This was wad i got during my QT, so its a must to tell u guys.
Are we really worshiping God? What i learned when i was jus flipping through my journal was that are we worshiping god? worshiping is liking wad is most valuable to u. this made me wonder, am i REALLY worshiping god? if i am really worshiping god, i MUST stop doing all the other things that the world gives me. lust? money? this made we wonder if i was living like a read Christian. we as chrisitians must a example and not be hypocrites. as the bible mentions, god is love, by saying we love god but hate others, we are liars. what mel told my cell in bible sharing, if we live in christ, christ will live in us and we shall have eternal life.
So this means even though we hate these group of ppl so bad, we must try to love them. mayb not love them but save them at least, i noe it sounds easy, but i'll be a uphill task for me. so i am learning to change for the better.
Taking insults in, we must really be able to take everything in. vent ur anger on something else. did jesus fight back or beat up the person who was hurling insults at his face? he took it all in for the sake of us. we must learn to walk in those footsteps jesus had laid out for us. our body is the temple of christ, we shall not do anything to destroy it, but decorate it with our good deeds.
AND IN ALL, 'YOU CAN ONLY LOVE YOURSELF IF YOU LOVE OTHERS!!'

thanks dude...really good...
but then well to save someone u have to love that person, if not the saving has no effort to it. you will get irritated. so i think to yes u have to love the people u hate in order to save them.
and i think venting frustrations elsewhere may hurt urself or others, maybe you could instead of venting ur frustration you pray and let God take away the anger. Like how God took away nick's anger. Try it, it worked for many of us.
Once again thanks for sharing...people let timmy be an example...start flooding the testimonies thread!!!

Totally agree with edward. And for me if you dont love them, you wont REALLY save them. i mean who would you rather put more effort into saving ?? a dude u love ? or a dude you dont ?
And Timmy Venting your anger/frustration elsewhere aspecially yourself, is potentially harmful. True story. Just pray for it to be taken away. it works! true story.
