Parents.
"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise." Ephsians 6:1 & 2
I really must thank God for His Word. Thanks to these verses i find my relationship with my parents becoming better. I guess theres really power of transformation in His Word. I used to disrespect them alot and some parts of my mind jus didnt really liked them.
They used to look down on me a couple years back calling me useless and all that because every time they see me, they see me on the computer and the times that i studied they did not see. Haha thinking back it's so foolish of me, remembering once i contemplated suicide because my dad called me a useless son. Thanks to someone i manage to come out of that. I was more determined to show them that i ain't useless and studied really hard for my Os. Managed to get a score which was as good as my sis and i guess that kinda shut them and my relatives up. However i was still rebellious and not hesitate to talk back or even shout back. I guess it's all in the past instances that made me this way.
But thank God i'm convicted and now i hold them in reverence. I'm beginning to see that they are changing too, letting me come to church and being so good to me (which i need some time to get used to). I begin to see much more of how they cared for me and their love for me. Praise the Lord for opening my eyes.
I treated my family to Cafe Cartel last night and it was great! Haha i guess it's been quite long since we've been out as a family and i just loved the funny bones we all shared (as in humor, u wont find this dish in their menu =p). I kinda think that dinner signify growth and maturity of me to them and i hope our relationships keep growing. But then again, i'll be earth's most unfilial son if i don't preach the gospel to them, and i hope God will continue to open up opportunities for me to share = D
"When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, He said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your son." and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on, this disciple took her into his home." John 26 & 27
Even near His time of death, amidst all His suffering and pain on the cross, He cared for His earthly mother....
