Another thought for the day
1 Thessalonians 4:1-8
Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more. 2 For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 and that no man transgress and defraud his brother in the matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you. 7 For God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in sanctification. 8 So, he who rejects this is not rejecting man but the God who gives His Holy Spirit to you.

Thought for the day
Jesus said to him, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!" John 21:22
thinking thru
Well, today have some issues going on with one bro.... my fault for not doing a good job with some stuff.... Well, he gave some constructive comments. At the same time, he ask how I feel and stuff... He say that i should honestly tell him if got any issue etc cos he said that I have the tendancy to suppress my feelings... At first i didn't think much and i just said ya... but now after thinking through, i really don't think i am that sort of person.
I don't know why there are some people who say that I suppress my feelings... Well, maybe that is because they don't really know me I guess? I am the type to just said things out as how i see it. Used to be really frank... but cos there is a tendency to hurt others, so now normally watch what I say... but I still do it with as much as frankness as possible... Feelings etc.... I just feel that well, there isn't much things to suppress anyway. (1)Always review whether what that person's comment was true. (2) If it was true, then just change... (3) If not, just tell the person that what they say isn't true. If you know that person is a bigot or someone with deaf ears, I will probably won't even be bothered to tell them that their view of me is wrong. I feel that God will change their views one day. Honestly, sometimes I will be hurt... So I tend to pray about it, talk to some people abt it etc. Anyways, if its not true, I tend not to dwell on it, esp if it is hurting. I used to dwell on it, but i find that it is useless to dwell on it, so I learn and still learning to just let it go and instead to continue to face God and let Him heal the hurt and also help me focus on the more important things.
May be it is just that i usually don't have intense feelings... I tend to have mild feelings with regards to everything unless that is something that is seriously important etc... haha... oh wells
I dunno why there are some people who say that I suppress my feelings, cos I don't. Period.
