The biggest event in our country for 2013 has ended. We thank God that the GE13 was conducted smoothly and without any trouble. With the election of our leaders, we do pray that God would enable them to lead and guide our country with good governance, integrity and unity. On our part we are called to carry out our democratic responsibilities of being stewards of the things that God brings upon us. Each of us needs to do our part to make our country a country that pleases God and man.

The greatest commandment in the bible is to love our Lord with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. We are also commanded to love our neighbor as ourselves. In this issue we are looking forward towards post GE13. Much is needed in country especially towards reconciliation and justice. There are many issues facing our country and our church specifically. God’s love for this country causes us to love others as well. 

One of the last recorded prayers of Jesus ended with these words, “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them”. This is taken from John 17:25-26. Let us be the answer to His prayer to God our Father. We are called to make Him known and be the bearers of God’s love for our people in Malaysia. The work has not ended and much still needs to be done.
