There are times in life where you have to learn life lessons…
TO FORGIVE AND FORGET
It’s probably the hardest thing that we all have to do. Easier said then done. We all find it hard to do. It totally goes against our fleshy nature to hate, to keep our pride, to be unforgiving… just shows how we have fallen short of God’s glory… as my friend told me ” That’s why we all still need grace”… friends (and note to self), we all have been forgiven by God and we ourselves are the biggest ones that NEEDS forgiveness… so why not start by forgiving others just like how we have been forgiven ? food for thought.
TO LOVE
There can be a billion things that people can give to define this word. To start things out, we all speak a different love language. By words of affirmation, by physical touch, by gifts, by acts of service or even by spending quality time. Everyone has a different perception of how love is to them. One thing I’ve learnt, learn the different love languages that people speak and that will help express our love better, to our family, friends, and the ones we don’t know. Sometimes we care, but we don’t know how to show. So here is a good place to start.
FRIENDSHIPS
Superficial or deep, there are many levels to define friendships. We’d all like to think that we have the latter type of friendship. But somehow sometimes it doesnt always turn out that way does it ? Relationships break down and friendships fall apart sometimes not because its meant to be, but because we tend to be selfish in the end. We think of ourselves more than the value placed on our friendships. Don’t get me wrong here, some friendships are not meant to be good for us and all that, but I’m talking about the ones that can work but fail to, because of something that we can change. Sometimes, friendships don’t even start, because we form prejudgements of each other. Like it or not, you’d be a saint if you have never ever judged a book by its cover. Sometimes our prejudgements of others can really ruin friendships that are already there or not even there yet. Sometimes its silly isn’t it ? When we look back together, and laugh and the time where we thought this person was “too blonde”, “too nerdy”, “too proud” or of a different color or race, but in the end, end up as best friends…So never ever let ur prejudgements destroy friendships and relationships…Take it from one of the two greatest commandments as God has given us, “Love others as you love yourself“.
By writing all these things, it’s not that I’m not guilty of doing all these wrong things, but its because I am guilty of it. I;m writing these things so that you would not make the same mistakes as I have. I apologize if I’ve failed to forgive and forget, failed to show you that I love you, and failed to make our friendship grow better or even if I’ve failed to know you better. I’m only human living by the grace of God.
I love you and Jesus loves you too.
Have a wonderful day (:
