lessons i learned

Last week was one of those learning-experience-weeks for me. One incident that happened to me has formed a question in my heart and mind. The question: "Why can't Christians be more CHRIST-like? (By the way, I was in the middle of writing down here the full account of what happened that week and I even entitled it with the same question I have in mind, when suddenly the computer went kaput and there my composition went... it's gone and I just felt like.... whaaaa! So, I'm writing a new one in a different light, I think I just have to write down the lessons i learned.

Because of what happened last week, a question was formed in my heart and mind: "Why can't Christians be more CHRIST-like?" And then I began to look inside of me and asked myself, "Am I showing CHRIST in my life or I'm just like others who fail to reflect Jesus in their lives?" Because of that incident, I became more conscious of my attitude. Thank God for that.

Another lesson: "Extending help doesn't need instruction, it just takes compassion."

I am hoping that someday I would be able to publish a book that is a compilation of the lessons I learned through the years. I'm really thankful to the Lord for allowing me to experience not only the good things in this life but also the not-so-nice ones. They teach me a lot! The leave imprints in my heart which I hope to pass them on to others, especially to my would-be children, to the next generation.

May the Lord be glorified in my life as I continue to discover life's greatest lessons taught by Him.
