I am so blessed to know the importance of focusing on good things. There is a saying," The dog will keep barking but the moon will still shine." How true is that. In life, one can really not please everyone. As long as you think that what you did is right, the rest does not matter. Edifying others is one crucial role of this blog. What you focus expands. Ever wondered how many thoughts run through you mind each day? 60,000 thoughts. Imagine if you will to focus on good things and let you mind dwell on the good things in life, the things you have in life and be grateful of it. Then majority of your 60,000 thoughts will be occupied. Vice versa, if you will to think of negative things and bad side towards things, then your thoughts will be wasted on dwelling on wrong things. Think of things you want to happen. Think of things that make you happy. Think of things that make you feel good. What you think is what you speak and what you speak is what you do. Praise the Lord. Amen. 0 Blessed Comments

This post is dedicated to someone whom the Lord has instructed me to post. Not that I want to do this. But He sent too many signs to urge me to post. First is the sermons I listen. Almost all the sermons I listen after that day, all mentioned about unforgiveness. If this is not enough, even the book I read also talked about that. THerefore, here it goes. A person who only know how to forgive and love someone by the extent of the understanding of how God loves and forgives us. If one protray God as one who is unforgiving and hard who wants to take revenge on your sake, and not wanting you to forgive the person, then there will never be a blessing set upon the one. He wants to bless you with things you want. But if you refuse to let go and let God, He cannot do that. Not that He does not want, but He cannot. Letting go unforgiveness is letting God take over the situation to bless you. By not doing so, you are only holding God back. Mutuality is the heart of fellowship, building reciprocal relationships, sharing responsibilites, and helping each other. As what Paul said," I want us to help each other with the faith we have. Your faith will hellp me, and my faith will help you". God warns,"Never hold grudges" because bitterness and resentment always destroy fellowship. The Bible says." You must make allowance for each other's faults and forgive the person who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others". You can make a choice to use energy and emotions for retaliation or for resolution. You cannot do both. Forgiveness is letting go of the past and trust has to do with future behaviour. Forgiveness must be immediate whether or not the person asks for it, but trust has to be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive the person instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to allow them to hurt you. They must prove that they have changed over time. The best place to restore trust is in an environment of encouragement and support. This shall be the end of the message from God to you. Praise the Lord for His mercy and loving kindness. Additional reference to bible: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=colossians%203&version=31 1 Blessed Comments

I came across a very touching story that teaches one to understand someone then to condemn them. Oh I need it so much. Every too often I still fall into this trap. Let's share this touching story. Don't blame me if u tear. Hehee. Its a lengthy one though but worth your time reading. FATHER FORGETS W. Livingston Larned Listen, son: I am saying this as you lie asleep, one little paw crumpled under you cheek and the blond curls stickily wet on your damp forehead. I have stolen into your room alone. Just a few minutes ago, as I sat reading my paper in the library, a stifling wave of remorse swept over me. Guiltily, I came to your bedside. There are things I was thinking, son: I had been cross to you. I scolded you as you were dressing for school because you gave your face merely a dab with a towel. I took you to task for not cleaning your shoes. I called out angrily when you threw some of your things on the floor. At breakfast I found fault too. You spilled things. You gulped down your food. You put your elbows on the table. You spread butter too thick on your bread. And as you started off to play and I made for my train, you turned and waved a hand and called, " Goodbye, Daddy!" and I frowned, and said in reply, " Hold your shoulders back!" Then it began all over again in the late afternoon. As I came up the road I spied you, down on your knees playing marbles. There were holes in your stockings.I humiliated you before your boyfriends by scolding you that stockings are expensive and if you would buy them you would be careful. Imagine that, son, from a father! Do you remember than when I was reading in the library, how you came in timidly, with a sort of timid look in your eyes? When I glanced up over my paper, impatient at the interruption, you hesitated at the door. "What is it that you want?" I snapped. You said nothing, but ran acoross in a plunge, and threw your arms around my neck and kissed me, and your small arms tightened with an affection that God had set blooming in your heart that even neglect could not wither. And then you were gone, pattering up the stairs. Well, son, it was shortly afterwards that my paper slipped from my hands and a terrible sickening fear came upon me. What has habit been doing to me? The habit of finding fault, of reprimanding- this was reward to you for being a boy. It was not that I did not love you: I expected too much of youth. Abd there was so much that was good and fine and true in your character. The little heart of you was as big as the dawn itself over the wide hills. THis was shown by your spontaneous impulse to rush in an dkiss me good night. Nothing else matters tonight, son. I have come to your bedside in the darkneww, and I have knelt there, ashamed! It is a feeble atonement; I know you would not understand these things if I told them to you during your waking hours. But tomorrow I will be a real daddy! I will chum with you, and suffer when you suffer and laugh when you laugh. I will bite my tongue when impatient words come. I will keep saying as if it were a ritual;" He is nothing but a boy- a little boy" I am afraid I have visualised you as a man. Yet as I See you now, son, crumpled and weary in your cot, I see that you are still a baby. Yesterday you will in your mother's arm,, your hear on her shoulder. I have asked too much, too much. 2 Blessed Comments

Ever asked yourself what on earth are you here for? What is the purpose of life? Is it just to survive? Is it just to get married and have kids? Is it just to find a job? If you have not asked this questions, its time to ask them. Without a purpose in life, life is meaningless. You don't know why are you up for, just because the alarm clock wakes you? Or because you have something you have to accomplish? I never really thought of this question until I came across the book " Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. It is a book which you have to take 40 days to complete, reading only one precious chapter each day. I felt lost upon reading the cover page. What on earth am I here for? Seriously, when I thought through, I realised I do not know what I want in life. What is my calling in life? Is the things I doing leading me to the calling? Until someone gave me an answer. It is about Joseph in the bible whom gone through all the sufferings in order to be the 2nd highest authority in Eygpt. He only knew his calling is to save the people in his hometown alive. Its only when he accomplished something then he realised his calling. WHich means to say, until I accomplish something, I may not know my calling in life. 0 Blessed Comments

Finally exams are over, so here I am back to blogger to my wonderful readers. Sorry to make you people click over at my blog to find no updates. Well, back to the topic I like to share my thought about. Somehow, I find it so easy to fall into judging someone. I myself still trying to do less of that, compared to the past I would say is much lesser. Nevertheless, I still do so at times. Ever come across a situation when you are purchasing some stuff at supermarkets and the staff there pull a sulky face to serve you? Then in your heart you thought how rude they can be and so impolite, aunties are aunties... (or something similar?) Oh ok, maybe you all don't, only me. Well, last time I used to hate that, and by thinking all the above stuff I am kinda of judging them. But I realised that if I will to think in their perspective having to serve so many hundreds of customers doing the same thing, I too will have that kind of feeling. So one way for me to not judge a person too fast is to put myself into the person's shoes. To say is easy, but when you are really meeting such situations you would really take a while to really change your mindset and react the self controlled way- thank the cashier despite the bad service. Every too often we judge things, be it based on appearance or be it hearsay. Certain anchors are planted into one's mind if rumour is strong enough. Indeed, this habit is constantly appearing in my life and I am sure most of you. Like when you happen to talk to someone and behind your mind, you might already analysis what a person this person is and so and so. But then again, when we think of how come the behaviour of the person different from us mostly like due to environmental influence. Different people have different environments and we cannot expect them to have the same thinking at the start. Judging someone is what almost everyone almost subconsciously do. I felt that instead of judging someone, should change to understanding someone by their behaviour. And this, require a skill. Judge not if you don't want to be judge. 0 Blessed Comments
