This week's sermon spoke about "What's on your resume?"...... just when I was nearing probably the busiest time of the entire year with the event coming in November.
I mean, first thoughts are... i) I've survived so far, ii) I'm learning every day now publicity and media management work, and iii) how to deal with unexpected twists of events. Hence, in terms of skill sets, I think I'm doing OK.
In terms of doing stuff for the church though, I think I probably scored among one of the lowest. Have been a so-called Christian my entire life and was lamenting to one of my church friends that I didn't really make any major contributions. Am a bit ashamed especially when I see people working so fervently e.g. helping and reaching out to the community, organising events etc.
But then good works are not what God is looking for. I mean, not in terms of scoring what dajie always refers to as "brownie points". Danger is also when the more you do, the more you feel more "righteous" than others. Rev Gan said that a true Christian repents both of his sins, and also of his sense of righteouness, which I quite agree.
And then, at the end of that resume, who will be your character referee? I know that I'm not the most easy-going person on earth, but when I die, I really hope to be remembered as i) a filial daughter, ii) a supportive sister, iii) a loving wife, iv) a sincere friend, iv) a responsible colleague, and most of all v) a person who has lived a life that is worth the time that God has given her.
And at the end of the day, God will be THE character referee, just simply because He knows everyone best. ^ ^
