The world is imperfect. The people in it too. In church, sometimes, we expect more from people because we expect religious people to be able to see more and do more. However, it is untrue at times. I stood at expo with my crutch and noone was offering any help. I sat down near the toilet on the floor. ALONE...! Poor thing?
Then God told me the reason that why I felt alone and not really cared for is because of my expectations of people to be considerate and caring. However, it is so far from the truth. People are inherently selfish and can do kind stuff only when they are filled with love, a pure love from God.
Then He made me realised how imperfect this church was but He was still using it. When Pastor Khong's family shared about their struggles and I realised that they were struggling too. They are imperfect family. Pastor Khong is also an imperfect man, an imperfect father. He pretty much grew up with the problem of having an absent father who died when Pastor Khong was at an early age. Then his kids also had an absent father in the sense that Pastor Khong had to travel much. The church and ministry also had little of their spiritual father.
What does all these means? It meant that FCBC lacks in fatherhood, which has been how it had been for a while. Pastor Khong is managing to find his way around fatherhood, figuring along as he grows in this area. That is why many people in FCBC leave because they feel there is more to church than all these things we do. I do agree there are times to move on and there are times to stay put.
However, the key is this: Even imperfect, what is my choice? Or rather, what is God's best choice for me?
I know he has a plan for me in FCBC. I will serve Him and love the imperfect chuch. In the meantime, I will look for a father, a mentor, a brother to walk this journey, to run this race with me...! Even so, all is not perfect. Just take it as it comes...! In His time, He makes all things beautiful!
It's the same with any place. Imperfection is everywhere. 1 things I know is this! Be like David. Recognise that the leader is God's elect and God's elite. What we do is pray for them and serve them because it it God's will. Likewise, in any organization, there will be leaders that are imperfect but God has placed them there. We live our lives the way God has intended in this imperfect world...!
