Lost in Thought

One of the things that sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom is our ability to think. He's given this ability as a catalyst for free will.

But hmm. What have I been thinking about? Everything, obviuosly - ranging from girls to grades to God, the three G's. (for girls it would be guys, obviously.)

Brokeness

You can take a hammer to break a hard heart, but He chose to do it with love. To help me see things from a different point of view; to break my negativities. I am like a jar of clay, ready to be molded and transformed into something great, something strong and marvelous. But first, one needs to be swept clean of grime and wickedness; receptive and obedient to be made into a work of art.

I find myself talking to Him a lot more; and it's definitely steered my path in the right direction. He's taken my burdens, allowing me to take the lighter yolk. Taking the pain and suffering which I deserve so that I can be full of praise. I've been really glad nowadays; for the people, activities, and opportunities I've been given. I've always taken friends for granted, thinking I should deserve them. In actuality, it was He who gave the community, fellowship, and love that I enjoy now. Thinking back to my olden days, I've realized that I have changed a lot, gaining things that I have once never dreamed of having. Let everything that posseses the energy, be grateful for who they are and what they have. Sometimes we're so blinded by our ambitions that we don't see the light. It's human nature for the dark to be afraid of light; it's the theory of opposites. But through Him, the darkened ones are able to be reconciled with the light; able to be clean and pure.

Fire and Patience

Looking back on saturday, the bad things that happened to me weren't actually that bad. Getting bruised and cut as well as being late for missions training was rough at the time, but the next day is a new beginning. The bad events eventually led to short-patience and I exploded on one of my friends. It was like burning a bridge that was ever full of interactions between us. The Bible says that you should always be Christlike and be a good witness in relationships, trying to maintain it no matter the cost. What I need now is time to wash away the dirt and grime called pain from their hearts.

It's just that I was really mad at some people for the things they've done, thinking that they were my good close friends. I see that they lack a lot of direction and I get impatient with what they're doing with their lives. I mean, everybody should live their life the way they want, but they just seem to live it inefficiently, not taking the right paths. What I need is to be patient with them, and allow time to change them. He'll be working in them too, molding, shaping them to be something great.
