lesson learnt. @ 8/17/2007 11:14:00 AM
good morning eveyone!though it's a very good morning to sleep in=Di've the sudden urge to post something about what i've learnt=)
here i go...
i met up with dad yesterday for lunch.
and the one thing that really speaks to me is, " i feel that relationship is hindering our growth." and "wisdom is not primarily knowing the truth, although it certainly includes that; it is actually the skill of living it out."
this is not the exact word dad used, but the meaning is somehow there.
i always understand that relationship is the toughest problem on earth.
didn't did i expect it will somehow hinder one person's growth - emotionally, physically, spritially and mentally's terms.
we can easily impress people from a distance. if we can just manage to put our best foot forward for a short time, we can give strangers a really good (thought maybe not accurate) impression about who we are.
friends and family are different. they know us close and personal. they see us, they know our strengths and weaknesses and all. they love us despite our ugly qualities, but no way are we going to fool them.
loving in truth and actions. love is all about being selfless.
* my additions and some of it was inspire by a section of Jesus Bible - xtraodinary, but true.
--> all the more you shouldn't upset, hurt the love ones around you!
love not neccessarily is like always receive the soft, gentle reminders - and nothing is done to it.
sometimes love can be in the harsh way, scolding, spanking - and you get something out of it=)
growth = process of growing; increasing; to become mature.mature = fully developed in body and mind; pertaining to or characteristic of full development.
this paragrah speaks to me, in a way it made me reflect much.quoted from the message, James 1:2-4,
consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. you know that under pressure, your faith life is forced into the open and shows its true colours. so don't try to get out of anything prematurely. let it do its work so you become mature and well developed, not deficient in any way.
--> yes! when we faced problem, do we shrink back? or do we faced it boldly?
how we handle things and situations show a lot of you.
whether are you matured? or are you just a little weakling?
in order to grow, we learn! - did i mentioned something like that before in my recent post? =)
in order to mature = get out of our comfort zone and look things differently, in different perpectives.
knowing many things, a lot of things i should say - in terms of knowledge, it's useless!
it's the application that does the wonders=)
the living it out!!!
oh well, after reading this post. i somehow don't know how to link them up.it's just what i feel like sharing=) opps.
