For the earth will be filled
With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
As the waters cover the sea. - Habakkuk2:14
Yesterday was the third time a group from the bible college, the youth group and the church here in Siegen went into the city handing out coffee, hotchocolate and talking with the people of Siegen this semester. It was wonderful to getogether before hand and have a time of worship and prayer with those who were going to be heading out together. This time of fellowship and prayer is so important. God really uplifted me through this and brought my focus onto Him and Him alone.
Through prayer and worship it is so good to be reminded that this is His work and not ours and that we need to be obedient to what He shows us and He will work it out.
The outreaches this semester have been a wonderful surprise. I love being involved in outreaches; going on them and being apart of them. When I came back to Siegen six weeks ago, after the Christmas break, I knew I wanted to go into the city but God continued to grow my heart in this area and for the people here more and more. And so, here we are, four weeks into the semester and God has been so faithful in leading the outreaches step by step. Praise God!
We have headed in at least every second Saturday now and God has lead people to pray for the outreach, provide for it in different ways, to come and play worship, to be on the streets praying for us, people to smile and hand out coffee and hotchocolate and others to share the gospel with those we meet. It has been such a joy to be part of and to see God working. It is nothing of me or anyone else who is apart of it but it is definetly all of Him. And I pray that we decrease and He increases more and more.
In partaking in these outreaches there comes trials and struggles, my pride and stubborness rage up, I can so often lean on my own strength and frustration and self can quickly grow. But God is so faithful to work on these areas and show me that with me nothing is possible but with him all things are possible.
I pray my reliance on myself, on my own worldly wisedom and knowledge fade away and that through the Word and the Spirit, God will furfill His promises in my life and continue His work in me.
I am so thankful for Gods grace and mercy through all of this.
I have and will make mistakes, do things wrong and fall short, but praise God that He takes the time and cares to draw us and lead us on the narrow path. He is quick to forgive and abounding in love and grace. This is a huge comfort to me and encourages me to continue to step out even though I will make mistakes but it is so exciting to learn from them and to learn more about Jesus along the way.
Though I miss my family back home so much, I am very thankful to be here and to be able to study His Word and to share it with others.
Thank you Father for all your promises and blessings.
For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2Corinthians12:10
God bless you as you draw near to Him,
Seek Him and He will be found.
Love,
Eimear
