Me being - Given the second chance

its not just an ordinary chance. its not an ordinary mistake also.

its when we sin and were forgiven by the Almighty.
and recently i'm starting to see how it feels to give people second chances as well.

on one side, most people judge others by their looks, i would say that its very natural to be like that.

and i admit to being one of them people who judge people on their looks, 'first impression'.
and sometimes that person ends up being the most laughed at person in that group.

but recently i've tried to give that person a fighting chance.
i talked to them and learned more about them.
and realised that they are not that bad after all.

God did say to love your neighbour like how you love yourself and i found out why.
its really pointless hating someone else. because hatred grows and thats what the evil one wants.

look at the world around you, is it easier to do wrong things than those that are right?
what is your wrong/right ratio?
you ever measured it? you ever thought about it?

if your answer's no i believe that its time to start reflecting on it.
i'm saying all this not because i'm perfect. because if you must know, i sin more than i follow as well.
God's there to forgive me, but will i take advantage of it? thats the question i ask myself everytime i'm struggling with sin.
therefore we all should look towards repentence.

If God loves you, why do you not want to love Him back.

Me being - Christian guy, holding on.

Its hard. very hard. with an environment like mine. everyone's cursing and swearing, its like a trend.

i dont go all the way to the cbs or the f's but still its not good.
what's inside is more deadly than the outside.

having bad language will just show how a rotten christian i am.
having bad thoughts is as bad as committing the thought itself.

last week till PoP. four more days.
holding on still.
i've been lazy, have not been journelling, not been doing quiet time.
really want to start again.
want to be good in His eyes.
want to be a good testimonial for Him.

so God i pray that there'll be someway for You to help me, rescue me from all this.
i really wanna be good in Your eyes, really want to quit these bad habits.

anyways it has been a enjoyable 6 weeks or BRT. i know that God's been there looking over me all this while and i thank Him.
to just know that He's there makes my heart happy.

just wanna focus on Him this 2 years.
