“I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me.” -Philippians 4:13
This
verse still echoes in my mind. Looking back on my experiences last year in the
field during Filipino& American NT, I thought I’d already reached my
limit, that I couldn’t do more. But God reminded me with that verse I
wrote above. We have been here at AOT for a week now and the first day of
ministry has started. We walked 18km to
visit the contacts in different barangays and to do courtesy calls with the
Brgy. Captain. The best part of this experience is not only walking that far but
also walking under heavy rains up and down the hills from the camp to the
village and then back to camp again. I never imagined I could do it because I
know it is impossible. Yes, I am weak, my ability and capacity has limitations
but God’s power has no limitations and I should have never underestimated Him.
I learned to trust Him more, depend on Him and rely on Him for His grace is
sufficient and His power is made perfect in my weakness.
