Anger

I got shot down by someone yesterday saying that I was bias to certain people in my committee, and that it's not a good characteristic of a leader. Upon hearing that, naturally some -ahem- unkind words flew out of my mouth.

3 seconds later, I just felt guilty and went back to my room and 'emo'.

In this situation, what do you think Jesus will do?

Psalm 103:8,9 says "The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever."

And this is something we can learn from Him. When we are being criticized, just remember we are normal human beings. It's not totally wrong to be angry, but to hold a grudge and say hurtful words- is just a sign of being quick-tempered and it's just foolish.

Anyway, I'm off to forgive and forget.

In the silence

When God does not speak, I get scared. Do you? I feel like there are times in my life where I'm in a desert. God does not speak, does not do a thing. Scary? Yeah, extremely coz I feel like He has taken His favour and His anointing away from me.

Maybe or most likely God is asking us to wait, not for an answer or for something to happen but just wait. In that waiting there is trust and in that trust there will be a deepening of relationship. I believe that God is asking us to view silence in a different way.

However frustrating or discouraging it may be or how quiet or depressing it can get, silence may be a privilege. It will be a time of learning and maturing in Christ as we learn to wait. A revelation.

What does God want?

Often times, we cry to God in desperation but after we cry, we forget about God and live our lives like the problem has never happened before. Sometimes we even refuse to admit our need for God in our lives.

I believe that God wants from us more than anything is authentic, honest relationship. Our cries from our heart can initiate that kind of relationship and bring us to a new place of faith. We don't have to be in need to cry to God but make it a daily thing to just call upon His name, make it a cry of faith. Raw, honest faith.
