People are changing
2 Corinthians 3:18
18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

I've come to realise that we can't expect people to change, until we change ourselves. But the funny thing is, we can't change unless we see what God really has done for us. By His love and His Charitoo(Favour, grace) He's given us th epower to be childern of God! amazing... we need to realize, it's all about Christ, about what He has done for us and ultimatly, how His grace for us is not based on our worthiness on our unworthiness, or shall I say how good we are or how not good we are, but more of how much HE loves you and How good HE is! =).

even the bible says in 2 Cor. 3:18 People are changing form glory to glory, so people are changing not instantly, but little by little! It's like the story of a seed; The Seed is sown...then after that the seed takes time to grow it's roots, after growing it's roots it's still not going to survive until it gets nourishment through it's roots by persistent and constant watering... funny thing is, this water mustn't be too acidic nor too alkline, but just nice. This will then allow the seed to start growing.. but to reach the surface it needs to break through the soil, this process I believe isn't easy, but due to this I belive(not fact I think) the plant will grow a strong stem to support, Later it is still nto fully grown it still needs light, and watering is still required.. feeding the plant, but it's important not to drown the plant. it takes a painstakenly long time for that plant to grow to produce flowers but every step is important. further more if that plant is one that grows fruits it takes time and season for that fruit to be produced.

It's really just like life... We take our roots.. then through challenges we break through the first part The soil, strengthening our 'stem' or mouling our character. Later it's still not enough, we still need light(the word of God) and water (God's constant care and supply of love) though painstakenly long to get the plant to grow, it's like us, it must take ages for God to take care of us and grow us to perfection. Then we start growing and flowers start budding, small achievement in life are shown, but they will wither the flowers that is, then the plant will grow even more. But when it reaches to the age of producing fruits, the flower will stay there.. but it till take a long time for the fruits to come.. and grow to it's full potential, just like us, we get a lil sucess.. and it's very hard to excell beyong that point but light and water is still important God's word and His charitoo still important. until the length of paitence and struggle. we get the fruit.

phew what a process!

thats all for now~

::life might be getting tougher, but the tougher it is, the more light and food we need from God, if we lose all this, we might just become weak and starving::
