When I was younger, I always looked forward towards Good Friday as it was a public holiday, therefore, no school.

I still look forward towards Good Friday now, albeit with an additional reason. I give thanks for Jesus, who died on the Cross for me and my sins.

Today's event I felt was a success. It was not how many people who came and received Christ but how much we can give to them. I saw my brothers and sisters actively walking out of the comfort zone and trying to make small talk amongst the friends we brought, taking the effort to make every single one feel welcome.

At that moment, I felt God standing next to me saying, "You've all grown up." I guessed so too.

I was always afraid of sharing the gospel, in fact to mention the name of Jesus in front of my friends is like a taboo. I was very afraid that they may reject violently to this 2-syllabus name and from that moment on, they will not be my friends. Even when i invite them for church activities, I try to say it in a roundabout indifferent way, just to minimise the "impact".

But after being in Church for so long, I think it is time for me to stop being a slave to the world. I placed my faith in God and when friends asked me about my church family, I went all out to share with them, thanking God right in front of them.

And i realised it wasn't that nightmarish after all. In fact, i think it cemented the friendships!

No one said that being a Christian or sharing about Christ is going to be lauded or easy but really, God is a nice man. If you are obedient towards Him, He'll help you in ways you cannot imagine. All we have to do is stop giving excuses, it's difficult but not impossible. Hehe =)
