Hello there ,everyone! I know you could see my blogs in my other site http://bookevin.multiply.com/ . Well, my focus here is solely just my blogs. In my website, I post random stuffs like music and other stuffs. I will also be updating my blogs there. In some cases, you might see a different blogs there and here, so be sure to visit my website too. My blogs is all just about random stuffs. Mostly are all about books and some are my personal thoughts.
It was a usual facebooking night for me: looking for notifications, replying to friends who posted on my wall, and watching videos that were posted by my friends on faceboook. I happened to bump into this video; it strummed my heartstrings. Check it out.
I'm the kind of person who holds grudges when a person hurts me so bad. Metaphorically speaking, my emotions are like sensitive skin. When you hurt it, it will leave a scar. Every time I see the scar, I will remember the face of the person who did that wound to me. On the other hand, I will let what happened to die, yet the grudge on me will remain alive. To make it clear, past is past, but don't expect me to say "hi", "good morning", "how are you", and so on when we happen to cross our paths. This video, however, is pushing me to change my ways. The big question is "HOW?" According to Mary Karen Read, "When deep injury is done to us, we never recover until we forgive. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future". Absolutely, it does enlarge the future, but what are the ways to forgive? In my case, a scar is a scar. Even time can't heal scars. Can forgiveness heal scars? Furthermore, as we can see in the video, the father gave multiple stab of sins to his son that left his son wounded. People in the real world will label the father "murderer", "killer", and other offensive label that we can think of. Some people might tend to say "That kind of person is not welcome to the kingdom of God. He will burn to hell!". But in the video, who is the son, who is a victim of a ruthless happenings done by his father, not to forgive his father? The son is only a human. A human who can forgive the person who injured him badly. It means that God who is the beginning of everything can also forgive. It means that no matter how big the sin that you have done, God will welcome you in his kingdom with open arms, as well as our family. Logically speaking, who are we not to forgive?
