Lesson Learned ,






I was sitting on a bench right in front of the bookstore
A malay woman was sitting next to me , embracing a little baby .
She kept coaxing the baby boy and i was reading my devotions

Her baby trailer fell down ,
Apparently she was quite hard to pick it up as she was carrying a baby in one hand
Damn , i was HESITATING then a woman came and helped her to pick it up
I was ashamed .
I cursed at myself : PEGGY , YOU'RE SUCH A JERK !
i just simply couldn't forgive myself
so i prayed .
asked for forgiveness and help
If time reversed , i'm surely going to help her immediately .

Then the chance came ,
her milk bottle dropped and rolled to me .
I picked it up immediately and gave her a smile .
That really made me felt much more better .
Sometimes you really need courage to do good deeds
though you know it's a virtue to be helpful
I have to stop thinking in that way 
It blocks and keep me away from good deeds
what an evil .  

i THANK GOD for listening to my prayers and realized it
For HE gave me a great lesson today

Repent on the mistakes you do , ask for forgiveness , trying to accept the jerk u were , make a change .

The Impossible .



'Everything seems impossible until it's done '
we once felt hopeless , grieved , distressed .
wondering where's God
asked again and again
what did i do to deserve this ?

God loves you .
He always has , He always will .

God knows that we don't learn His ways or grow unless He gets our attention .
Growth requires concentration and determination .
It's a fight to move forward ,
with every inch of ground contested .
The more relaxed we become in our relationship to the world ,
the more we buy into the illusion that we can pursue God at an easy jog ,
without any bumps in the road ,
without any looming rainstorms ,
without any stumbles .
 
The only thing that teaches one life is about -the joy of understanding ,
the joy of coming in contact with what life really signifies --- is suffering , affliction .

God doesn't love chastising us , but He loves what he sees at the end of the process :
children who are ''perfect and complete , lacking nothing '' . 
So He administers His tough love ,
and He does it with all the gentleness possible in order to drive home instructions vital to our spiritual growth.
Consider the words of the prophet Jeremiah :

Though He causes grief ,
Yet he will show compassion
According to the multitude of His mercies ,
For He does not afflict willingly,
Nor grieve the children of men .
                           ---- LAMENTATION 3:32-33


                                                                            taken from 'God loves you' written by Dr.David Jeremiah
                 

Nothing is impossible , the word itself says :"I'm possible ! ''
