well, a test to see whether I can adapt to this, but anyway…. I wanna share with you guys of a little incident i encountered on a saturday afternoon. Which was 2 days ago, and i was riding the train to town. (For service of course)
There are two parts to this whole incident…
Because recently i realised that i have been rather hot-tempered, one small little action that displeases me can make me furious, and my mind starts to think of nonsensical and sinful thoughts.
And during the train ride, I knew i had to start speaking to God and I asked myself questions.
so overall I realise this very important lesson.. whatever that i’ve been going through, the hurt, the pain, the suffering, the anger the sins. I kept asking God, why can’t i overcome this things? Why must i have them?
But the thing is, God wasn’t the one that gave me anger, he wasn’t the one that gave me pain, he wasn’t the one that give me sins. And please JunJie, have you forgotten that to suffer was your own choice? As the saying goes “pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional” It was the thoughts in my head that caused this, aka myself.
so i learnt that what causes us to sin, was our mind. Devil tempts, devil doesn’t make you sin. It was your mind that tells you to sin. For me when i was angry, i chose to think about the incidents more when i know it will make me anger more when i could have chose to forgive and forget. I chose to make myself more angry and sin. If i could diverse my thoughts to God rather than the incident, it wouldn’t had happened. Just like another good example, while doing assignments, you are tempted to play games. If you focus your thoughts so much on the game rather than on God and your assignments you will eventually start playing games.
SO PEOPLE, LEARN THIS YOUR MIND IS STRONGER THAN YOUR BODY. WHEN YOU BODY IS TEMPTED, FOCUS YOUR MIND ON WHAT’S MORE IMPORTANT AND ON GOD!
(Take me to the top)
