HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KELVIN LIM YY
I may haf no regrets going for the chalet at Ananda Resort on Mon evening (I even had a good night sleep from 12 am to 7.30 am)... but things took a worse turn by Tuesday afternoon when Rashidah and Kim started arguing. Sensing a great disturbance in the Force, I left the chalet on my own accord at 1315 hrs... never turning back. True enough, from what I heard from one of my classmates, the chalet event ended later that night, when everyone got chased out by the organizer's mum. It was just too much for Rashidah to kick a fuss over trivial matters and show her attitude in front of everyone. Ditto for a few other gals for saying bad things abt others behind their backs. Altho I was relieved to haf left the chalet rather early, I haf to say that it's a really big shame for the whole chalet gathering to end in such a horrible manner. Im not gonna blame anyone here... but rather, I want to share wif u readers on how to resolve conflicts thru forgiveness.
When we or someone we love has been hurt, thoughts of revenge may dominate our minds. But we won't be able to 'get even'. Dr Lewis Smedes stated that "revenge never evens the score, for alienated people never keep score of wrongs by the same mathematics. Forgiveness is the only way to stop the cycle of unfair pain turning in your memory. Forgiveness is not about forgetting, excusing or smoothing things over. Instead, forgiving breaks the cycle of revenge and creates a new possiblity of fairness by releasing us from the unfair past. Forgiving is love's toughest work, and love's biggest risk. To forgive is to dance to the beat of God's forgiving heart. It is to ride the crest of love's strongetst wave. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner is you all along."
Ephesians 4:31-32
All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, and reviling must be removed from you, along with all malice. And be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ.
