Hello Steemians, I just want to share something good. I went to the Elim community yesterday and it was a youth night! I was very hesitant at first since I had a lot of things to do yet there is an inner voice that's telling me that I should go.
And yes, not because my uncle is one of them but I think I was destined to be there at that day. And when I got there it has praise and worship and even if I haven't participated at it you can really feel the intimacy between the people and the lord there. After that we watched a video that gives a lesson on how the "non-youth" and the youth can actually understand each other in order to grow and can relate to each other in this chaotic and advanced world.
There is actually a quote that really left a print on my heart:
You are not the future, You are the now of God
It made me believe that I have been planning my future self and building it for the people around me and for my self but God is so good that I am the present and now is very important in His time!
They also initiated an act of washing the foot of the youth. We went and sat there in fron being washed by our elderly people because it simply emphasize that we are important and loved. Also it really humbles me as a teenager and a youth because they really did care and prayed for us. The preacher said in one of her prayers to us after the washing of foot "You will all be successful in whatever field you'll be on" and I really felt that since I am all undecided and just let God to do all his amazing works on me while I am on this earth!
It was actually a fulfilling day for me and I really felt God working for me yesterday even if I was so exhausted .
I hope God is working for all of you! And have a nice day, Good night!
