Those things that we have no control of or can't be done within our power, let's lift them up to the Lord. He'll take care of it. Let Him be our strength and strong foundation so we'll not be easily flooded and wash away by the frustrations, pains, fears, and trials in our life.

The other day, I got angry with this person who's really close to me. We got into an ugly verbal dispute. When it's over, I wasn't able to contain what I feel and I cried so hard afterwards. All those time that I was hurting and cannot understand why it all went out of hand, I prayed to God. I moved on after then. I told myself I would repeatedly make mistake and when I did, I would repeatedly condemn myself. But remembering that only God can judge me, and this good God won't condemn me, I forgive myself as well as that person who, unknowingly, tried to shake my faith. I know it would take a while before we'll be in good terms again but not talking would be good for us for the meantime. We both know that. Sometimes, you needed space to heal and give space for someone to heal as well. And by healing I mean to be a different person from that person who would easily hurt another person. To be stronger so as not to let your anger control you or let the "mean guy" who's always waiting for the chance to pull you away from God to control you. I feel better now. Before, when something bad happens or when I did something wrong, I would feel destroyed for some time and it would be hard for me to see the beauty in the world and its people. But now, in spite of all the hurtful exchange of words, I continue to care for that person I got into a fight with and I would continue to pray for the goodness of that person. Because that is where our foundation stands when God's words is a permanent fixture in us. That night, I was telling myself that it's alright to be angry. But then I realize it’s only okay if your anger can free you or the others from the chain you’re lock in. But most of the time it's like in the case of what Tom Hanks said in "You've Got Mail". He said, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could pass all my zingers to you? And then I would never behave badly and you could behave badly all the time, and we'd both be happy. But then, on the other hand, I must warn you that when you finally have the pleasure of saying the thing you mean to say at the moment you mean to say it, remorse inevitably follows."

The moment you let the "mean guy" control you, remorse comes after. Especially if you love that person you've treated badly or you've hurled bad words on.

I would like to add, this morning, I told a friend about what I think of unshakable faith. I quoted this to her: "LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS. IT'S ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."

I was reminded by this beautiful quote by the audio I was listening to this morning from Victory Fort site with the topic “Why are you afraid?” I was moved by the pastor’s talk on the story of Jesus calming the storm as his small group, mostly fishermen, panicked on the sudden squall that hit them in the middle of the sea. They are fishermen alright but when the storm hit them as they’re in their boat, they got so afraid and they don’t know what to do. So they woke Jesus up, and Jesus calmed the storm so easily and all went back to normal.

"Why are you afraid?" That’s the question. Even if Jesus is with you, why are you afraid? Why do you panic when things change or things don't work out the way you want it to be? Why do you easily lose your temper when something went wrong, why do you get angry with someone so easily, why do you match mean with mean, why do you easily get frustrated with the bad situation you suddenly got into? That’s when I realize, though I know how to dance, I haven’t really learn to dance in the rain when there's a storm. My faith is still easily shaken. I am not always following Jesus. I may have embraced His words but it dispel from me and I forget about it especially on moments when it should be applied. I admit that. I have to admit that because not knowing and not accepting my weaknesses, my faults, and what lacks in me, I can’t change to be like Christ. It dawned on me why, why we really needed more of Jesus in our lives, why we needed to come to Jesus.
