Saturday, September 22, 2007: a matter of pride
tonight was quite eventful, plenty of fireworks going on at home, since my mom, my brother and i are all squeezing in one tiny house with debs and youyan. and this is not sometime you'd want to try because i think when people get into my space i get agitated, annoyed and you wont want to come near me. i guess what i'm trying to say is, i think alot of the times when my mom, my brother and i quarrel, alot of pride gets in the way.
especially all three of us.
what can i say? we all come from the same family.
but seriously.
yesterday for bs we were talking about quarrels and fights in James 4, and how they are caused by our sinful desire and pride. i think alot of times we quarrel because we all think we're right, and even when we're proven wrong we still quarrel our way through just to make our point. and i am very guilty of that. i think its so hard for me to be humble.
God commands us to love our neighbour, not just Him. if we love God, we love our neighbour. why can't we just be humble enough to accept our neighbour as someone God loves and created in His likeness?
i think its because often at times i think that i'm superior to them so i look down on them. truth flash: yes kristi is a proud girl, very proud.
i remember one of my friend's mom sharing once before that so many times she tried to change her husband in order to suit her ideals, but she realised that the person she needed to change was herself. maybe its time that i change myself.
even so, words so easily put, actions so much harder to do.
i think i need alot of God to put me through this..
a shout of praise.
