Although there are a lot of new fun stuffs out there, I want to go back to my old self where I built the walls around me, fleeing from the world. I find my current attitude quite good in the school but the home has not changed yet. I have no problem with others who are studying the same diploma. However, there is one classmate whom I find it difficult to resolve our sour relationship. This person somehow has the same attitude of the others who had hurt me before. Well, Lord Jesus said, "Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you." (Matthew 5: 44) Yes, I had been wanting to forgive all who have offended me since I started the new life one and half a year ago. As the problems became more complicated and as the human nature, I found it difficult to soften my heart and forgive them. I often read or hear, "Love thy enemy as thy neighbour." as it is said, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12: 31) It's quite convincing that Lord Jesus wants us to be friends as He loves us. For He said, "Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another." (John 13: 34) So that we might be spared from the judgement as He said, "If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you." (Matthew 6: 14)
I am wondering whether they are aware of it. I pray that they will come to the sense soon and make their actions. I also hope that God will help us to regain our old friends and make no more enemy. There is a saying, "Time will heal." It's certainly true as we change over the period of time.
Long time ago, my Godfather told me, "Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the strength so that you might forgive the others." Amen to that.
