that they hold in their hearts.

I love how OCF leaders Love Until Christ Is Evidently Near, that it’s not all talk but lotsa actions as well as they serve us.

John 13:34-35:

³⁴"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. ³⁵By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
