Reflections....

Before i start on the post, do not fret, i am not a deeply religious fanatic. but A christian nevertheless...

Done a bit of reflection yesterday, when complaining to zhiwei about some issues at work. That is when i noticed how complacent i have become. A bit of a bitch. Is "a bit" an understatement? Well, i'm totally unsure. Perhaps slightly self-centred too. Oh manz...

Just when I was in the midst of reflection, God seemed to know exactly what i needed...
(just happen to chance upon this in the Bible)

"For your father knows the things you have need of before you ask him." - Matthew 6:8

Perhaps zhiwei was one of the gifts that Lord sent to me, as his words were indeed enlightening.

But the true enlightment came when i flipped through my bible, and saw a few highlighted phrases in it. Well, i had no idea what make me take the bible out. Furthermore, for those few highlighted phrases, it answered my questions :

"Give to him who asks you, and from him who want to borrow from you do not turn away" - Matthew 5:42

"Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you" - Matthew 5:44

and the most important of all :

"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with same measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

"And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?

"Or how can you say to your brother, 'let me remove the speck out of your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye?

"Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.
-Matthew 7:1 - 7:5

Well, i just thought of sharing with whoever read this post. If it helps answer your question too, I will be most glad...
