[" the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. wHo ? ]
Children ministry has a big impact on me. I did not realise it, that is not until i was told to give a testimony bout my work, my experience in sunday sch. that has given me an opportunity to sit down n ponder bout the time i spent in sun sch. wat have i learnt ? or wat have i gained ?
i made my decision to serve in sun sch was because of a pastor's message.
but i did worry too, since im not amicable with kids. i tend to find them very annoying, irritating and not adorable at all. everytime when my mom tells me ['oh, that little boy or little girl is so cute...so chubby. i will be like....... huh ? which part is cute ? yew...] ok. aiyah, let s not fret bout it. let everything works on its own way.
i've written bout how a little prayer had changed my work with the kids. yea... it was through this, i began to communicate with the children more. communication plays a significant role in developing friendship bonds. it is through communicating that i began to understand kids attitudes more. how peculiar, the irritating n annoying words, which i had them marked on most of the kids, are being erased slowly.
soon, i came to find that children can be a nice n entertaining companion. they talked a lot, but most of their words are very 'clean'. they dont talk like adults do, that is they mean what they say and will not beat around the bush to let u know something. although they may hurt us with their spontaneously spoken words, but it is alright somehow. sometimes, what they say may be true also.... hehe.
most of them have very funny characters. and this is what makes them as cute as ever. =)
these days i dont find children as a group of 'unwanted' people to be with.
cause they are the most 'special ' and 'beautiful' people in the community.
for it is written in Matthew 18 :
at that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, " who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" He called a little child n had him stand among them. and he said, "I tell u the truth, unless u changed n become like little children, u'll never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
now i finally understood this verse.
