An afternoon at TCC

Today i got up at 8am.. Was supposed to meet my ex boss (the one in property) for a game of tennis at 10am. Before i left my workplace i was just saying maybe we can go for tennis sometime since we both know how to play.. Plus I thought after sharing Christ with him last time it will be a good opportunity to do a follow-up. Sadly, the end we only managed to warm up before being cooled down again by a shower which readily became a downpour. Since the rain wasn't about to let up anytime soon we gave up and decided to just go for lunch at TCC instead.. oh and what a long lunch it was. I remembered praying to God to give me a converstation opening to share abt who God is.. And somehow when he was asking abt the traits of young pple nowadays i happened to mention depression as one of the traits. It so happens that there was a period in his life where he went through acute depression because he felt there was no meaning in life. And as he opened up(which surprised me) and told me abt it, i found out that he had tried to seek after God in one period of his life.. but somehow, he didn't find what he was looking for. At first when i first knew him i thought it was a strong pride that was preventing him from accepting Christ. But after our chat today i realised it was the long period of questioning and seeking and never getting an answer.. it gradually led to dissapointment and a deep cynicism towards religion. Against this, i felt all i could do is to share my experience with God and try to be as real as possible. It was tough because he had such a strong wall of skeptism built up.. at one time i was so frustrated because everything i said he had a rebuttal. And it wasn't even my intention for it to be a debate.. He was the toughest nut to crack and the hardest person i've ever tried to salt..

Anyway, i'm glad i stuck through it bcos I believe God sent me into his path. So i'm determined to do a good job. Remember I got the property job on the day i went for the interview? I believe God had a plan..

I invited him for service. Surprisingly he said he'll come. I'll be asking him again this sat.. gotta go for the adult one cos he'll be too over-aged for YAS. Then it's really up to God to work. I've done all i can.. Words are nothing without a true encounter..
