Inception
Watched Inception yesterday. Nice movie. The producer of the movie must have analysed his/her dreams very well... and it's kinda amazing how people come up with such plots. Amazing. So I came home last night... and slept, and dreamt! Haha... as usual.
Only God is Stable and in Control
On another note, I'm tired of trying to figure out what others are thinking. I know I'm a very sensitive person. In fact, over sensitive. And it's not my first revelation that we have totally no control of how others feel, or what things happen.
I'm just really sad that some people shouldn't be thinking the way they should. It hurts to see others in bondage. It hurts to see others not respond the way you want them to. That's why we should never put our hopes in people cuz ultimately, the best person in the world still have their flaws and weaknesses. Only God won't fail us... believe only God.
Your loved ones may fail you, but God wouldn't. I wished the world, and even myself, will start to involve God in everything situation and relationship in our lives.. then the world wouldn't be so bad. Because if we gave our hearts fully to God, know that it is in safe hands.
But humans... forever, unpredictable and unstable. Trust me, it's true.
Don't worry, I'm not writing this because of any BGR thing (just in case you are wondering).
But I think I can understand how Jesus feels when we keep getting hurt by people around us. I mean, look... Jesus said, 'Come to ME'. And yet, we keep going to man for the security and get hurt in the end.
Time Spent Loving
Sometimes, I think I have built too high a wall as a barrier that prevents others from getting too deep into my life. Because I hate being vulnerable when opening up my life to others. But at the same time, without opening up your lives to others, you don't make a friend. In opening up, I do not mean just sharing your feelings and deepest secrets. In 'opening up', I mean just choosing to spend time with others, choosing to go an extra mile for someone... choosing to give up your precious time for others... because time is precious, and it's something you can give and never get back. Sometimes the heartbreaking thing is that no one realises that you gave TIME to them... but they realise it when you don't give TIME to them.
Time.. if you haven't realise, is a gift. And it takes effort for the giver to GIVE, and effort for the receiver to RECEIVE.
To me, TIME is the most precious gift you can give anyone. But at the same time, TIME is the gift that no one sees when you give it. EFFORT is what makes me give TIME as a gift. I always feel that I don't have enough time. But really, God made 365 days in a year, and 24 hours in a day, because He knows that is ENOUGH time for us. There is so much wisdom involved in spending my time. I need God to give me wisdom. Life isn't just about myself, but it's about living with many people around who have different commitments and lifestyle. No one is better than another.... I hope we all understand that.
God has helped me to see the sacrifices of the people around me. And I really want to thank many different ones who gave me their precious gift of TIME. I believe that all the TIME you spent giving, will be greatly poured back into your life by God, whether now or in Heaven when the time comes. As for myself, I pray for God's strength in my life to endure the difficulties of not being appreciated, and yet continue to press forward towards the finishing line.
In friendships, people get hurt. Are we willing to forgive and still love others when hurt? Yes, because I know, if I hurt my friend, I won't want her/him to close up to me, just because of my weaknesses. In the same way, I should forgive others who hurt me unintentionally, because we have different characters. A character clash doesn't mean someone can't be your friend. A character clash means you learn to appreciate the uniqueness of others.
That's what friends are for. Sacrificial love. Unconditional love.
And that's the LOVE that Jesus is talking about.
I'm going to work on my assignment now... till then.
