Don't forget to live!

I am a fan of work and productivity. Like many others, I have for a while fallen into the trap of thinking I can "safe the world" mentality in my life. By the grace of God, I am glad that it has changed now. Now, I leave the saving to God and focus on living and being faithful to HIM.

It is strange, if we live with the burden of the whole world upon us, it is even hard to safe ourselves. Let alone saving others! It was and is only Jesus who can do that, (save the whole world).

I am reminded that we are given a family so that we can live a family life. We are given a spouse so that we can happily live a married life. We are given children, so that we can share love and life with the ones who lean on you. There are many things that we forget in the agenda of busyness. I praise God for His grace upon my life!

Before carrying on with passion, stand still for a while to measure the cost on life and your loved ones. God works within the life that He had given us. He doesnt expect us to throw this life and look for one that is ...

May the grace of God be upon you as it has been on me.

What do you do when you are misunderstood?

Being misunderstood is common in relationships and it is always followed by clarification of your point so that you are not misunderstood anymore. But there are times when you dont care if the other person got you or not. In this case, we dont even bother to make any clarification. The other persons perception does not really matter to you so you just let it go.

On the other hand, there can be another scenario where you do care for the other person enough to want the person to think well of you and you wished that you could make clarifications to be at peace. Even when it looks easy enough, it can get complicated at times. What if sharing the truth(clarification) might actually cause more harm to the person. Sometimes it is like that, even though you can get out of the mess, it might mean more hurts or even trouble for the other person. Sometimes we love the other person enough to bite the bullet and be the bad guy for loves sake.

What hurts more? When the other person shares the ill informed fact about you to others and that makes you look even worst as a person to more people. Love or reputation? What do you do? I guess thats life, take a position and stick to it.

As for now, I rather God alone know all truth and that I might be found pleasing in HIS eyes alone. Learning to not bother about peoples opinion over you. Its hard!!!
