updates!

just thought of sharing about moving on in this entry.

many of us are being hindered from reaching their maximum potential by life. why? because they are unable to let go and move on with their life.

they choose to hang onto the problem, never letting it go and thinking that times would change.

yes! just actions may result in changes, but would the person continue to make a difference in your life or would that person end up hindering your walk with God?

true friends are people that flow in thoughts with you, and understands what you are going through even when there is no verbal communication. how many true friends we have in a lifetime?

does that make me sound like i'm a heartless creep? no! i do not forsake my friends when they need help. but when the friendship is on the rocks, what matters the most is the effort put in to restore the friendship.

Jesus came to this earth and died on the cross for us. He made that effort to restore that relationship between man and God. the 12 disciples, being filled with the Holy Spirit, went about preaching the gospel and thats how the Church started.

do you notice that its a two way situation? Jesus came down, died and the 12 disciples preached. there were actions involved! the 12 disciples could have kept quiet and refused to preach the gospel, but because they experienced the power of God through Jesus Christ's ministry on earth, they went about sharing about the power of God.

likewise in friendship. if a friendship is being damaged, we do all kinds of things possible to restore the friendship. one person can do all he wants to restore the friendship and though the problem may seem solved, the actions of the other may not justify it.

it takes two hands to clap!

if you're serious about the friendship, do something to show that you treasure the friendship!!

friendship is basically built on trust. if the trust is not there, its always hard to digest things mentioned. why would the trust be broken? through many ways!

ways like being insensitive, sudden change of focus and the worst of all, mentioning of secrets to someone else.

i may not know what's happening behind my back, but i got the Holy Spirit to help me! sometimes i tend to over react and think too much, but that doesn't mean that i stop using the Holy Spirit! He's the greatest Helper i can ever find and He prompts me whenever something seem to be happening.

just that i need to fine tune the sensitivity of the voice of the Holy Spirit=P

anyway, in situations when you feel like its a dead end and there's no where else to go, thats when you have to decide to move on or to hang on.

a mature man / women of God makes decisions, not leave things lying around. sometimes its painful to let go, but lets not be like the little girl that refuses to let go of her plastic pearls when she could have gotten real pearls on her birthday.
