Love Your Enemies!
This has got to be the hardest commandment of the Bible I find hard to obey, even till today. Was talking to UG on the way back home and the Lord reminded me of my often less than ideal responses towards some people in particular.
God knows how many times I've failed to smile at people, but instead wrinkled my nose at the crying baby on the bus while the mother struggled helplessly. Oh, how many times I've just wished I had hands long enough to slap the person over the end of the line, or bite my tongue just to avoid sacarsm from my lips.
Its hard to love people at times. Am I being plain unemotional? I hope not. As a pretty emotional person myself, it is extremely easy for me to like someone or vice versa.
This has gotta be dangerous..this shortfall of mine may jolly turn into some curse and worse still, have negative effects on the people around me. Perhaps this boils down to the feelings of injustice and igdinance within me. Whatever it is, it is time to do something about it.
As the Lord reveals the area(s) in my life that I need to act upon, I pray that his guidance will see me through. Indeed, I have come to see this customer service job that I hold now as a journey towards transformation
love,

hey i been secretly reading ur blog..haha no lah ...jsut chance upon....
well, hmmm... there are certain time when you really need to be angry; when your faith is challenge or twarted and when other faith is challenge or twarted. be angry to the devil and not the one who is going to be saved by God...
I agree.. Jesus was angry Himself too at the tax collectors buying and selling in the synagogue.. rememebr?? I guess if you're angry at the things that make God angry than that's okay. But if for personal self-righteousness, than that would be wrong. :)
Remember you were once a vessel of wrath....
