.His Mercy is New everY mornInG.
Buaya week has just ended. A good one this year?I would say it is a good one. Maybe it's because of experience, or maybe it's because of familiarity, somehow, things are done much more efficient on my side. No late nights till 5 am doing buaya week stuff. Definitely no big projects that cost me my lectures and tutorials. I feel that I need to give my buayees a good buaya week. I understand how it feels to have a lousy buaya and a lousy buayee. These 3 years have been fruitful and memorable. Something that will never leave me. Love all my buayas and buayees lots lots!!!Will be posting up the pics soon!!
So, what's next?Hmmm...
I'm down with cold now. Midterm break comes at the right time. At least I have some times to recover properly.
The topic of forgiveness popped up yesterday. We were talking about values that we hold dear while journeying through our life. Mine was accountability to God. Somehow, I need to learn how to forgive and forget. In a way, ignoring someone/people is one of my way of protecting myself against further hurt and humiliation and preventing myself to inflict further damaged on the other party. I guess the effect is too great that I deemed certain things unworthy. But, will the awkwardness go away? Will we ever speak to one another again?Well, life goes on isn't it?
We moved on with our life. Too busy to care for one another. Too lazy to make an effort to show that we care. Laziness is another thing that I need to change. This year buaya week's closing inevitably brought my mind back to last year closing. One sentence to describe it all ; Things change, and it will never be the same.
As I was typing the previous paragraph, something popped up in my mind. I don't bother to spend effort coz it is unworthy. But, my Saviour did. He sat and eat with the lowest of the lowest member of society in His time - tax collectors, prostitutes, lepers. He loves them with all His heart. Although His chosen people, Israel, continues to hurt Him, disappoint Him and angered Him, He still cares for them and continuously deliver them from danger. What a love!!!As I reflect on this fact, I shrinked. Yes. My Saviour is so great that only through Him, I can love the way He did. How did one recover from previous hurt and damaged inflicted?By love. Agape Love.
