a good lesson to learn

April 26 2006
trying to write something stirring up by someone's essay, even though nothing rather special to say.
   feeling a little bit disspointed by someone by finding out that he is not that a true believer as i was expecting( i may be put into a situation of JUDGING). well, but that is good anyway. experiencing life doesn't have to mean that you will meet everything within your expectation but something that cause you to meditate may bring you a lot more than "benefit".


   having coworking with someone for a time, during which full of compliments, of course, encouragement we can say to some extent, it is so curel then to turn out that some of the "flattering" may due to some reasons. surely, nothing occured to us without God's gracious will, but i still feel a little bit shock and discouraged anyway. not in the prosperous time as before any more, i am so grateful to find that it is such a blessing to be able to think about everything without any involvement of any "motives".in the time of thinking freedom as now i have, i now learn to know that no matter in what kind of situation you are brought in, the only one that you can trust is God. Leaing a fellowship may bring you all the glory in your face, though, you need to stand firmly without scattering by any of the worldlily words, of which may please you or discourage you. ok, so now i am wondering for how many years will God train one to become "his suitable vessel"? looking at some leaders' weakness, his  handsome faces may not be that way any more but can only hurt you stumble you.
   well, thinking about my carreer of "being a leader" during the three years: have i not become a block of somebody? have my smiles felt disgusted? the answer may be "yes" sometimes. that's why i have been trying all the ways to think that which group would be suitable for you. in the idea of "envioronment shapes a person", i now have to surrender that idea that we could not conquer the envionronment! such ideas may be a sarcastic for the ambitious ones, however, after battering with so many times of failure, i then found out that the only way to keep yourself holy is to stay away from evil, just don't be close to them. if it had to be, then remember to look at God's face.

   well, then come back to the topic now. how do you get out of the disappointment when things turn out to be such a shocking unexpectedly discouragement to you?  falling down?  definitely no! one of the solutions i can offer is that trust that" it is the lessons you have to learn on the way you grow up". alright now, feeling in this way, i began to balance in my mind instead of full of complaints all the time. he may be a good coworker with someone else, but not good to me maybe? it may true. the belief of "no one is perfect" actually helps one to own more tolerance and patience, and to shape oneself better to learn to see the "light" from others rather than "the darkness". ok. so this is a wonderful lesson for you and for me to learn. guys, go together, keep smiles always! Thanks to our great Saviour!
