Had dinner last night with a church friend whom I got to know recently. It was a really good one. I was thinking at first that it would be one which I would be doing most of the talking and ministering to him. But it turned out otherwise. He did most of the talking, and though he was not intending to minister to me, he actually did it most of the time.
He had been born again for about a year and attending church since. But his values and beliefs showed otherwise. He seemed to have been a Christian for a long time. I found myself listening in to whatever he said cos they really spoke to me. His simple approach to life, his faith in God, together with other virtues really impressed me. It's like God is reminding me all over again that "Hey Christian life doesn't have to be so difficult and complicated."
Even though his interests and hobbies differ greatly from mine, I felt for the first time they seemed to give me a different view to life and things. All these coming from a twenty one year old! I quickly had to change my attitude of 'come, let me teach or impart to you a thing or two' to 'wow, I am really learning a lot from you'. Well, I guess it's more of being reminded than learning new stuff. It's refreshing (and at the same time convicting) to hear someone speak his beliefs and faith about things I once very much believed it. Think I would wanna spend more time with him in the future. :)
