Ang drama no? hehehe Magpatawad, at ika'y papatawarin din. Ganoong kasimple lang. Forgiveness is a reminder we’re still human, accepting not our neighbor’s shortcomings but our own as well.

A friend of 40+ years once said of me, "You so easily forgive the worst things. I don't think I could do that." By the grace of God go I, for I recall as a child being taught in church that if we don't forgive, then God won't forgive us. In light of my childhood, I wanted everything God and Jesus offer, paradise where there is no pain and abuse and illnesses: just peace and love. Well, it seemed to me that I must forgive or not be forgiven. The other thing that has made it easy to forgive even the worst things is knowing that we all share the same enemy, even the perpetrators; who were victims long before I was a thought in someone's mind. So, I see past the person to see Satan standing behind them, goading and tormenting them, and through them he strikes at me. So, I battle our common enemy instead of my fellow mankind, for whom I pray. We all are in this giant classroom called earth and, in order to find our way back to our heavenly Father, we are tried in earth's furnace until God can see Himself in us. Thus, I feel that we should focus on acing the tests that come our way. See everyone as no different than you, Vince; no better and no worse: for as God said, "There is not one sin greater than another, save blasphemy." So, you see a liar is no better than a murderer or rapist or pedophile and so forth. In some way or another, we've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Repentence is our key to redemption and glory. Thank you so much for letting me know that I have said something that, in some way, might have helped you in your walk with Christ. As your sister-in-Christ, I am here for you; just a blog away. :) Much love in Christ, BonnieQ Oh, Vince, I am so humbled by your words and your thoughts of me.

Recognizing our humanness and dependence kay God, is the first wisdom, ika nga.... Hmm, basta pangako mo na kikibuin mo na si J, nakikita ko kasi na parang ako rin ay nasasaktan :) drama hahaha!

One smile, a good memory, a silent prayer.. parang okay na ako agad. Siguro din kasi mababaw lang yung ibang mga nangyari... or makakalimutin lang talaga ako :) Seriously, I just give it all to God. Also, I always put in mind that life is short. Why burden yourself with too much hurt and anger for someone when you can take it all away by letting God take care of it di ba?
