Jesus, I want to be more like you.Help me in the changing process.Friday was amazing.
Really. Sat at Buddy Hoagies from 1.30pm until 10pm at night just talking and studying(a little).
Daniel and I both agreed that the best thing anyone can say to us will be something along the lines of "Hey, I can tell you're a Christian just by looking at you." It only means we've really shined the light-and that is really awesome. It was really heartwarming to hear that my friend could see it in me. Of course, I don't know whether I do deserve that, but either way it is still as heartwarming to know that regardless of the events happening to me, I've changed-for the better. I'll let you have your own opinion of whether I have actually changed or not, but I believe that whatever happened made me a better person, though there is still plenty of room for more change.
Talked about correcting in love :D
I suppose the things we say shouldn't be to demean anyone else, but to help them. Instead of picking on their mistakes, why not correct their mistakes-
in love?
Besides, judging is not up to us.
The longest chat I've ever had in my life. And it was just enriching, I guess, to hear from a non-Christian herself how she felt. Besides that, we shared a whole lot on how far our leadership positions in school have taken us, not just in terms of CCA points and all, but in terms of maturity in thought and the lot. You get the drift. All of us agreed on one thing-that we were placed in that position for a reason, whether with a position in name or not, we still had something to do and we ought to have given it our utmost best because we'd live to regret it in time to come.
Leadership should be a passion. I've learnt that. Full well, in fact.
I've definitely found friends who share the same ideals.
I've found bosom friends who can give good advice and correct me in love, which is exactly what I need.
I've discovered that friendship need not be circled around gossiping nor criticising. Friendship should instead be one that is filled with love, not just for our closest friends, but that the very love we put into our friendship should also be poured out to those that may seem unlovable.
Friendship is when we accept each other irregardless of our individual flaws, when we see our flaws as clearly as well.
I've found this, in them.
In case anyone might think that it was a gossip session, no-it wasn't.
Saturday was radical.
I guess I've let go of the stronghold that has stopped me from fully feeling God and giving my all to Him during worship, because I could feel God there so strong.
I've found that first love.
I've rekindled that fire.
And now, I want to keep it(:
