Just how many times do we accuse someone else of a crime that we ourselves are guilty of.
No humans are perfect. Perhaps it's time for all of us to sit down and think it thru. Before we accuse someone else of it, sit and think about it ourselves... did we do it?
I'm not saying this in a condemning way but one where we seek to understand that no one is perfect, including ourselves.
When we realise that we are guilty, and it's GOD GRACE that covers it all, you won't even ever have the heart to be angry with someone else's mistakes. Who don't make mistakes? you? bullocks...
Recently i've asking God "why showed me all these things when no one takes it seriously?"
"why allowed things to happen before my eyes and render me helpless to it all?"
"Why do i find that it's hard to share what you showed me..."
"AND HOW THE HECK DO I DO AWAY WITH FAMILIARITY!
Just as i thought that God was not going to answer or that i'm going to like realise it "one day"... This man of God just shared with me this personal walk with God. "It's very easy to get judgemental because you are able to discern so much and you begin to realise that you are accurate. Rightly divide. Hate the sin, love the sinner."
And i went on to ask has he ever felt that no one seem to understand and hears him, and he said "if you are married, do you shared about your sex life explicitly with others? even if you want to, you find it difficult do you? The revelations and things God show u is because of that intimate relationship you share with him... *long pause* and those who understands you truely knows you.."
He went on to expound the bible and taught me things..
Both of us had a good laugh over the rest of the whole conversation and came to a conclusion of how our meeting is definitely divinely arranged. As he never had the "feel" to impart and teach his God-given-ability to expound the bible, godly principles, etc... He felt nudge by God to teach and impart to me in whatever way God is going to use him to.. If this is not favour, what is.. And i have questions that i never had answers to, are all answered by him even before i told him.. this definitely takes God...
One thing i've learned. If i don't response to his invitation, he won't have persist (yes, i will learn) and i won't learn so much.. Recognising the due honour God has given to a man and you will be able to receive what God can give you thru this person. And he said that it applys to all man.. big or small, with titles or not.. give weight to the words of the man who is appointed by God.. *reminded me of a past entry..
Praise Jesus for such a wonderful man of God who is willing to call me his brother. Thank God for the honour and privilege. Learning more and more..
Oh.. i've drifted.. haha.. back to the "original" topic.. yea.. Feeling powerless to stop things i see happening... and especially sad when people get too complacent with the things around and with themselves.. "aiya, i'm like that one la.. hard to change.."
It's no wonder that you are still the same.. you worked so hard at confessing it!
It's God who change you not you.. why put yourselves in the picture?
Really.. I can't over-emphasize this any further.. God died for us all and someone else's mistakes are paid for too.. At least give God the respect...
It's a fine line dividing being judgemental and being perceptive and discerning. The first needs no explanation... and that the latter is smeared ALL OVER with grace.. We looked beyond the mistake (recognise it of course) and (tough) love (that INVOLVES correction, not all the time, neither should it be most times) the person into transformation. So what if i'm right and i have somethings to say? I love you more than i care about being right.
Corrections need elements that can only be GOD given.. Favour, widsom and Qara (right timing).. Sometimes doing the right thing ain't doing the right thing.. it's doing the right thing at the right time.. so what if i'm right?
By now (end of this entry) if you haven't realise. I'm committing the crime of accusing someone else with that crime i'm guilty of... maybe that's why blog shouldn't be taken too seriously upon unless you read it in the light of grace (not in self-righteousness or self-condemnation). =P
P.S. This entry is not directed to anyone or any current issues.. If you feel threaten, disturbed, provoked, irritated or feeling "why-you-talk-about-me" mood.. then you are insecure. =P
Cool.. just kidding.. =) Jesus died for me also hor..
