isolation of the BAD

sometimes, because it is our human nature, we tends to 'filter' and isolate those we think are not suitable or bad friends...

we isolate them because their character, their attitudes are seen as 'shameful'

however, this is not the case in bible.

Jesus came and befriend, held them, love them so that they can be renewed once again. This is a great love.

the book of Corinthians says it all. Paul wrote the book not only to rebuke or give warnings to them, but also to assure them that Jesus loves them much that He is waiting for them and encourage them to let Jesus be the centre of their lives.

Paul does not disown them, does not throw them out because of their bad behaviour, does not fly into a tirade over their irresponsible way.. but takes them by hand, goes over the old ground and directing them....

i guess.. this type of Paul-attitude should be implant and grown into our church, those who wanted to serve as a leader.. in the church.. has to have a heart of compassion... or else... we would not be able to bring back those who are in the midst of chaos..

because.. by then we had abandoned them to their own destructions...

strange habit!

a dark secret had been reviewed!

someone has a habit of talking about people.. (sort of behind somebody's back) but in fact it is very front. (1 meter away) <这样的说法就是论断人!!>

i just can't stand it anymore. the whispering, the criticizing and worsely.. someone called a smoking gal a prostitute!?

how shocking is this huh?

i just wonder, if we kept complaining about people of this world, criticizing about the way people look, dress and do, are we going to show our love for them?

what is the point behind talking like that? that someone said this is to remind ourself not to behave like that, but then i think this action looked down on people and laugh at them, rather than what is claim to be.

this attitude is very congtagious. i worried i might ended up like that too... sigh...

must keep my mind and focus upon Jesus!

Overdue Goodbye

i should have said goodbye and leave you 5 years ago but i did not.

i should have had these mixed-uncertain feelings 5 years ago yet i waited until now.

staying here for the first 2 years was an impossible task because of what i am.

never will i regret or struggle or angry because now i have to leave,

but thankful and grateful that i was given so much opportunities and time to be here when i actually don't deserve it at all.

to me, this is all an overdue goodbye that i should have said, 5 years ago.

Goodbye England... Goodbye Birmingham...
