I have completely ditched this blog for FB. There are benefits in blogging though, as I read through my past entries, I’m just so touched by His faithfulness in my life. Then I realised that my memory is failing me and I can’t recall what I have done in the past. Hence, this blog serves me well.
Yesterday I was jogging near my estate, after a long while. I was running across the road when a car turned in, and it was really closed to me. But nothing happened and I really didn’t see it coming, thus I continued to run. The car driver started to honk angrily and several times at me, then he scrolled down the window and shouted at me “You wanna die, is it?” I did not know what got into me, but i was so angry, and I felt so unjustified and thought, what gave this guy the right to shout at me like that. Hence I turned back and ran after the car into the carpark. I wanted to give him a piece of my mind 😛 I didn’t care if I would lose my face, or what the consequences will be…hehee… All I had in my mind was that I had to confront him.
Then I followed his car into the car park, but he drove fast (why am I not surprised?) and I lost him as a result. It was quite a big car park and I actually ran around it trying to catch sight of that car. I couldn’t find it, and continued my running and fuming. As I was going on my way, I was just reflecting why I felt that way, and I myself, was surprised at my response. Just then, I felt the Holy Spirit speaking to me in a small still thought… “would your passion for me be as strong as your anger?”
At that point of anger, I felt I could risk “my face”, and do “whatever” it was to get even. However, regretably at times, when God challenges me to do certain thing, I would feel self conscious, inadequate and I didn’t dare to obey. Sometimes even though I see things done that aren’t honouring to Him, I didn’t “rise up” in my passion for Him. Instead, I just try not to see it and blend in if its possible. It just makes me wonder why is it that I have no fear in my anger, but when it comes to the things of God, there is so much holding back? Shouldn’t my passion for Him be stronger than my anger?
I heard someone said this “If you wanna see God’s face, you’ve got to lose your face.”
Life is really short. It’s never about me, but all about Him.
