*Day 28* Seeing the TRUTH about yourself ♥

wow... thats really fast.. we are at the end of this week's relationship principle again!! :) its amazing how fast time flies.. and soon its the dreaded EXAMS!!! haha kk i dunno why i wrote dat. i think cos my brain has been fried by the first aid workshop yesterday..

anyway, even as i was reading today's chapter, i was wondering what i could share.. cos its so straight forward. its so true, its easy to follow.. all it takes is that little bit of time and effor that you place to get all the pondering and seeking done..

anyhow, BEFORE u guys look at the picture below, i want u guys to read this first.. the first person to decipher it and put on d tagboard.. gets... ... ... [ok. who am i kidding? all of you looked at it straight away b4 even reading the rest.] anyhow, i created dis lil picture below..


what is the first thing that stood out to you when you saw the picture? i'm quite sure all ur answers will be "I" the super mega huge "I"... *if it differed for anyone of u pls let me know. may needa book u in for a session wif our psychologist aletheia.* jkinjkin..

ok.. serious stuff.. revealing the answer.. its.. "I have sinned, I am forgiven"

one thing that striked me the most is that while trying to understand "I have sinned, I am forgiven" and trying to show mercy, its most difficult to not judge the "should have known better" person.. i must say i have first hand experience with this.. its often too easy to expect much more from the person. to raise the standard higher for certain people. and when people don't meet the expectation, when people fail you, when people don't do what is required, its so easy to get upset with them. to judge them and say he "should have known better" than to do this or that..

but as i look back on that picture.. and see the big "I" that was right at the top.. and it struck me.. everything is about me. it is MY standard, it is when people fail ME.. when people don't meet MY requirement.. oh my... sound like such a selfish paragragh. urgh.. but as a matter of fact, yes.. it is very selfish..

and then i realise i need to replace all the I, MY and ME with God! we need to see things with God's standard. when we try to reach an expectation, it should be God's expectation for us.. you fail no one else besdies God when you don't accomplish what HE has in plan for u.. and it goes the same for other people..

all these brings me back to the same point.. that We all have sinned, and We all have been forgiven by God's grace, by God's perfect plan for us.. How about adding on to yesterday's chapter about letting God be the final judge, and really start learning how to understand the "I" test at the top and let God's grace and mercy flow out through us to others! My God is the creator. He is the planner. He is the author. He is the teacher. He is the social worker. He is the judge. etc etc..

have a good time reflecting on the last section of today's chapter guys.. i really urge u guys to spend some time over this weekend to reflect on that.. good stuff..

keep repeating the following to yourself today.. "I have sinned, I am forgiven" :) see u guys in serivce!
