There's always a fine line between willingness & reluctant to be taught.
This sentence sounds weird but I can't really put it into words now.
Realised that my volcabulary is getting worse lately.
Maybe I should start reading up more or I'll use the bulk of what I've learnt, though not much. Heh.

Yup. Back to the topic.
Who do we really impart our skills and knowledge to?
Do we pay more attention to those who press in?
Or are we supposed to be always spoon-feeding them?

I guess I'd choose to do the first.
We often realise that the people who learnt the most and grow the most are those who have a willingness to learn. Not just that, but a willingness to press in.
When they press in, it makes all the teaching much easier.
They'll be the ones who call you when they need help, when they have questions, when they are lost.
To those who think they have known enough and has no need to check or ask anyone anything, they are the ones who'll often suffer.
There's never an end or a limit to how much we can learn.
Like someone ever said, there's no end to learning and of coz the famous saying, huo dao lao xue dao lao.

Sometimes, it can get so frustrating when we try to teach, challenge and impart stuffs to someone who is not really interested. Its like banging your head on the wall. Or just throwing a tennis ball against a wall.
It simply bounce back and hit you hard. Real hard.
They want to grow, they want to learn. But, there's a missing factor.

I'm in the process of discovering that factor.
What's the thing that will spur them to press in and ask?
Or what will cause them to ask you?

I've learnt along the way that some people whom you think are not worth teaching, because of whatever preception you have of them initially, may turn out to be the most teachable people you ever known. They may not know much, but with a humble spirit, they are always willing to press in and reach out for more. How can you not give this kind of people a chance?
Even the woman with the issue of blood pressed in to Jesus.
She reached out, she touched the hem of His garment. And with faith, she believed and she got what she wanted.

Is there anywhere in the Bible that says that we can sit by, watch and blessings and knowledge will come our way. Not that I can remember.
Whoever wants to get something has always got to step out, reach out and take hold of what you want. And those people are never forgotten. They always succeed.

Have you pressed in lately?
Or are you still waiting to be fed?

It's time to Arise!!

And coincidentally, it's Arise & Build this weekend.
I'm so excited.. Coz I know God is gonna do something extraordinary in my life once again.
Thank You God, for having the chance to give to Your Kingdom's purpose!

Lead me, Holy Spirit! :)
