Hey guys,

isn't it true that people are not forgiving others, bearing grudges and trying to get back at them at times? But remember what God said, what reward is there if all you do is just loving someone that loved you? However, if you still love someone who have done something that hurts you, there will be a reward. Remember, its not as though you keep offering your other cheek to others to hurt you, but still love them as though how Jesus loves you, for God is the one who will punish those who harm you in the end. So guys, lets just be forgiving and constantly love each other. Be it you're a christian or not, I just hope that we can learn to forgive others and put down whatever grudges that you're holding on to. We have only one life, and time doesn't wait for us. SO it's up to you whether you want to live a life filled with happiness, or a life filled with grudges, sadness, and anger. I just pray that we will live this one life meaningfully and with joy. :)

There is a God that truly loves you and have a good plan for you life. He have left his comfort zone and died on the cross for you. I just pray that you would accept His love, and love him back. No matter what difficult circumstances that you are going through, this God is there for you and He will always love you and solve your problems if you are willing to open up your heart to him. Trust me, it will be something that you will never regret if you are willing to make that decision to accept His love on the cross. Just remember this at all times, Jesus loves you. (:

Learn to Forgive

hi everyone!!

 

its my first time blogging(:

sorry but part of my post will be in chinese(:

hope you guys can still understand!!

 

复活节和受难节才刚过不久。

在那个星期天的讲道当中,我教会的牧师,说了让我感触良多的信息.

 

(Luke 23:34)

父啊!赦免他们!应为他们所做的,他们不晓得。

 

I hear of a story:

 

Once, a guy who was a gangster was invited to go to a church. When he went there, he was touched by God’s love and decided to baptize and become a Christian. However, when Pastor submerged his body into the water, he left his hands un-submerged. He held it up high so that it is left untouched by the water. He then told the pastor “I can fully commit my whole body to Christ but please leave my hands untouched. After I revenge, those who have done wrong to me, then a will submerge my hands into the water. For now, my whole body can be committed but not my both hands.

 

I felt that sometimes even Christians are like that. Many others are like that. They just cannot forgive people who have done them wrong. Myself too. When someone makes me angry, I feel so agitated that I want to get back. If not I won’t feel happy. But this is not the right way. And I was really touched.

 

Jesus died on the cross for us sinners. He had to suffer SO much. The whips, the mocks, the saliva, many many things. He did nothing wrong to deserve this but yet, He is doing these cause of us. He even asked God to forgive us as He died on the Cross for us. We caused him to have such pain and suffering but yet, He is pleading for us to be saved. We should be like Him.

 

From then on, I made a promise to myself that I will forgive people. Have a merciful heart and forgiving heart just like our Father. I want to be like Him. He loved us so much. I hope you guys will understand this post.and hopefully you guys will learn to LOVE UR ENEMIES(:

 

I know its hard. But with God, Through God, everything can be done. Faith.trust.

 

P.S. try smiling to ur enemies tmr! It may have a great impact on ur life, and it may change ur life too(:

 

May God Bless Everyone!
