Ever think of what so special about Christianity? Some said Christian is a religion of Love, and because on love we stand, church done a lot of community work and serve the community. There are free food for student at the Emmanuel baptist Church every Tuesday, and free breakfast for homeless people at Central Baptist Church every month. Which I try to help in both the service.
There are times, when I figure of Christian's Love. When we put out our cross, people will expect we are a group of loving people. But when we give out our Love, will people really appreciate it? or they just abuse our Love? If people don't appreciate our love, why do we still keep on showing our love?
Last week, was my first time going to the free food on Emmanuel Baptist Church. I was shock at the numbers of student going for the free food at church, they willing to Q for half hour for the food, but few numbers of people that stay for the fellowship after the meal. I had been attending the chinese fellowship on Friday for nearly 3 month, but never a chinese student come to the fellowship on Friday, yet the numbers of chinese student on Tuesday free food was more than 50. Do we using a wrong way in approaching others? Is it necessary to feed the student?
Love, is the strength of a Christian, but yet it is the weakness that can be abuse by others. We willing to help, in physical and spiritual, but we do not ask for return. I believe, what we ask is just appreciate what we do. There was once, when a people want to borrow money from a Christian friend, and his statement is like this: you are christian, you should have love, you should help me. Did any of this case happen on you before? or around you? Honestly said, I encounter a few of similar case like that before. People tend to demand something from us, asking favor of us, and all we do is try to fulfill it, answer it. Because we believe, Love is the only thing that make us different from others.
Behold, my brother and sister, do not stop loving others even when people do not appreciate the Love on us, do not stop serving others when it bring benefit to others. Ecclesiastes said, all the work on earth is just chasing after wind, everything is in vain; but Paul confirm us that all the work done in The Lord, will not be vain.1 Corinthians 15:58.
Let us love the community, even though the community forsaken us; Let us love those homeless, although they not coming to The Lord; let us serve the student, although they just come for food; let us fulfill their demand, although they just want the favor. Let Love be our biggest strength, although it might be our biggest weakness as well. Let us put down ourselves, for the good of others in the name of The Lord, knowing that all we done will not be vain.
