Last weekend in Mountain region, specifically in Calgary, we were able to witness our own RLC. This years anchor verse came from John 2:7 “Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.” I am so inspired and affirmed of the youth in our area, I can really see that they are learning to embrace their calling as leaders to whatever the Lord is leading them to do. He has truly filled us to the brim…. or has he? Is there a larger jar awaiting for us? More water to be poured? After a few days coming out of RLC, I continue to see myself reflecting on the verse and the many sessions that occurred. What strikes me is the infinite love our Lord showers us in whatever state or condition we are in. How He is able to work through us to help us take the next steps forward to the goal we are striving for. We wrote letters to our future-selves 5 years from now and to see that the youth are all aiming to grow in the Lord is just so affirming and exciting to witness. I couldn’t help but share that the water being poured is the many events CFC Youth has to offer and the jars are just like our hearts willing to get bigger and bigger. The one challenge I face is to allow the Lord to be poured into my heart. I wonder why am I so scared and guarded when our Lord is right next to us. I learned more and more about how much He loves me through regular confession and a protected prayer. I begin to let Him in. I hope through this our youth will begin to see the many miracles behind the scenes of their lives. God is our farmer and Jesus is our gardener, may the water poured into our jars grow.
Lord help me surrender my heart to you, may your love grow miracles and fill us to the brim.
