This post is dedicated to my dear pastor and spiritual 'mother' Pastor Lai Ling. Although I respect Pastor Wilson as my dear pastor as well, who is wise, calm, balanced, visionary and preaches solid sermons, I have had the privilege to interact with Ps. Lai Ling more personally and experienced something of this wonderful woman's heart.
Ps. Lai Ling is one of the most godly women I know. A woman of prayer, she is also one of those who give consistently sharp prophetic words that really speak to the situation people are in. The many prophetic words she has given me have really helped me in the past 4 years to not give up, but press on toward what God has for me. [I'm sure God will give her lots of nice rewards in heaven, for edifiying me and many others].
A quality I really admire is her capacity to be sympathetic with everyone she ministers to and to hear them out [evident pastoral gifting and heart]. If anyone should be awarded 'best pastor/shepherd' prize, she should. Never a harsh word from her, though you will hear the serious comments and even the occasional rebuke. She is such an incredibly patient woman, and has shown me so much of that patience and love.
Ps Lai Ling is the one everyone goes to when they can't solve relational issues, or who can provide a listening ear, or who need sound advice delivered without ultimatums and pressure. Another quality I love about her is that she is not afraid to share some of the weaknesses or challenges she faces, though I am just a 'small fry'. Not very important and no where near her level.
She has always been there to pray and smile and hug me though she is so incredibly busy with her kids and ministry and husband and even RE teaching.
She is a leader who sticks with you through thick and thin, nurtures you and releases you to flourish and grow. Allows you to make mistakes, yet loves you through them all, and always speaks of hope and a future.
Thanks for being who you are Ps Lai Ling. "Your worth is far more than rubies". You are an example of a pastor that I will imitate and remember you for the rest of my life.
