14-15 October 2013 I came to U-Nite, U-nite was a retreat for university student (actually not just for student, so many adult there), and the theme was The Life. there's have 4 sessions and all of the session talking about Joseph's life (Genesis 37- Genesis 45)
I want to share about my experience during U-Nite..
On the first session, PA’s illustration was about “baggage” and PA was
preaching about wounds. When PA preaching it, my wounds (guilty, regret)
like opened (again--actually my wounds already opened when Mission
Project in Papua, but I thought it was finished). I had some bad feeling
because of my past and I always carried the feelings as my "baggage". I
tried to control my mind and I prayed. My prayers were I want to know
God deeper, and want to know what God wants. When I pray my heart like
broken and my prayer change become “Lord, I’m forgiven, right?” I felt
I really hate my self because I am a sinner and I did a sin that affect
(the most) me now. I thought that I already resolve that feeling
because I already admit, confess and repent before God. At that time I
knew that I’m forgiven but I still have the feeling and I didn’t know
why.
On the 2nd and 3rd session my focuses still want to know God
Deeper and know God’s want. But i didn’t get it. I asked God that I need
be lead by Holy Spirit and HS always lead me to remember my past,
remember my sin that I did. WHY God? I don’t want to mention it again,
it’s done right? After that it become my struggle and I become a confuse
person.
On the last session, God’s exactly answered my struggle
thru’ the PA’s preaching. PA’s introduction was about addicted to drugs,
and to be honest, I was a drugs addict... Oh NO! PA just wants to
preaching it to me >< (that was my feeling) and than all of the
preaching on the last session exactly tell about my life.
And from the last session I know that:
1. My lingering sins affect important relationship. The most important
relationship is my relationship with God. The sins still in my lives and
my relationship with God can easily being distracted by the sins.
2. I live in worldly sorrow not Godly sorrow (2 Corinthians 7:10 is a difference between Godly sorrow and worldly sorrow)
3. God shows me his kindness in many different ways.
Finally I know, God wants me to fix my relationship with him, and also
wants purify my heart from any wounds. He taught me to take
responsibility of my sins and also accept the painful experience of my
life by faith.
even though my struggle have been answered, I still
have the struggle/ the wounds, but I know what should I do to handle it,
so that I can keep my covenant relationship with God.
