"Empty vessels make the most noise."
haha... from easter drama... so dun make so much noise...
something interesting here..
how to be perfect? haha..
"My Brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces
PATIENCE. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be PERFECT and COMPLETE, LACKING NOTHING."
hmm..interesting huh..
so lets study the word patience and learn its accurate meaning.
looking in the Longman Active Study Dictionary..
Patience = The ability to wait or to deal with difficulties, for a long time
without getting annoyed.looks theres much more to patience..
you can't get annoyed.. haha.. if not it isn't patience! lol...
Patience is the capacity to endure hardship, difficulty, or inconvenience without complaint.
Patience emphasizes calmness, self-control, and the willingness or ability to tolerate delay: Our patience will achieve more than our force (Edmund Burke).
so.. Patience.. ya.. its more than just waiting for a late friend... its really an attitude, a Fruit of the Spirit, a virtue that makes up a Strong and Great Character.
and dun blame and curse God when things start to go wrong, but instead, look for a solution, and solve the problem. Take it as an opportunity to learn and grow by taking up the challenge and resolving it in the best way.
another thing.. people who are problemless seem like they're having the best life and we think that they're the best people, thats why they have no problems..
but in fact, the opposite is true.
so don't just keep opting or a better life and circumstances, but choose to be someone who can sove problems, a man with wisdom!
and if you should think you don't have enough wisdom? good, you're humble.. haha..
and
Humility is great! don't look down and despise it!
"Let the Lowly(humble) brother glory in his exaltation"
- when you humble yourself, you'll be exalted.
and lacking wisdom?
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him
ask of
God, who gives to all
liberally and
without reproach, and it
will be given to him."
Liberally = generously, or in large quantities
Reproach = blame
