Carefully Careless

Below is a quiet time I had today. Nice to share. =)

"But seek first His kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33

This verse might be very familiar and common to us, but have we thought deeper in it? Or sometimes when we hear this verse, we'll feel troubled because it's the exact opposite of how most of us live. 

People around us in school or our workplace might have things backward. What they wear, how they perform in school or work or how much they earn are the dominant concerns of their lives. But sad to say, these are the wrong measuring scales. We have to be carefully careless about these things as they have no real value or meaning if you are not closely related to God.  The earthly things are normally very attractive, once we are careless, we will lose track. 

Jesus told us to concentrate on our relationship with Him first. Get that in order and then work on the other things. 

God is number one. That's it.

Get that straight and the rest will come easy. 

PS: Glowers!!!!! We shall all try to pick up the habit of posting our daily thoughts here again to motivate each other in our spiritual growth. =D

Love or hate?

i came upon some blog entries that i typed last year, found this one quite interesting=)

这几天插花的时候, 突然想到一个假设性的问题:

假设,

for guys: 你插的一束花, 是卖给一个你恨的人, 却是送给一个你爱的人. 你会以什么心情去插这一束花?

for girls: 你插的一束花, 是卖给一个爱的人, 却是送给一个你恨的人. 你会以什么心情去插这一束花?

Friend A said: Pass it to someone else to do. Don't wanna face it.

Friend B said: Don't care. Do then give the girl myself. (li hai, I never thought of this.-_-")

Mummy said: Just do my job.

Daddy said: Do my best for this one, and hopes the girl knows who did it.

That's about all! haha the nice thing I found out is that I had the same thinking as my dad, even to the last sentence. Cool~

Well, I guess as christians, we learn to focus on love than hate. The answers I received more or less revealed that too. And I think it's true that we all should focus on love and forgive the person we hate.

Jesus said: "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.' The second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these. "
