What is the spiritual highlight of your migration?
I experienced the Lord’s sovereign arrangement in a very practical way. Even though my situation did not turn out to my preference and liking, I still felt that the saints that I became related with were sovereign of the Lord. I was down emotionally and spiritually, but the saints provided a supply and shepherding care. Also, there happened to be a need in the locality (YP work), and I learned that no matter how bad I felt my spiritual condition was that week, each time I came to the meeting I found myself feeling useful and needed (as the saints were burdened to have more young adults in the church, as well as younger serving ones for the young people).
Serving others is nice, because it takes us out of what we’re going through and focuses us on other people. Great to hear your experience.
