Time to grow up..
Ever heard of the story on "the boy who cried wolf"? Or the saying "once bitten twice shy"?
The world is not just about ourselves and how we only care about how we feel but many things and people around us. Like what sister klessis said during cell group, as people of God, we should not be self centered, to just want people to feed us, feel us and always there. We have to grow up to a place where we place others above us. Sometimes words come so carelessly, when you make a certain statement just to see how others feel, and when this statement comes too often, i would say, its like the boy who cried wolf. What do you really want to hear from people by making this statement? Be true to yourself, be true to people, be true to God. I am still learning on that and i really hope my dear friends will be that too.
Dont let feelings control you or judge people based on your own feelings or ideas. It's dangerous! You will miss out a lot! I remember the first time i met Angeline my best friend, i did not have a good feeling about her, in fact, i felt that she dont like me!!! With this kind of thought, i built a bubble which blurred my vision of her and hard for her to penetrate into my world. Its only when i begin to let my defence down, i realise that she is a great person and one who loves me so much! We grew so much in friendship and here we are now, great pals for life.
Xin Ying, my sister, for one is a very true person. If she's upset, she will tell. She will not use hints or other ways which will hurt me but being open to one another, our love grows so much deeper. I am really proud of her!
If you want friends, you must first be a friend!
"A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. " Prov 18:24
Dont erase what others have done for you. Friends, let's not be people who care only about ourselves. Above all, let's go all out for God!
