The PERFECT age/ time to serve.
Saturday, August 13, 2011
There was this little boy named Andrew. He was 6 years old.
One day, her teacher said, "Nobody is too young to serve."
Andrew felt that she could do something. So he told his mummy.
A- "Mummy, I want to serve God!"
Mummy- "Darling, you are too young. What can a K2 boy like you do? Serve when you have grown up."
A- "Okay, Mummy."
Andrew grew up, he entered primary school.
Teacher- "Andrew, would you like to serve?"
A- "No teacher! I need to get used to primary school."
Andrew moved on to secondary school.
Teacher- "Andrew, would you like to serve?"
A- "No teacher! I am taking O' Levels. I am too busy. I've got no time."
Andrew scored well and entered a Junior College.
Teacher- "Andrew, would you like to serve?"
A- "No teacher! I need to prepare for A' Levels! It's very tough. I've got no time. I am not ready to serve. Wait till I grow up."
Andrew had to serve National Service.
Teacher- "Andrew, would you like to serve?"
A- "But but but teacher, I don't know when can I book out. It's difficult for me to confirm. I don't think I want to even try."
Andrew proceeded on to university and then to working life.
FINALLY, he is officially an adult.
Teacher- "Andrew, would you like to serve?"
A- "No teacher! I need to work till wee hours in the morning! I am very very busy. I've got no time to serve. Let the others do it."
Andrew got married and had kids with his wife.
Teacher- "Andrew, would you like to serve?"
A- "No teacher! I've got no time! Can't you see? I have to take care of my young children!"
Finally, Andrew was 67 years old.
Teacher- "Andrew, would you like to serve?"
A- "Teacher, I would love to. But I am too old. I no longer have any energy to serve."
And he passed away at 68 years old.
Brothers& Sisters, when is the perfect age and perfect time to serve God?
When will you ever be "free"?
May God touch your heart today.
You need only be available to God. The rest, ask and it will be given to you.
There is no perfect time or age to serve. It all depends on your heart. Listen to God's voice. May He fill you with the desire today, this moment.
-Amen.
