Tears of God

It is so easy to judge, or get disappointed by someone who just lies without regret
as if lying is a part of himself, or his habit

However, think again,
What kind of life did he have to live that he ended up like that?
Did he have to lie so that he could keep through his life?
What kind of life is it?

.... a miserable life
And there must be tears of God who has been carrying him
whether he realized it or not
So, meeting tears of God
that might present a doorway for the healing

Abuse of power?

Your company president made an announcement, "I love transparency, and I love to listen to every employee's honest opinion. Please report to me honestly." Then one employee gladly reported, "Dear President, I really appreciate your message. I really love how you run the company. In fact, a little thing I realized was ... ... ... If you could put some change on it, then this company would bring more success... "

Few days later, you heard that that employee was suddenly noticed that he would not need to come to work any longer.

You felt it's a little strange. But then as time passes you have come to realize that this was not only the case for that employee. It seems that whoever gave real honest report got fired. Needless to say, whoever gave "wonderful" report stayed and got promoted.

Then, even though many things could be improved, since there was no such report coming to him any more, the president started to think that he was doing a very good job.

You love the company, and you do want to contribute to its development. So you're really concerned about what is going on. However, if you are fired, then you cannot do anything to contribute to the company.

So, the question: What shall you do now? Will this company have a good future?

Living God or Religion

I'd rather live a life relying on the living God
than a life relying on the power and authority of a religious institution

especially when the religious institution doesn't seem to be interested in the truth
but rather interested in the inner politics

and when its leaders seem to believe that they can use its mighty power
to crush their own people for not a right reason

But there must be a reason to thank God for this
I just haven't figured it out yet...

If you are unhappy...

When you are unhappy, you are blaming someone.
When you are angry, you cannot see things objectively.

So, stop blaming
and get rid of your anger

Then do something to contribute to someone other than you

Then find things to be thankful
find things you could apologize

Then try to address the root cause

hmm...

Judas lied and got what he wanted.
He won a battle, in a way.
But, what did history testify and what is he remembered as?

It seems that many people are not afraid of history
They are so much focused on winning a battle
But this may just show how powerful a religion (or religious institution) is
It may somehow provide powerful enough excuses for people to justify
their unreasonable actions including lying (to others and/or to themselves)

But, history will go on
and testify the truth anyway

So... let us do our best... not to lie...

The first three days would win the whole thing

Also, always the first three days are very important
If you lose the first three days, then you may lose the whole thing

If you cannot be strict to yourself, what do you expect to accomplish?
So, your commitment has to be very concrete and clear
It is hard, but it is still a chance.

Not what you will do, but what you will not do

Do you want to keep your spirit?
Then, before thinking about what you will do,
first, think and decide what you will not do.
That's where you should begin.

Blaming doesn't make you a victor

Real situation always looks complicated. However...
the simple truth is blaming others is an act of creating another barrier,
while saying, "This is my responsibility..." is an effort to destroy one barrier
This has to be the basic guideline all the time

Blaming could win a battle for you
But what's the worth of it if you lose the war?

Conscience and love

If your conscience works in the level of giving you a sense of duty and obligation, or some pressure to do goodness, it is not bad, but it might not bring you a very happy life.

The question is how we can find a motivation in ourselves that wants to do good things
that wants to do good things to give joy to someone
that wants to not just do good things to give joy to someone
but to just be with someone

It's like some heart of longing to be with someone (then naturally and genuinely wanting to make that person happy)
This someone could be God, because he is the one who loved you first
and could also be some visible human beings

How can I find that motivation (and with whom) in my own lifetime?
That is a chance
as well as a challenge
But anyway, it's worth it.
So, who around you is sent to you by God as that particular person who I am going to long to be with?

When you get offended...

It is very difficult for me to realize how much I am offending people, while it is so easy for me to get offended by what people do, whether I express it or suppress it.

So, what can I do?
Whenever I get offended by people, instead of giving in to that feeling, I try to talk to myself, "Isn't this something I do to people without my realizing it?"
Then, answer usually is, "yes", or "maybe", and sometimes is, "oh, my goodness!"
So, it seems to be a good way to learn about myself and improve myself.
It seems that it is another CHANCE in my life.

And I asked God if that's a good idea for me to do this, I didn't hear him say no. So, maybe it's a good thing. At least, I can find one more chance to be thankful.

Do not underestimate the ending part

No matter how good or how bad the situation so far looks like, it is not too important
The most important thing is how you finish it
Even if it may be a very short time that remains before you, if you could make this final period the best period, then the whole thing will become your victory

Just take a deep breath, and calm yourself down
then reflect what you've learned so far, especially through mistakes,
going back to your original motivation to begin the whole thing,
Then re-identify your goal towards the end
and re-determine to complete the period together with GOD

Remember, he absolutely loves you
and he never forgets you nor betrays you
He will never give up on you
He will just want to help you grow to be his champion
Therefore, he will go with you till the end knowing your heart and your renewed goals

People may tell you, "May God be with you!"
But I would say to you:
"May God be with you, and may you be with Him all the way till the end!"
