This week learnt about being merciful in my everyday life which i feel its so true cos in life, we bound to have sorrows, hatred and unforgiveness, yet it is the unforgiveness and resentment that causes us to produce bitterness in our heart and eventually leads to emotional and mental stress. To me, it is not easy to forgive ppl esp when they have hurt me in a very deep way, yet when i find myself trying my best to forgive themm, it is like a heavy burden have been lifted off my mind.
To be merciful is to show forgiveness, compassion and kindness. It is not just showing mere pity on a person, but also providing the solutions to solve their problems.
Mercy, forgiveness and compassion are all in de realm of attitudes, they cannot be mandated or enforced, rather, i need to decidie for myself cos nobody can force me to forgive this person or that person. Yet, how then do we learn how to show mercy to others?
The key is to learn mercy, we often have to undergo temtations and difficulities so that we can develop compassion and empathy for others. For example, let say a person score badly in his exams. When ppl heard it, the first tot they have in their mind is to lecture the person for not studying hard enough. Instead of understanding the situation first, they jump straight to criticism. yet on the other hand, let say i have been through exams and just like the guy, score badly initally and later work hard to achive good results, instead of criticising him, i will understand his situation and offer encouragment and empathy first. This is just a small scale, yet in our lives, we experience greater and more difficult trials so that when we are subject to difficuties, we will be able to develop empathy for others. So, let us all be the source of mercy we can provide for others as a result of the tribulations that we have all gone thru.
The most important lesson i learnt is that the key to forgiveness is forgetfulness. Of cos, it is definitely not easy to forget the person hu have hurt me deeply, yet, when we make de decision to tell tat person ' oh, tat incident really happen? i don remember that!!' to the both of us, that staement will mean an eternal blessing; the person recieve forgiveness, while i receive healing in my mind.
Hahas sorri for posting such long entry, but jux wanna encourage each and everyone of u, right now u may have someone whom u cant seem to be able to forgive or in future u find in hard to forgive someone who will hurt u, but make a decision to forgive and forget, for when we offer forgiveness to others, we in turn recieve forgiveness when we done things wrong too. It may take just a while, few months, few yrs to forgive that some1, but as we begin to walk in forgiveness, we find ourselves walking in optimism, cheerfulness and mercy:D
Opps, nxt week won be able to book out, got field camp ahhhh!!:D
