Merry Christmas!
The word 'peace' is one the keywords that we get to see during Christmas season. I always thought that 'peace'occurs very frequently during Christmas because it is the ultimate wish of all human beings. However, this Christmas I have learnt to appreciate the word 'peaçe'from a slightly different angle, that the word 'peace'is not so much of a wish, but a proclamation.
"For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility..."Eph2:14a
Christmas is the celebration of Jesus'birth, His birth proclaims PEACE --- peace between God and man.
"that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them." 2 Cor 5:19a
Peace is the work of reconciliation.
Christians have the reconciled relatinship with God, they are committed with the message of reconciliation, and there's an eagerness for reconciliation work to be done in lives.

Camp DIY,followed by Malacca Trip mission trip followed by Church kids camp,That's 2weeks away from home. I need time to stop and reflect back the numerous lessons I have learnt through all these trips. I really loved all these trips that I get to participate. Many people may be busy with their Christmas shopping,clearing leaves, packing bags for holidays , I see people busy sowing seeds for God's kingdom during this Christmas season. It's simply hearwarming and encouraging.
I met new people and get to know people better during these trips. The people whom I met consists different age group, different walks of life, but all going all out to serve the mission. During the mission trip, I get to know people who are about the same age as me,and they too carry a heart of wanting to serve God, serve His people, serve His church. After adding them in facebook, I foud out that I have more common friends with them , they too participated in some form of Christian activities and they shared their testiomonies. My friends who form different slice of my life, as i see the whole picture, I'm in awe of God that He has moved so many people, that now many of my friends have the burden to want to reach out to the friends around them.
Although, the number of friends I have may not outnumber the number of friends who need the gospel, I know that God still has His sorverign control over His people.
