I would like to share 2 verses from Colossians 3:23-24. The Apostle Paul wrote, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” He was writing to the slaves of his days for whom it was hard to throw their soul into the work. He reminded them that they were not working for men but for God.

He had indeed grown taller and much more matured, but that winsome smile and unsuppressed enthusiasm of his had not changed over the years. Memories of my early years teaching in Bukit Ho Swee Secondary School came back, overwhelmingly, and once again, I was in the little canteen sitting across a young lad of 14, with his head bowed in prayer as he asked Jesus to come into his heart…

The year was 1974.
