Learning about being Patient

Today read an awesome article in e-mail,send from one of my patient.It goes:

BE PATIENT
This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck.. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bonesshed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, "Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide. Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

Spirit to rule over emotions

I remember when i was a younger christian,a lot of things i had been so unsure.Example BGR, i always think how come the people around me seem to take relationship casually-like getting attach and then break up so easily.Is love not real?
However I thank God i have great spiritual leader who always guides me.I asked her so is it ok to just get into a relationship so easily,since the people around me also got bf or gf? She taught me that though we are in this world but not of this world,and our body is a temple of God, so do not do anything that upset the Holy Spirit in us.
Of course true love still does exist, but just make sure that we do always stay accountable to our leaders,they know what is best for us.Also Joshua Harris once mentioned that our parents are also the best judgement for our partner in life!
Sometime our feelings and emotions may seem to overwhelm us when we liked a person, but i believe to walk in the spirit,God doesn't provide us a partner but he can direct and lead us. He has a purpose for the singles,for us to build up responsibility by serving Him. That we may also hold the responsibility to build a family,bring up our child. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths(prov3:6).
I felt is important to have someone that is able to lead in the relationship,loving,committed, caring and loving God wholeheartedly,someone whom i can relate to and praying together in all circumstances.

My Sustainability

Some people viewed me as a strong,spiritual,joyful person.Yet there are times i felt helpless,weak, and depressed.If not for my leader Zhen that ever told us that we don't have to appear so strong on the outside,i could have bottled up all the feelings and hurts le.Sometime you know is ok to cry whenever we feel down?Yeah my kind of habit to just mumble and tell God whatever i feel unfair in lives,how i spoke to Him whenever I felt mistreated by the ward staffs:P

Sometime is true that the criticism of people can just make you so miserable, felt inadequate and unloved!But God always tell me:

  • Fear not for I am with you,do not be afraid for i am your God.
  • I did not give you a Spirit of fear But of Power, of Love, of sound mind.
  • With Me You can run against the troop,leap over the wall.
  • I that is in you is greater than he who is in this world
  • When You are weak,I am strong
  • Be of good cheer,for I had overcame the world
  • I have given you authority to trample over all serpents and scorpions
  • Look on to Jesus,the author and finisher of your faith
  • You can do all things through Christ who strenghtens you
  • The Joy of the Lord is your strength
  • No weapons formed against you shall prosper

and many more promises that He had given!I am thankful to the Holy Spirit who is my comforter,my counsellor,my advocate,and my friend.

Zhenn also once shared whenever you are at you lowest and darkest period,this is where your breakthrough will come!So people out there DON'T EVER GIVE UP ON HOPE! You never know your breakthrough might be just near ya!=)
