Not me but You


Respect is the most basic moral value.

Even when some people don't seem to deserve your respect,

Give it to them. And only then, that is true respect.


Demand is not the way to live life.

We do not demand in our own name for things to be done.

We got to show respect to people's ideas, points of view, and beliefs. And simply for who they are.



Only juveniles demand.



Look at Jesus, the perfect author and finisher of our faith.

Even on the cross - cursed, despised, abandoned, left behind, He did not demand anything from the Father.

He wept and prayed.

He respected the Will. He respects, and honours our Father in Heaven.

He endured regardless the pain and shame.

He knew that only His freedom could exchange for our freedom.



I'm inspired, to be more like Him.

The God who came humbly as a man to serve.

The God who gave His life so that i could live.

The God who prays, loves, serves, and believes.


No longer my ways.

Your will be done.


The skin that i am wearing, must be torn.

And be replaced with the character of Jesus.

I don't want to be demanding, negative, critical, judgemental, faithless, low self-esteemed, discouraged, tired, lazy.

I want to work and tend my garden.

Sow seeds of love, optimism, faith, confidence, hope, endurance, patience.

I want to keep it the most beautiful paradise.



So that when the Day comes, I know just what to answer my Lord.


-
I'm expecting a great day tomorrow.
Though certain unforseen circumstances (Woman's "best friend") killed my day with band besties today. That i had to come home to swallow all my unhappiness.
Gonna check out my Othello textbook finally.
and IPOD!
ciao
