imperfection People are not perfect. People ≠ Perfect Christians = People ∴ Christians ≠ Perfect Yes, as Christians, we are not perfect. Only God is perfect. I've come to a point where I know I will never be 100% happy and satisfied with people. Be it family, my parents, my sister (especially on FB haha!), my relatives... Be it friends, from the closest to new ones... Be it even church, from leaders to just the members, even in E Zone and E8... I have never failed to be at least once disappointed by any one of them. But I've learnt to accept them for who they are, and more than that, learnt to love and trust them. I may not have perfect parents, but they were always there for me. Literally. Never failed to be. I may not have a perfect sister, but she has always cared especially during my down times. I may not have perfect relatives, but when one family member goes down, they are all there. I may not have perfect friends, but they were the greatest friends I've found thus far. JY may not be perfect, but because of him I learnt to grow in loving and relating to people. Fu Rong and Keegan may not be too, but they never fail to cheer me up. Quek may not agree with me all the time, but he has never judged nor rejected me. Valerie may be a bit irritating at times (OH YEAH!), but she's a real great friend, I emphasize REAL. AnnLynn may be mean and numbering my hairs all the time, but she's just simple and pleasant. HR may be so funny until we sometimes cannot stand him, but that's what we like about him. (HAHA!) E8 too... We may be weak in many ways, but we are strong in many ways too... We may not be fast-growing, but we have convictions that root us deeply in God's house... We may not be very normal because of our crap, but that's how we like it :D And of course... My leaders and I may miscomm and misunderstand each other sometimes... But regardless of such things as these, they have never lost their trust for me. At times I thought they have, but the truth is they have never gave up on nor even doubted me. HOGC is not a perfect church. But HOGC is MY perfect home. People may ask what still keeps me here for so long? Why am I still here after so much disappointments from people? How am I able to trust again? Because despite an imperfect family in Christ, I have a perfect God. My emotions don't depend on my leaders, my friends, my CG or anyone else... but Him alone. My feelings aren't affected by people's imperfection, but always comforted by my Father's perfection. No more being dependent on people. No more being independent with pride. God-dependence yo. PES B L1... So what? I think I'm ready for army. :) |
