Mourning Good Friday

I always feel heartbroken during Easter, and the Holy Week Friday is the saddest day for me in the whole year 

I still remember the first time I grieving for death was when I watched the movie about Jesus crucifixion for the first time. At that time, I couldn't comprehend why God the Father allowed Jesus to be crucified and why Israeli back in the day want Jesus to die. Since then, I start to have fear of human more than I scared of evil. I don't like suffering, to feel it, and to look at it. It's gut wrenching to see people who caused other beings to suffer in any kind of form.

Suffering is something that I consciously and unconsciously avoid constantly. But the more mature I am, the more I understand why God condones suffering. Just like He allowed Jesus to die and rise, he allowed people to experience badness for the eventuality glory on earth and definite crown in Heaven. He taught us to be resilience and have endurement to overcame all the ups and downs of life. He want us not to be arrogant, and not to use our own strength but to rely on Him.

Surrender and fully trust Him with my life is still a challenge for me. It's difficult to me to surrender because I have quite comfortable upbringing and I am a person with lots of ego who doesn't like to lose and be inferior. 

I believe in God 💯 percent, I trust Him because I am His, I live and breath for Him,  however, my level of trust is still a working progress. But believe me that I want to be a person who forsake any doubt, I desperately want to be His daughter and Jesus disciple that has faith to move the mountain and walk on the water. I want Him to be proud of me as He proud of Jobs.

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
Romans 5:34

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
Romans 8:18

The righteous person may have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them all.
Psalm 34:19

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
2 Corinthians 4:17

Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.
1 Peter 4:1

Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
Matthew 10.38

For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
2 Corinthians 1:5

He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
Deuteronomy 8:3

Smile

How to Win Friends and Influence People Dale Carnegie It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.  It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and Nature´s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away.  And if in the last-minute rush of Christmas buying someone should be too tired to give you a smile, maybe we can leave one of ours for them. For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to  give !  give ! https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/23...

Entitlement

People say our young generation is entitled, it is a good topic to joke about for the stand-up comedians. Entitled is believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment. I believe this is not owned by the young generation only, every generation has it, every one of us has it to some degree. This is a problem we have in society in any age, in any countries in this world. I remember when I was a kid, at night during the hot season our house was filled with mosquitos, and dengue fever are quite common in our country.  I can't remember whether I and my sister ever whined about it but I always remember the fact that my mother often stayed up late holding the insects killer racket just to defended us from the mosquitoes. However, My entitlement behaviour took the bad on me, I thought she ought to do that one because she is our mother, it's her duties to protect us. I did not really care how many hours she has spent at our room every night, or whethe...

Addiction

Addiction is the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity. Addiction usually start with pain and end with pain. People will turn to addiction as an escape from their 'hard to deal with' current circumstances. Addiction have negative connotation but in my opinion addiction can be good and bad. But anything that not being done in moderation tends to bring more harm and good.  However, the dichotomy of bad and good, can we really be able to distinguish them? In my own opinion again there is no such things as true good and true bad, all good and all bad. It all depends on our own perceptions and our current states when it's happen. What is good now might not be good again tomorrow, the thing that is good now was not good yesterday. If we are battling with any addiction today, let's all of us be kind to ourselves. We should all acknowledge our addictions and bring them to the lights, but we shouldn't condemn them. We are what we are now b...
