Shocking revelations.


I had a pretty long conversation with someone today. And what was revealed within an informal chat over MSN Messenger was possibily one of the most important lessons I learnt for myself in a long time. Although I would have loved to record the details of my conversation, it is definitely a strict no-no. Because I know I will need to reflect back on this, and change as a person. I wish I could make it up to the person I so affected, but it would be too late. And I believe that is a summary of my life so far, peppered with so many grave mistakes along the way. Sometimes I just feel like giving it all up.


But, life is not about not making mistakes. It is about making mistakes, but having the strength to pick ourselves up and never commit the same mistake again.


I suppose, the person concerned is not part of the audience of my blog, and will never know how much that conversation affected me. But I am definitely relieved that we can move on from here, without any misconceptions about each other. Whilst I slowly figure out how I can better improve as a person.


So many aspects of life have not felt much worse than they do now. And it is because of the sin in this world. The presence of sin explains why in life there is so much disappointments. And the only person we know will not disappoint us is not our parents. Nor our friends. They at some point of our life will still make mistakes. Only in Jesus can we find rest. And that is the confidence I have that all that I am going through now, is under His control, at His command and within His will.

Reminiscence the past, cherish the present, look forward to the future with hope.

When discipline is present, it is evident. It is the precise control of every aspect of one's self. It is the bedrock of success.
