A simple life?

What am i hiding from? What am i covering up which makes me unable to open up myself and share stuff? This question poped up in my mind after sharing today in church. If colin had asked me to go for this sharing last time i would definitly not go but somehow had the thought of juz going there with an open mind and if i don't like it i would just tell him straight and not go anymore. Now having second thoughts about that. Seriously used to think that this youth group are somewhat fake and have the wrong intentions of setting up this group. I haven't really changed my mind since this is just my first time but i'm having doubts now. Oso tot about someting. Sometimes i see this person and i think wah he's juz putting up a front, faking. But how can i tell unless i'm one myself or had been one myself? Just like lets say you are a pro in recognising fish breeds, the moment u see one u can tell the breed straight away. So if u are a pro faker or had been one u sure can recognise another. I might be wrong though. And if u are faking now u might have think this person damm fake or if u had been one u might tink how what is he hiding from and y? How can i help him be his true self again? Its gona be damm hard. Self-realisation. Pain. Sadness. This secular world we cannot run away but what can we do to live Godly lifes? Go to church every sunday? Go for all this sharing? Go join a church group? I duno. We all have to choose but show me the choices.

Its good to have some company when we are down.
When we are not down, its also good to lift others up.

Meekness Misunderstood

In modern thinking, meekness is not a coveted quality, while there is hardly a characteristic which better distinguishes Christianity. Meekness to many means spinelessness, lack of courage or strength. It is the opposite. Most of the precious promises of the Scripture are to the the meek.

We like to think, "Blessed are the strong, the shrewd, those who stand up for their rights, those who refuse to be taken advantage of; those who always look out for slights those who strike it rich and make a success." We gave a tendency to set high value on self-assertion. The natural standpoint is that a strong person is one who not only does what he wills, but also bends others to do his will.

Meekness is not native to the natural soil of the heart. It is not a natural disposition or psychological makeup. It grows in the garden of the Holy Spirit. Meekess is meant to characterize every Christian regardless of temperament.

Meekness has a twofold expression. Toward God, it issues in complete trust and submission to God. Meekness is to be mastered by the will of God. It results in gentleness, consideration, courtesy. It is strength under control. Meekness is the character of the one who has the power to retaliate, yet remains kind. It is from such a spirit that the expression gentle-man or gentleman arises.

Meekness is an attitude toward God which manifests itself in gentleness toward others. It is an attitude of submission and yieldedness to God which results in the harnessing of our strength in godly ways toward our fellow man. It is love which seeks first not its own, but the things of God and others. The meek accept God's will and dealings without sulking, murmuring, rebellion, or resistence.

Went for my medical checkup yesterday. Was surprised as to how it turned out. Was expecting damm screwed up treatment from the MO. Was expecting to shiver in the cold air con room with juz our underwear on. BUT! It was totally different. MOST were polite and how to say respectful. Its really the attitude of others and ourselves man. Most of the time u don't gl ppl, ppl dun gl u back. But sometimes of course u will get gled no matter how polite u are. Well, like that we juz gotta give them the respect they deserve. Everything really went smoothly. This 17 year old kinda big sized guy was in our sort of group. One look could straight away tell he's a beng. And upon taking off our shirts wasnt surprised to see dragons. But, he is one of the most polite and gentle beng i've seen. Smiling. Humble. Friendly. Really hoped the MO didn't give him a hard time. After everything the MO told me i'm in PES B. Well whatever God gives me i'll take it and i can't thank Him enough for yesterday.

Has God deserted Heaven,
And left it up to you,
To judge if this or that is right,
And what each one should do?

I think He's still in business,
And knows when to yield the rod,
So when you're judging others,
Just remember, you're not---God.
