lately ive been seeing allot of catchy "witty" 1 liners on msn personal msg and facebook like. coincidence seems to be the root behind this flurry of "wise" sayings.

"there is always a gain in every sacrifice made"

"God is too wise to be mistaken, God is too good to be unkind"



i wonder if people really believe what they put up... not being cynical, and i am not, but do consider if these theories even hold.

always a gain... (? hah.)
to what extent is this gain compared to the sacrifice? is this not the half full-half empty cup stretched further even? the cup is both half full and half empty- inability to see it both, or maybe the refusal to see both views, results in a then distorted view of the entire situation.. right?
both views, after all, are true- are they not?
can u imagine a person who has a perpetual half-full mentality- from birth?
and i dont prefer a persistant pessimist either.


"there is always a gain in every sacrifice made". i really scoffed when i saw this. i was annoyed even.
if hypothetically, i had a sister.. and we were walking by the roadside. and a car stops nearby and some guys drags her into the car. Without thinking thoroughly,only with flashing thoughts of pkidnap and rape, purely reflex action, I jump into the car to try to stop them. One of them pushes me out of the car and i get hit by oncoming traffic and die. and she?

i remind you, hypothetical:
I sacrificed. where is the gain?

Now another scenario:
A suicide bomber sacrifices himself for the cause, there is gain for his side. Victorious and glorious gain. His side celebrates.

gain isnt always good.

are these examples too extreme?

A guy dumps a girl who he's been dating for 6 years. Sacrifices were definately made in the duration of the relationship, on both sides, commonly, one more than the other. The girls now 31.
Where then is the gain?
"they both learnt something"
yeah..learnt the existance of selfishness and an emotion called sorrow.
and of courses other things too.
Gain: "Growing through the pain" they say- but do the gains justify the sacrifices?

Still too extreme?


I throw a superball (those small bouncy balls) from the 10th floor as an experiment. I am willing to sacrifice it to test the bouncability (:p) of the ball. It hits a darn small rock which changes its trajectory and it flies to some strange unknown location.
Gain : Dont do stupid experiments, dont waste kickass toys like superballs. but no experimental results.
loss : funz toiyz


"God is too wise to be mistaken, God is too good to be unkind"

too good to be unkind? is that possible?
wonder what do u guys think...




i think.. ive been abit disappointed lately with so many things.. including myself.




Rom 8:28
"²⁸And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

"all things..works for the good.."

If your parents hit you to discipline you, would you say "oh so thats so kind of you. hit somemore, show me your kindness"?

but u know its out of love and concern that they do that. It is for. your. good.
Because parents who dont discipline their child (however the methods) dont love their child. Indifferent parents.

Likewise, God disciplines us. But that doesnt mean you are not held responsible for the wrong doing and in angering them. U are deserving of it, or more even.



God IS good. and above that, He loves us, thats why he sent Jesus in the first place. Else, why bother?


God is omniscient. mistaken? never.
God is love. through Christ, the preserver.
underserving- the hopeless receiver,
of mercy, grace, from the woodcarver
forever.
woodcarver- lol.
skydiver
pendriveR..

its 4am. incoherrant.

guys- correct my thinking.
