A small seed, A little yeast
Friday, April 9, 2010
Compromise, a slow subtle but lethal poison.Was eating dinner with my friends today, and when the bill came, and we split the cost, I found out something was missing on the bill. A little $1.30 more. I took a quick glance around and saw the eyes of my friends, keeping in their laughter, happy with their gain. But I did it. I pointed out the missing $1.30, anticipating the response from my friends, pointing out my stupidity.But say, it's just a small sum yea, but it's an issue of honesty. My friend said to me, "You know, sometimes, you don't have to be so honest". But it's equivalent to saying, "sometimes, it's ok to overlook sin" or "it's ok to sin sometimes". A little compromise leads us to deeper sin. It tarnishes our conscience and after awhile, doing it doesn't prick our conscience anymore.Sometimes, or usually, we tend to overlook the small things as unnecessary to do right. A small act of honouring one's parents, words of appreciation and affirmation, and other small acts of violation to God's principles. but as according to God, small sin, big sin, still sin. As much as we're indefinite sinners, we still gotta make our lives as much as we can, a God-honouring life. Godliness is both a dependence on God's strength and grace, as well as our own responsibility and activity to be a part of. Make a choice, make life right.And hahaha, thanks for so many the concern folks, for all your reply to my previous post about me being a fren. What I mean by me lacking a companionship, is trying to find someone of similar depth in thoughts. Because as many a times I stated I'm a deep thinker, but I gotta say, that many of my deep thoughts surpasses the depth of common deep thinkers themselves. I call myself a deep thinker not because I think a lot, but because I think in depth greatly. And with this comes a lot of great insights many people do not see, or understand when I talk of them. (sure some of you might shoot me with a issue of subjectivity of my "wisdom")And thus, I'm searching for someone, a friendship which I can experience mutual support and growth. Someone which can bring me to greater heights. Not that I look down on any other relationship. Through every bond and friendship regardless of maturity status, I learn the struggles of ppl, I learn how to communicate, I learn to reaffirm and to express my thoughts, I learn things i might have missed out, I learn things I may hav seen wrongly.And all these insights, I attribute them back to God. He has been my personal tutor and given me great insights, much that the world has missed out on, and I thank Him. It is not by my intellect (as I used to think so) but God that gives me all these 'wisdom' ^^ to God be the glory.And oh, I need a mentor... =PLabels: frenz, God, Me, thoughts

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am, for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Philosophy:
I like to think about life, especially pursuing on the concept of love. Not that lovey dovey romantic kind, but the affections we have for one another
that ties us together,strangers, friends, besties, family, that's the love I wanna know about. Love is the essence of life that ties us together,
love is what we were made for and to be, love is embracing the gift of the relationship with GOD.
