sharing my thoughts...yifen~*

Many people will agree that the book of Ruth hinges on the theme of the loving kindness of God. What about this in exactly? Is it just the mere providence of husbands and food? Thank God for His loving kindness shown towards us not just in providing for our physical needs, most importantly, His greatest kindness towards us has been shown in the providence of His Son to die a death meant for us. Although Ruth is just a short book with only 4 chapters, yet much can be learnt from it. In the backdrop of famine and chaos, God was still faithful in keeping his promises to the nation of Israel, and continued to work through finite people like Naomi, Ruth and Boaz. Once again, God is sovereign even in the control of events. A very good reminder to all Christians that whatever happens, God works for the good of those who love Him. May we always thank Him for His loving kindness towards us, even in seemingly insignificant things in our lives. Just a short summary of what I've learnt from Ruth. :)

Was shocked, frustrated and angry at myself. Not so much now, as I've come to terms with my sinfulness and repented, and defintely am reminding myself to move on to grow in Christ-likeness. Didn't expect myself to lose control during a game and shouted/screamed. Did that to my students before when I had a difficult time trying to get their attention. However, it was really uncalled for this time round, and to make things worse, there were non Christians, young Christians, etc, a mixed group altogether. Most people were shocked, partly because it was real loud, but more so because it came from me. Makes me wonder what image I've always given others. Am more worried that I've stumbled or offended others in the process, and I'm deeply regretful of what I've done. On hindsight, it was really unloving. After the incident, I sent a sms to those who were around and apologized.

Would like to take this chance to say SORRY once again to those who were around, and I do hope you will not be afraid to speak to me in the future, especially FOM. Thanks to those who encouraged me and prayed with me, am thankful to God for your patience and love. Appreciate your prayers for me, that I'll not be too discouraged by this incident, but continue to strive towards Christ-likeness. Thank you!
