title: forgiveness
If you know what I am thinking...
I will "ta-han" hahahaha. forgiveness is the first beatitude that is about our relationship with the people around us. We need to be big people with big heart.
That's why.. "some people need some more time to hope for a glimpse of some change for some period of time."
It is about making choices:
make good choices = good consequences
make bad choices = bad consequences.
And being responsible is about paying the consequence for the choices we make in life. Noone is perfect. so we will make mistakes. And when mistakes are made, sometimes it affects not just yourself but the people around you. And you need to own up to it and apologize or maybe you feel you are the victim side, then you need to forgive.
And it will happen. cos life, somethings just happens. and when it does. you gotta choose your responses.
That's why. sometimes. I will ta-han. but if it crosses tipping point. I will not ta-han. And if I dun remember wrongly I only lose my temper twice in my whole life as in explosion effect kind. my word will tear the person apart and literally break the soul of the person apart. And after I did that. I regretted cos it crossed the point of no return. the person... hmmmm.. was in bad shape. pretty bad. And I learnt my lesson.
That's why we need to learn from life lessons and remember them. Not in guilt and shame, but a reminder of whatever we do, we do it with faith, hope and love.
maturity is about taking responsibility even at times, it is not your fault. Seriously.. if you tell me you are Jesus-wannabe. You got to do what He did for us on the cross. not like hang up there, but the prayer He said, "forgave them for they do not know what they are doing."
However, many a times, we know that we did something wrong. But we choose otherwise and it will result in our conscious being eroded by the world value system of "its alright la." then when you need to give an account to Jesus before you gain access to heaven, you have no other choice but to be truthful. too bad. made a wrong move. bye.
Think about it. that' why we gotta live life in fear and trembling. not those bad kinds but positive ones that will keep you away from hurting people and hurting yourself and your relationship with God. I believe in forgiveness, but mercy is at God's hand. I believe in apologizing, but conviction is between you and God. Noone can help you. You gotta to make that choice.
Reminder: bad response leads to bad attitude, that leads to a series of bad choices in life, that leads to unfulfilled destiny, that leads to F9 in your life on earth at the end of the day. God is a good God. He gives you time to change but if you dun want to.. and people warned you about it and you just refuses, den you "take care"
Hahahaha. That's why think before you do anything. You dun want to regret after that. Cos a person's attitude determines his/her altitude. You may think you are right, but maybe you are wrong.
That's why if you play the blame game. you are gamed to lose. But if you play the "ta-han" game, you are gamed to win. beat it! :D
