Something triggered
my thoughts today. Say, a friend of mine is stumbled or jaded because of
something, and therefore jeopardizing their walk with God. Sometimes, or maybe
all the time, I used to blame all these people around him/her. I’m like, why
can’t you lead your life properly. Why can’t you stop being such a hypocrite. Why
can’t they this, why can’t they that. Why must you do this to my friend. Then I
realized, it’s nobody’s fault at all. Everybody has choices, and.. who am I to
blame anybody? Who am I to say who is not doing their job. I guess and I believe
God will judge eventually. We can choose to stumble, and we can also choose not
to be stumbled. Either ways, everybody’s responsible. Or nobody is. what a
fallen world. What a stupid thinking liting.
Maybe I’m too
critical about too many things. We learnt about being blameless yesterday. It struck
me that everybody’s standards are different although we all aim to have that of
God’s. For me, there’re totally some taboos and some lines I would never cross.
But for some people, it may not seem wrong to them at all. Then what do I do? Sometimes,
I don’t know. I just know I have to keep my stand, and not do the things that I’m
uncomfortable with. Or the things that will stumble me.
Random thought: My
fallenness pinned Jesus to the cross. But His power resurrected Him and saved
my life. It’s never about me, if it was, I’d be the one on the cross instead. And
talking about self-control.. yeah I need that. the marshmallow test is happening
every period of our lives…
