Forgiveness… and thereafter
Written by ED on September 19, 2007 – 12:37 pm -Many have asked people like us, how did we do it? With all these painful memories, betrayal and physical abuses, how can we ignore everything that had been inflicted on us?
Keeyit commented in my previous post, that forgiveness is not forgetting. That is precisely the idea that I am trying to pass across. Most of us tend to associate forgiveness with forgetting the experiences and hurt, but I can tell you that is impossible. I will explain why…

Forgiveness
Written by ED on September 18, 2007 – 10:16 pm -An easy word for most, so easy to the extend that it takes a lifetime to learn and achieve. The simplicity of this act, stretches beyond the relief of guilt in someone but also unlock one from resentment that can linger around until the day we die.
I am sure all of us have suffered some form of injustice in our life regardless of our age. There’s this saying that time will heal it all, but hurt is something that can intensify over time. Take September 11th for example, the families of the dead watched their loved ones being killed before their eyes again and again. How possible can a dead be killed again? Well, the television broadcast are playing that scene repeatedly, isn’t it?

A gift
Written by ED on September 17, 2007 – 8:14 pm -How many times have we receive a gift that we really like? Honestly, it’s rare for me. No doubt alot of efforts have been put in by friends around me, they often end up buying an item as a gift - nothing more than just a visual display. In some cases, we probably dump it after a few years, if not months.
I received a gift this weekend…

Additional Prayers
Written by ED on September 10, 2007 – 11:01 am -Looks like I left out some folks who are in need, so at the request of Trinity I offer my prayers and I hope Lord will share His blessings He has bestowed on me with other unfortunate people.
Coming to prayers, we are often told to pray for ourselves. I know how much I need Him to be a part of my life, but constantly at the back of my head I know there are people worse off than me. They need Him even more, and why can’t we pray for others? All these years going around different churches, it’s always the same teaching… pray for ourselves and God will always be willing to show us the way. Why not praying for others? Why not pray for other less fortunate who are in need more than ourselves? Have we grown selfish not to share His love and holy spirit?

Prayers for friends
Written by ED on September 10, 2007 – 7:15 am -Recently, alot of friends have been in some sort of difficult times. From relationship issues to sickness, we just can’t seem to run away from all these isn’t it?
Elder Leonard mentioned something about initiating more conversations with God that day. In a way, how true? We often look to Him only when we are desperately in need of help but we somehow fall short of praising Him, or worshipping Him. No doubt His voice is really really soft and it’s hard to even hear Him at times, but His sons and daughters know He’s there… all the while.
