Family Fiasco...John 4:19 -21

"We love because He first loved us. If anyone say, "I love God," & hates his brother [detests, abominates), he is a liar for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment (charge order, injunction) We have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother."1 John 4:19-21

Can change verbs : Sister/Name of relative or friends in Christ

First day of Lunar New, I ended up heated words with my mum & Dad. I had 'horned' many dangerous drivers on the road or should it be away around? O' Godwyn what happened, why were there such much frustrations, that's the work of the Devil trying really hard to break the bonding of the family as we finally went for a Church service as a family. Satan wants to remove the seeds before such grow...

As my sister was the last want to leave the car, I witnessed 3 doors of the vehicle was closed & I wanted to shut the last door, she came out late, I unintentionally hit her hand. You know what was the first reaction without listening to any explanation? My mum threw away all the mandarin oranges onto the road, created a scene, sitting down on the payment of car park. My sister is the princess of not the house, the World & the Universe...crowned by Mother...

She is the only daughter in the family, I understand naturally, she might be 'spoilt' in some sense. My parents then had not received Salvation while raising my sister, how I wish I can share the Proverbs 22:15 "Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of discipline will remove it far from him." What about the next line, Proverbs 23:13 hold back discipline from the child, Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die. You shall strike him with the rod And rescue his soul from Sheol." I am bless to receive the blessing of the rod since young.

I attended FCBC's church services in the morning as New Creation was at indoor stadium, starting 4.30 p.m, not really a good timing for the festive season. In Lunar New Year, the chinese will visit families as a custom, fellowship or 'gossip'. Have you watched the show "I am not stupid, Part II?" It is quite amazing how Jack Neo relates our daily life, where a child seldom get compliments but just nagging, overkill their confidence, interest & family life. Parents are constantly looking for their Child's faults, seldom praise, just nag. Proverbs 21:9 "It is better to live in a corner of a roof. Than in a house shared with a contentious woman."

Oh for my incident, my mum did not even nag, she went 'insane', before my syster started crying, my mum threw all the bags of oranges on the street as I describe before, I did no know was she targeting me or her skill was really bad as Praise God, no orange on me! Ha-ha No Weapons shall form against me in the name of Amen?! Christ Jesus! It was a small incident but it depends of the parties involvement & how space they need to cool down & think with a right mind. Jesus is the prince of peace, I pray that I have His ways in me daily...Do you?

Fixed your eyes on Jesus.

God's forgiveness through Christ's death is the motivation and the model for your forgiveness of others. If God has forgiven you, how can you refuse to forgive someone who has wronged you?

And your forgiveness, like God's, is a gift of grace, free to the recipient yet costly to the giver.

Amen Brother!
