The Beauty of Forgiveness...

I love this brother of mine...
In the past... It used to be because he just seems soo perfect... 190 and above, charismatic, brilliant, rich, sensitive, love God, love man.... Now... I've got to know more about him... i remember telling miss darrell before that "hey.. i realised that he is not that impressive after all..."
true... when i said that, it was probably because i really dunno him... he was indeed not very impressive... so wad if he is 190 and above... the height strains your neck... so what if he is charismatic... as time goes by, not that charismatic after all... or the passion dies... rich... who cares? sensitive... ok... that i admit is important.. but he is not always sensitive... (though most of the time he is...:P)... love God... love man... as i learn more about these, i love him more...

"My dear sihui, your fight is not tomorrow... it is for life... God has set a higher purpose for you. One that should put your trial tomorrow into perspective... " "Aways have that higher purpose in mind. The evil one will throw all sorts of nonsense our way. Your godly duty as a student is to set your eyes on Jesus and ask yourself what he would do. Would he angst over results or performance? Or trust that his duty is to gain the favor of God, not man." --- A msg from him before my block test.
He teaches with God in mind... and he wants me to learn with Daddy in mind...

The beauty of forgiveness.. Ever since i got to know slightly more about his past... I do not deny the fact that i was affected... Ke li knows about that... she knows how much i love him, and how highly i regard him as my brother... no words could explained how i felt (i don't think it is because my vocab is limited..).. this brother reminded me that is was because of his mistakes, of his past, that Jesus died, He truly loves us...

He shared about his past.... He wanted to teach... He wanted to impact the lives of others... He was teaching with God in mind... He truly loves his students... And i've grown to love this brother a lot because of this... God has forgiven him... who are we as humans to form opinions of a man who truly acknowledges his mistakes? God loves him... i will not dare to say all of us would love him like before anymore... but i love him... love him even more than before... love him because God uses him to love me... because God uses him to remind me that God loves me... God forgave my sins the way He forgave my brother...

The beauty of forgiveness... Forgiveness comes love and acceptance...

When Jesus died on the cross.. It must have been difficuly... He knew people would hurled insults at Him... He knew people would laughed at Him... But for the sake of those He loves, He went up to the cross with His outstretched arm and said "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing" Jesus forgave me the day He choses to die... He choose to love and accept me... It must have been soo painful... But He loves me...

The beauty of forgiveness... This brother taught me... And he reminded me... God loves and accepts me....
