Bitter reality can be better

These past 2 months of reality had unfold way too many ugly truths about life, that this world is made up of all sorts of people, wolves in sheep's clothing. Regardless of how good one may appear to be, it's always best to take that friendship slower & get to know that someone better, lest you get disappointed.

But this is what life is made up of.. you go through it, you experience it, you get bitten, and you learn.

I thank God for bringing me through this phase of life. Although it's not a pleasing experience, yet it taught me not to lay in my innocence to trust someone so easily. It made me careful in choosing the friends that I should mix with & knowing who my true friends are. Also, it taught me to be a stronger person, braver to voice out my own opinion and not follow unrighteous judgments.

Thank God for good friends that encouraged me during this time and of course His word that had never failed me. I learnt that it's difficult to change people, even though your intentions may be pure. Rather than harboring anger, the best way is to try to change yourself. We can not control what people do, but we can control what we do.

There was a quote that caught my attention recently - Life is God's gift to us. What we do is our gift to God.

Made me question my actions. Is my anger my gift to God? I wouldn't want to give my anger & unforgiveness to God.

It really requires a lot of God's strength to go through this. Because I know His strength is perfect & that it is possible to get rid of all bitterness and anger as the Bible says so.. I trust that I can break free from it.

People won't get better.. we'll meet the same kind of people or worse kind of people. This kind of circumstances won't change over time, only we can choose to change ourselves.

I am reminded that God loves them just as much as He loves me. If He's got plans in our lives to change us to be more like Him, then surely He has plans in their lives to change them too... that the measure of our relationship with God is by our relationship with people He put in our lives.

We can not say that we are close to God but we don't love the people around us.

So I'll force myself to do the right thing regardless of how much I hate to do it.. at the end it's for good.
