Get hugs of your own
Pardon me for ripping COMPLETELY of someone else's post.
blame it on the lazy streak in me.
time to pen down my own thoughts as well.
3 months of internship is going to come to an end soon.
Just waking up everyday for work is starting to bore me.
but what to do?
we need to earn a living.
However, how we want to make full use of our time
is our own business.
Since we all HAVE to work, why not use
the time to edify others?
For eg, I was just sharing trivial issues like my
school bidding woes with my work buddy
and how I committed to God for a smooth bidding process.
I just hope through my words and actions,
I become the salt of the earth and light of the world.
When I saw how others just living their lives aimlessly,
it saddens me that they are oblivious to ONE FACT.
the fact that there is a divine being up there who is
CONCERNED about them and LOVES them
wholeheartedly and who wants nothing but the BEST
for them.
Time flies and I will be starting my third year in SMU.
gotta start planning how I want to make full use
of the remaining years.
last night i was just thinking about friendships and stuff… and i wondered, (i quote myself) “how well do you truly know someone, even if there’s daily communication?”. i may or may not have talked about this before, but it’s so true. even with communication, how much you know about the other party is dependent on his (being generic here) willingness to share.
simply put, you may be communicating daily, but you won’t know about issues unless he chooses to open up and share. even if you talk 24/7, you only about 50% of who he truly is, if he chooses only to show 50%.
and then i had this ‘wow Jesus’ moment. you know when you come before the Lord, He is willing to show you who He truly is. He is willing to show all 100% of Himself, except our finite minds cannot fully take away all 100%. Jesus doesn’t play hard to get. come on, God gave us the Bible so that we can know ALL about Him! how different God is from Man!
i conclude that… as Man, we always have a defense wall up, knowingly or unknowingly. that’s because we are afraid of getting hurt. we are afraid that once others know our 100%, we become vulnerable. but it’s the OPPOSITE with Jesus. when He shows us His 100%, He is refreshed and strong! just like in the story where Jesus met the Samaritan woman by the well. He was thirsty and tired, but when He gave to the woman, His spirit was renewed!
just as Jesus is 100% with us, we can be 100% with Him. because the price has been paid, there is now therefore no condemnation. we can come as we are to Him (:
* pictures in the post have absolutely no link, except to serve the purpose of adding colors and cheer.
on a completely different note, i have grown to like the show Dating Agency Cyrano. in my previous post i mentioned i was completely not impressed with it, but once i got past episode 8, i realized there are many tiny details in the show that add up to the mystery of the entire story-line. not too bad a show, but nothing beats rooftop prince
