been a wonderful wk for me..not many blessings to share abt but words of advice or should i say correction from pple around..haha..seriously pple in church are much better with the way they give u advice compared to pple outside like those in the army or even the workplace..though it's sthg that they find me to be undesirable in some areas but the way they put it across is with grace,kindness and loving spirit that makes it all worthwhile to take seriously their advice..
it was a comment made by zewei tt causes me to think much more tt i'm not so teachable as i tot i am..in other words..there's an element of pride in me..haha..tt can be undesirable at times..though beforehand i didn't reali think so..but i guess God confirms it thru' him..i did rem God speaking to me sthg like dat few days ago only..initially i couldn't take it quite well man..haha..man's ego..what's wrong w me? i tot i 'm ok..haha..upon reflection..only then i realise that wat he said is not without its basis..think i've been thinking much abt achievements tt i've done for Christ..all e gwth i seen in my sheeps..getting e award..pioneered 2 airbases before..brought 10 souls to noe Him..keeping on thinking of such matters and comparing with pple around..
haha..had caused me to lose my perspective towards lfe n pple around..as i think more abt it..i'm actually only a servant of Christ..wat's so big deal abt wat i've achieved? there r bros n sis who had walked w God for many more years..God had used them and still using them in big ways..many ways..they dun seem to be affected by pride..want to boast abt it..hmm..frankly speaking..everyone of us is juz a vessel for God to work in us..tt's all abt it..Paul did not even boast abt his accomplishments but only his weaknessess..in fact he considers his strengths n talents to be rubbish..wat great humility he has!
wat ben shared struck me oso haha as usual..always sthg meditative abt wat he shared..not w bombastic or many words but juz plain english straight from e heart..carefully and well thought out..wow..reali a lot to learn from tis bro..i do feel remorse tt i've not been doing well in my studies but thx God..revised wisely for my 1st test tis wk..n got an A-..though it's an avg grade but at least better than e C i got e previous one..much better..all credits to God n e pple around like zw,ben and benglee..i'm juz so glad n grateful tt i've tis relationship w God and in tis family of His..when i feel prideful or lonely, God always send someone to talk to me, encourage me and spur me to move on with life..it's such commitment, faithfulness and love of God tt always amazes me time and time again these 4 yrs i walked with God..even now..
sometimes it's such unkind comments made that makes one slows down at wat he/she is doing and ponders abt life at large..re-align our perspective..makes some amendments before moving on to the next destination tt God has for us..with a few mths down the road..thanking the Almighty One and the bros and sis who had spoken the truth abt us in love..though their words are unkind,unwanted,undesirable,pricks our hearts but it's frank words abt who we are..e not-so-good sides of ours with some blemishes though externally we might seem/look alright..tt's love, rejoices with the truth. not jealous or boastful or proud or rude..
