Is Ablaze a success?

First of all,
I would like to thank the Ablaze committee for their untiring love for Jesus :)

I have been thinking about this question since last saturday Ablaze Rally: is Ablaze a success? have we done great?

But then God reminded me through the words of our beloved Mother Theresa

"We are not called to be successful, but rather, to be faithful".

This world wants success, but our Lord who has called to serve, wants faithfulness. And this is the reason to rejoice: all the sacrifices, which we have made in order to be faithful for what we have been called to.

Have we been faithful then? Well, I guess we have tried. There are mistakes here and there, but we have tried. We have tried to be faithful in little things, in coming to intercessory every week, in cleaning up the canteen after the event, in coming early for the preparation, in doing more than we are supposed to do, in forgiving when mistakes happened, in trying to be self-giving rather then self-seeking, in putting Jesus at the centre of our event, and in many other little things that we can do out of Love for Jesus.

I thank all the service team for their faithfulness to Jesus and to his Church.

Some people say that true love comes with sacrifices.

And I thank you for your sacrifices, May God bless you all.

"Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:11-13)

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness," (Gal 5:22)

"His master said to him, `Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.'" (Mat 5:21)
