"To live in a manner worthy of the Lord, so as to be fully pleasing, in every good work bearing fruit and growing in thE knowledge of God." -1 Col. 1:10That is the bible verse for this year's Youth for Christ Metro Manila Conference that I attendented this weekend in Tanay, Rizal. This is where all YFC's from Metro Manila to gather and celebrate with God. There are creative competitions like dance, band and chorale and sports competition like volleyball, basketball and Frisbee. There are also fun games for everyone. But the main reason for this celebration is to hear God's word and be inspired by other youths' stories.
This year is my fourth MetroCon, and I expected this year to be better than last year. And I was right. The speaker that night said, every year, we thought that this experience is the best, but as we continue to celebrate God's greatness, it's going to be better than ever.
The conference mainly talk about continuing the journey of us, YFCs to continually grow spiritually not just on ourselves, but to share God's love to others. The community held missions in remote areas like Benguet even in other Asian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. YFC believes that we are called to witness Christ to other people. and through the years, we continued to grow from goodness to greatness.
Lately, I've been praying to God for myself. I think its selfish that I only pray for myself. I've been praying to God to find myself, to find who I really am and what's my purpose. But I realized in this conference, I've realized that my purpose is in front of my eyes. Its my mission to spread God's word through the community and I prayed that night for God to guide me through this journey.
For others, their journey might have started already, but as for me, my mission just started. A brand new mission with a new purpose. And I've never been excited in my life for this Journey. ^^
