5th Sem September 2006
This week will be another new semester of teaching new batches and groups of students that consists of old ones and new ones. Every sem the thing that I encounter is about getting myself adapt to the different clique from different courses. The very nature of a dominant melancholy temperament myself will sure find it difficult to adjust but as an instructor I have to learn how to cope with these scenerio. I still thank God for giving me the opportunity to be able to contribute my ability to this society.
Nontheless, there will be times when u are in your most anguish situation when dealing with the voices and different perspective from students. Frequently, I may feel dismay is when your good intention is not being appreciated by the students. You’ve strive your best to guide them and lead them and yet they’d give you all kinda excuses and reasons just to defend on their wrongs. If they are willing to defend with reasonable reasons about their action that would still be fine with me if they are able to take my advice at the same time, but the thing HURTS me most is whnever I rebuke or even when I do corrections upon their mistakes, instead of them submitting what you commented they rebel and do not want to listen as if it really felt like ppl stabbing right to the centre of your heart. This is not exaggerating but when I am confessing here sometimes it helps me to reflect back on God’s heartbeat. In the same way, our Abba Father who is a LOVING father desires to save all mankind whom he has created. He sent His only and begotten Son who is without sin to be incarnated into a real flesh in the form of a man with only 1 great mission that is to DIE for our sins as the substitute of death on the CROSS for us, and yet some still will not follow Him and some even spitted, ostrasized and persecuted Him. But I can never forget the MIGHTY GRACE that He has laid down for us. When Jesus was persecuted on the cross, the last prayer He pleaded above Heaven is, ‘ Father, forgive them. For they do not know what they are doing’. Untill the point of death He still pleaded for MERCY for us. How many times I have broken His heart too by rejecting His commands, disobedients, having put all sorts of idol in my heart not putting God as the 1st priority in me? How would Jesus feel about me? We are His creations, how much more valuable are we then the lilies that grows in the midst of the field?
But I thank God that I am still living, having been given the opportunity to look fwd for a better day to allow God to mould myself and determine to be more n more like Christ. Only through Him we are able to become righteous, without His precious blood, there is no way we can even enter the Kigdom of God. For God says only those who are righteous before my eyes will be able to enter and inherit my heavenly Kingdom. Being righteous here does not refer to how perfect we are but it is through the cleansing of the precious blood to wash away all our sins then we will turn to be a righteous person. How amazing is God’s love!
