If you’ve never been in their shoes, you have no right to judge them just because you disagree. Sorry to burst your bubble, but your opinions are not always right.
to the very end
regardless of how people judge me, i am a lover of God and i stand by my faith. i should never forget that. some people don’t believe in my God while others have the audacity to tell me that i don’t love mine, and some even the arrogance to hint to me i don’t love him as much as they do. it used to hurt me that people i cared for didn’t “get me” but not anymore. what i am challenged by instead, thanks to yesterday’s message, is how Jesus loved his people to the very end, no matter how many times they disappointed, or plain failed him. i don’t usually fast things other than food but this week, i am going to participate in a “media fast” with my church. goodbye facebook, email, movies, internet, and tv shows. my hope is that the time i save will help me medidate on this love, so that i can love others like this.
pet peeves
unsolicited advices, arrogance, people who don’t know their place, know-it-alls, judgmental attitudes, spiritual snobs, holier-than-thou attitude, people who think they’re ‘all that’…
in this world and age, is it too much to ask for people who love others, consider others better than themselves, or at the very least, to respect one another as a fellow human being?
endorphins
i keep forgetting the amazing beauty of exercising. i always dread working out until the second before yet whenever i do, the world just seems a little bit happier, exactly what i need sometimes. excuse a moment of my science-nerdiness, but dear endorphins, what beautiful creation you are.
friends
what do you do when people you care about don’t care about you? what would you do when people you want to love have no respect for you? what can i do when people i want to trust have no faith in me?
i’m not trying to win anyone’s approval
when she was little, she didn’t care what other people thought of her because she didn’t know better. as she grew older, she learned a thing or two about how people work in this world and she started to care about stuff, one thing at a time. but not anymore. she vows to stop caring about how other people judge her. if pleasing people were her goal, then hers would be a life not worth living.
