u know recently i've been talking to alot of people and i realised one thing. words are the most powerful tool that we can use, either to build someone up or to tear them down completely. therefore, from now on i shall be more sparing on my words towards others, especially my friends. i guess its good to start learning how to bring forth the truth in a gentle manner such that the message gets across but still feel good about it. for example, instead of saying "lan ren", perhaps we can say something like "i forgive u cuz u're my friend." i do understand that whatever i say here will definitely be used against me and when i use the phrase above it will also be deemed as insincere but trust me, i mean it. heh
not trying to be a saint or anything but i do want my friends to feel special around me and since u guys are really special, u deserve the encouragement from me. however, it is also true that if i keep on using positive terms, it'll lose its impact and in the long run, there won't be any credibility to whatever i'm saying. so then, it might be better to direct negative words to a general statement like "u suck" to "sucks".
been talking to God alot about having a relationship with a non christian girl. obviously i know his reply but i still tried to continue on whatever i'm doing. i still dunno the outcome of it but He told me to consecrate myself and that includes sanctification. through talking to my cg bout it plus morning devotions and sunday service, the message from God is clear. there are boundaries in life that i should not try to step into especially for areas that i am most vulnerable at. things will never work out if its not in sync with God. u might feel as though God is unfair but i beg to differ. after walking with Him for more than 5 years, there is not once that He failed me and if not for Him, i'll probably still be a weirdo that no one will want to hang out with. from the sermon, pastor alvin mentioned that salvation is not a transportation but transformation. believing in God does not just bring u to heaven but the key thing is about changing u into somebody more Christ like. more christ like referring to the attributes of God, love joy peace self control etc.. bascially the fruits of the spirit. at times, u find it unfair and question y God is trying to stop me from doing stuff that i like. think of it this way, God knows the future and only He knows. if He sees me walking towards a dead end, obviously He will try to stop me. even if its not a dead end, how bout walking from point A to B. if in between the journey there's a pot of gold, he'll probably ask me to make a detour to get it before continuing my journey so i can have a better life.
that's the beauty of being a christian. out life is in good hands. even when things are not smooth, there'll always be a way out because that's a promise from God. when He is with us, who can be against us.
