Elizabeth Lee (CG-Wong Li Soong, PJN4)
Liew Sook Ling & Elizabeth Lee1. What is one most important spiritual lesson I have learnt?
I believe the one statement which struck my heart and has been ringing in my mind ever since is this, ‘God has never shamed you in front of anyone’. I have listened to sermons and read books which talk about the different things that God has done for me, but not once have I been told that God has never shamed me.
This is a very powerful revelation to me because there have been too many times when I do not even deserve to carry Christ’s name (then again, who is?) and He has never done anything to shame me. Instead, all He has ever done is love me unconditionally and eternally.
2. What has transacted between you and God this weekend?
God has brought me back to the moment I first fell in love with Him, and it was such a wonderful feeling that I wished it wouldn’t end, that I could wake up every day feeling His love in such a powerful way.
3. How did you feel before and after the Encounter Weekend?
Honestly, I was not looking forward to the Weekend. I felt that it was just something that I had to go through in order to become a member so that I could serve in DUMC. I didn’t expect God to touch me so powerfully, simply because I have attended a couple of church camps recently and I wasn’t touched. So perhaps my expectations were pretty non-existent this time round.
But of course, God proved me wrong. He reminded me of my first love, and He challenged me to turn my life around and live more seriously as a Christian for Him. I have not been challenged like this in a while and it felt good to be brought back to the basics.
4. Why should others attend the Encounter Weekend?
Simple. One will definitely encounter God there, whether or not one is prepared, looking forward to it, or not expecting anything. It is a very refreshing time and a weekend away is definitely what most of us need to reflect on our lives and make a change for the better.
