The 99th Day @ 5:11 PM
I actually thought of making this blog private..
Make it such that no one can read it..
But then, where would the meaning in that be?..
Well.. Sat in in Priscilla's CG today..
It was fun :D
What the BS was about..
I guess, God wants to teach me so much more :D
The BS was about "acceptable" sins
We are quick to condemn others, especially when we see sins that are "serious" and "unacceptable".
Back what we don't see, is that we ourselves commit sins..
In our own eyes, these are "small" and "acceptable" sins..
But is that really the case?..
We are angered by some sins, but we also turn a blind eye to others.
Such as..
Complaining and Arguing.
And WORRYING..
But the link between these.
When we commit these sins, we show ungratefulness to God.
We worry about what will happen tomorrow.
About what we should wear and what we should eat.
But in Matthew 6:34,
Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Everyday has enough troubles of its own.
There are sins that WE are tempted to see as 'okay'.
Like its okay to commit them once in a while.
Such as
Lying - White lies?
Giving excuses
Putting others before God
Writing down yourself?!?
But in God's eyes,
These are still sins.
He does not classify sins like humans do.
Sin is Sin
But that said, just because God forgive our sins,
It doesn't mean he accepts our sins.
Like fighting with your parents.
Maybe after an hour or two they forgive you,
But they don't want you to fight with them again right?
They forgive you because they care.
Eternal life begins the moment we say the sinner's pray,
It does not start once we 'die'.
With that said.
What i learned.
Bringing them out of the Christian context.
We tend to judge other people with our eyes and thoughts.
We think badly of them, we look down on them.
But we always do not look at ourselves first.
You could say like a person jumps to conclusions.
But then, think through it first.
Why would that person create his own conclusions?.
Was there a need?
One jumps to conclusions when they are unsure and uncertain of a few things
And these things are never answered by those around them..
So they end up making their own..
Well.. Writing down oneself.
When it was said earlier.
It hit me hard.
I always write down myself.
I tend to always say,
I don't look good, I'm stupid. blah blah blah..
I guess its cause i don't get praised a lot? ><.
I guess..
I care a lot cause.
I don't want people to feel the same way i do?.
I'm not saying no one cares.
But i just don't feel the care.
I mean.
When I'm sad,
People tell me
"Cheer up :D"
And after awhile, i do.
But people take for granted, the fact that nothing much was done?.
The thought counts.
But in the end, those were still just words..
I don't see anyone going an extra mile to cheer others up not just myself.
I guess, people should just really try to put themselves in other peoples shoes.
And try to understand their feelings..
Sigh..
I just remembered a verse..
I guess its time to continue on the path that has already been marked out for me
But has yet to be created..
