Been reading the book of Samuel about David … Come to think of it David really had a very cui life … have you ever placed yourself in the shoes of David?

I can imagine he’s like the typical City Harvester, who was once a gangster who smoke, took drugs and have many fights? Maybe he came to church at one point of his life. His life was radically transformed and everyone was sure that God did a great work in his life. Eventually he was on fire and passionate. Eventually he rose up and became a CGL. Grew his group within a short period of time and maybe even rose up to become a ZS? Ha. Abit far fetch la … But this guy, let’s call him Jayson. Jayson may have been a great member, great Christian, loves God and all but one day He got into a wrong relationship with a member in his zone and they did something really wrong. In the end he was asked to stepped down from his position and everyone starts to de-credit Jayson’s character, motives, attitudes etc. Even though they know that Jayson did have a genuine conversion and was heading for the better side of his life.

Sound like what David went through. He was a warrior that slew Goliath, he was a great king but ... he commited adultery and murder. At this point David had 2 choices … Listen to what people around said about him or look to God with repentance. David said in 1Samuel that he rather fall into the hands of God than the hands of man. Why? The answer is simple, because when God corrects, He does it with love but when man does it … It may unknowingly bring lots of condemnation and maybe through that Jayson may choose to turn away and just let go.

Hm, I’m really not talking about anyone I know or even myself. I learnt things and I’m thankful I learnt it because it will only help me to go through things stronger and better …

Not exactly a good time for me because of many things that happened. But things make me grow up and grow strong. I learnt that I need to please one person and that’s God. I gotta always seek to please Him because when I please God, the BIGGEST person in the entire universe, it doesn’t matter if others are pleased or not. Well I’m not say to blatantly offend people … But there are how many people in the world and there’s only one of me. I learnt I just need to seek to become “the man after God’s own heart.”:D The way I put it now is machiam I’m being misunderstood by a lot of people. Well … No la, I know where I stand and I know my stand with Him. But it’s more of something that I learn today while reading the bible that I felt it made me grow.

I really think sometimes we must not judge with what we see as much as we can … I’m guilty of judging with what I see many times, but a lot of time when we do that we may be putting our friends, members etc. on the road to the exit.

I pray that I’ll be someone with a simple heart when it comes to looking at people.
