Will He use me, despite my failings?
Will I be able to use His gifts
For the glory of His kingdom
For the ministry to His people
Still?

Availability... ability...

Been mulling over some issues...
Thought about them, made decisions about them, unmade them.
Beat myself up about the resolutions that would never be kept...

Finally, I realised I shouldn't even try to think about the what-ifs or the perhaps...
Just leave it be - no expectation, no disappointment.

It's liberating.

Verbal assualt is more hurtful than physical ones. 1 negative remark takes about 6 positive ones to even it out.

Why belittle people? Why criticise others? To elevate oneself?

There is life outside. There is a family behind every home. Everyone deserves positive remarks.

Catch people doing the right thing.

Was reading my very early posts just now, realised there were some changes, in the things I shared about, in my thoughts and opinions.

I think I have temporarily lost sight of Him. Lost my joy and peace.

Have not lost my faith yet, for I know in whom I believe, and why...

I would love to remove myself from the humdrum of things and take off .
For a holiday. For a while. Just some personal space...

When I do, I will be able to feel myself and get in touch with myself again.

When I do, I will find that on my return, more work had been piled up than what would have been the normal load, had I not removed myself from the humdrum at all...

Yeah, it sucks.

Yup, as I expected....

All the resolutions are going straight out of the window.

Truly a case of "the Spirit is willing but......." ??

Making a right decision does not necessary mean one feels any better about it.
Sometimes, it's with a heavy heart, especially when the decision goes against the wish or desire of the decision maker.

One contemplates the consequences of one's decisions. The action / the inaction...

Then, even though the decision has been made, there comes a day when the decision maker is tested, by circumstances, by inevitability.

Why do we make things so difficult for ourselves?

"Love is not an affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained." -- C. S. L

This was lifted from a friend's 'status' on facebook. The quote is from CS Lewis.

Pretty accurate, in my opinion.

Guess this kind of confirms what I should do..

Recently I had devotion led by a pastor. Learnt something from the Lord.

He said... deep inside the person knows what he should or should not do. But instead of obeying, he resisted, and that is dishonouring God.

Wow.. I have never thought of it that way. Not just disobedience, but dishonour....

Then he said that when he counseled that person, he told him to "kill the passion"....

Is it that easy?

Is not important now. I know the answer to my own question... Stupid really, on my part, to want to hear the answer when I knew what it'd be..

My bad... Sorry.
