Reflecting on Others' Feelings

I am realizing that I have a lot to learn about people. I know that it causes some to be a little testy about my comfort zones sometimes. To be stretching myself far and trying to apply things in a loving manner, I realize that I have so many flaws and that I could lose so much focus for myself. As I am gaining more grounds and becoming more emotionally secure, I need to be careful about being too reckless about others' feelings.

Life in solitude has meant the worst of times for me sometimes. Perhaps, it results from a part of my moral culpability where I try to be the initiator or aggressor sometimes in dealing with situations but end up nowhere. I'm starting to gain a lot of confidence for some reason and feel acceptance for any response, even in the form of expressionless facial appearance, with the other party I end up trying to communicate with. It's just so important to not to lose it, while expressing self-control and unconditional love for her! Sometimes the man needs to suck up the discomforts in life and aim for leading the woman in the greatest direction that's reasonable even if she's not his type.

Renew Thyself

A lot of things sometimes happen to me, and it's like I want to protect my own interests by not conveying them. It has been a little difficult for me to find the right and meaningful path with the best approach and to also feel confident about it. Currently, I am realizing that there is a place for me and it's only going to get stronger as I find it hard to contain within myself! The inspiration coming from how Christ lived is inexplicable to me.

I know that I have several faults in me that I cannot seem to fix. These sins of mine would never have been so apparent if was not for the Lord convicting me of my prideful and erring ways. One of the most difficult worries I have is a person taking advantage of me. It is really something I need to pray about and to allow God to fix. I know I am a work in progress and that in time, as I let Jesus finish the work created in me; I should be the person that I want to be who is pleasing the Lord. Without the Bible, I would not have anything to go by. The Bible is definitely more than a piece of literature to me; it's the word of God. It is simply not about what I feel at the moment when I am reading it- it is about living through acknowledging what Christ truly meant through the Scriptures.

Thanks for being there God

I think being confrontational can sometimes appear controversial. Whether it's emotional or not, a decision needs to be made on how one wants to go about it no matter how disillusioned others may feel about his or her claims. My whole life seems to be centered on some rules that I have adopted in trying to be considerate for others. It's really important for me to keep a clear mind that wants to be accepting of other people's weaknesses. I know that I'm weak but loving people is like one of the greatest attributes a person can have. The way Christ went about it while he walked on Earth is so remarkable that I am inclined to being emphatic to his ways when emotional challenges resurface.

I think it's really important for a person to be a great peacekeeper. I guess calling someone an idiot or trying to push her away because she does not fit your boat may not be the greatest expression of love. When we let our pride get in the way, it sometimes gives us reason to end up disregarding other people's feelings. It's not a really good thing to express in my opinion, like that's the only thing in your life worth contending with. I think we all possess enough heart to have the capacity to receive the Lord into our lives and to allow him to direct our dealings with conflict. Emotions are a very strong medium and to lose oneself to it while being angry could be devastating to one's health.

Fresh Thinking

I think a lot of my perspectives have been about learning to change to the point of understanding where I need to be at right now. Sometimes, it feels like dramatic things happen in my life but I just don't want to let others know about it. To communicate my thoughts and feelings while in the mood for gossip just sounds so childish for me. I realize my own behaviors have limitations now and that I am not that good enough on my own.

Having adjusted emotionally has taken a lot of toll in my life. I do still have different desires that have not been met yet. The personal preferences in my life are about giving it all up for the Lord. I don't really need to feel uncomfortable always and try to run away with developing myself.

Small Excerpt about My Morning with God

Respecting a person sometimes really takes a lot of commitment. With values and schemes that occur in life, I believe that one would sometimes want to escape from life by finding selfish pleasure. It could be personal lusts, idolizing someone, or even found through self-incrimination. I think we sometimes get too carried away with ourselves and some of us may never want to come out of our own bubble.

Today, I briefly read through the passages in the Bible about Jepthah and Samson. These passages feel a little much about God condoning their foolishness because of how He cares for our own weaknesses. I can greatly see through the historical speculation of them both of how God had blessed them a great deal, but would still use it to stir up what others may find troubling. I think I am in a similar situation right now. It's amazing how unwarranting people about what I'm going to do, even if it was subsocial could cause a lot of grief and doubt to a people who really considers you a lot.
