A couple of years back (or I'd like to think so...), when I was still in Royal Rangers, our commander illustrated something. She took out a blank piece of white A4 paper and later, used a black marker to draw a dot in the center of this paper.
Then she asked us, "What do you see?"
And I was wondering if was a trick question but I said anyway, "Black dot lor..."
But she told us to look closer and we looked closer and all we saw was just a BLACK DOT!!
Then she asked us this - Human beings are all like this piece of white paper. Question is why do we constantly MAGNIFY the small issues or bad habits in another person and so oblivious to see the wider aspect 'white area'... So simple moral and we take it for granted.
At many instances, I tend to jump into conclusions based on current situations and fail to see the better side of a person or the potential in a person. And there are times when I give people the benefit of the doubt and they continue to disappoint us. So how??
I can only ask for God's grace - to see them through His eyes.
And constantly & consciously point out to myself - who am I to judge anyone.
Crap! You know what God just said? - "Hold on! You'll be tested soon enough...."
Oh God, TEEM KAI???
The Calling
Another lesson from KLTI on Jonah -
We can be doing right things....but is it right?
Is what we are doing God's call?
Coincidentally, I've been thinking about the Junior Church Ministry and whether or not it is God's call for me to be in it.
And I've known it but I've never said it - It's not.
It would be something I can do but I know for sure it isn't what He wants me to do.
I'm still praying about what it is since it's just an inkling...
But I know it's not something I can run away from....which He reminded me in this week's lesson on Jonah.
How can you not be amazed at how He pieces everything together *sighssss*
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! XD
