Positive thoughts for 2010

A recent discussion with friends on Facebook, a friend's post on "superiority" and "judging", as well as a chance encounter with Luke 6:37, made me realise I might be too much of a mean person of late.

" 37Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. "

I'd admit I haven't been actively following Jesus' footsteps in recent years, and although I've always tried to be nice to people, there are some difficult personalities I dismiss with a wave of the hand.

So, with the bits of advice from Friend 1, 2, and 3, and a new fresh look on my blog, I resolve to judge less, condemn less and forgive more.

Two thousand years after and before the Lord has come into existence, services to mankind and the animal kingdom have changed. The teachings appropriate to the Lord's era has brought to light the wonders of his examplary teachings, the joy and peace in spirit of knowing his words.
But to follow his footsteps will be his call. Every human born and created will do the work in the secular world or to service his work in the Holy Places will be God's will.
Comments can be construed as judging and adverse comments can be taken as condemning. So we have to learn to accept and tolerate words or actions not to our liking. Most importantly to forgive and never allow arguments and disputes harbour inside our hearts till even the sunset.

As we ask the Lord to forgive for our shortcomings, we pray that he will give us wisdom and guide us through our daily lives.
We pray that the Lord bless you and restore your body, mind and soul and that you will be blessed with "bundle of joy" , you and loved ones been waiting for.
