Straight to the truth (Written by Kobus)

  

The time we spent in Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia was the most difficult part of the year so far. Everybody asked why? It is a wonderful and beautiful city, with friendly people, lovely food and a vibrant atmosphere. Why? Well, there are several reasons why.

I was jealous because I wasn’t a part of the Thailand team. It was the country I was most excited to see, but then I stayed behind in KL. It was difficult, extremely difficult. Later on I realized that God chose me to be there and not Thailand; with this the green colour disappeared and I could focus on Malaysia.

The second and prime reason is the unveiling of my heart. The environment we worked in was extremely demanding. We worked in a School for underprivileged children in KL, helping with the classes, projects and all the small or less important things the teachers didn’t have time for. During this time I realized my motive for serving and how lazy I am. My motive was more self-centered and prideful. I leaned that serving should come from love, it is to it give my everything for others – it’s not about me!!! But the most important thing is I should do it for the One that created me, Who loves me, Who chose me, Who died for me.
 
If I look back I am ashamed of how I reacted but what I have learned is much more important. I am grateful for this vital lesson.
