i know i shouldnt be so affected by it, but i just cant bring myself to just forget it like that. i dont want to say it here and give into that temptation to make myself feel better by putting others down. i just feel so terrible that im finding it so hard to forgive, feeling like there is no benefit in doing that on my end.
it reminded me of the recent bible study about how the Christian doesnt seek vengeance, because vengeance is God's to repay! instead, he goes all out to seek for the good in the person which i am finding it so hard to.
but this situation made me realise that i am so proud ):
how do i stop myself from being proud? how can i stop thinking that i am entitiled to some form of respect? who am i to look down on others because they aren't doing things in the way that i would do? why do i always feel the need to be right? ):
then i read this somewhere:
the only way to suppress our pride (we will never fully destroy it) is to make God the #1 priority in our lives and not ourselves.
fellowship daily, pray without ceasing, praise constantly,
hold every thought captive, in other words - don't let God out of your sight! take Him everywhere. tell Him everything. invite Him to be a part of everything. don't hide anythings from Him. don't do anything without Him.
you are not alone! this is the moment by moment challenge of every Christian!
The more we make God a part of our lives - the more He will transform us into the likeness of Jesus.. He gives us the wisdom and strength to grow in Him everyday.
only when we live with the consciousness that God is with us in all circumstances, then will we have the strength to put our pride aside. pride is a decision, and something that we must fight against. maybe thats why we need God not only every day, but every hour of the day...
Make me like you, Lord
Please make me like you
You are a servant
Make me one too
Oh, Lord I am willing
Do what you must do
To make me like you, Lord
Please make me like You
