learnt some things yesterday through my disappointments.

1) to forgive those who hurt me like how God has forgiven me. having an unforgiving heart will built a wall between you and God.

2) to rejoice in my broken state that God is moulding me and allowing me to grow in character. don't want to be stagnant in my spiritual and character growth.

3) trials revealed the areas which i need to work on and am weak in. to let go of my pride and to allow Him to take control.

4) all things are possible with God and from the strength he provides.

i shall persevere on.

never give up on yourself.

Hey Benson!

Not being able to forgive sucks bro...one part of me I hate the most...but man it sure is hard to do a 180 isn't it? I think it's possible to forgive without making yourself vulnerable...but I have no idea how to do that...

I remember the story of the rich man who died and Peter was taking him to his "kingdom" and they pass these huge houses that belong to his butler, cook, maids, etc...and when they get to his house it's nothing more then an ordinary house. He asks why his is so small while the others were so big and Peter says "They built their kingdom while they were alive...you did not". I hope I'm doing enough to have a groovy pad lol

Hi Mike,

Haha. Like your story. Sounds neat. Yup, it is tough to forgive, but we have God on our side who makes all things possible! 3 cheers for that!

i think the fear of vulnerability sometimes hinder us from doing certain things like forgiving and trusting. That is something we have to learn too.=)
