REMINDER

It is really amazing how God turns a not-so-good situation into a learning experience where love will be emphasized.

Like 5 minutes ago, I was browsing my girlfriend's Facebook account. I like her shout out. It is so her. When I was scrolling down the page, I saw this comment about her post by a common friend who don't like me as a boyfriend to my girlfriend. I've been hearing sarcasms from her since the time my girlfriend and I got back together.

It was okay with me until a little while ago because of her comment. For the past few days I have been telling my girl just to ignore her and the the other people who are boldly confessing that I am no good for her until I saw that specific comment which is very unnecessary and unsolicited.

I was struggling the very few minutes I saw it - struggling whether to correct her "thought" or just let it go. Minutes passed and the struggle became more intense and harder; and so, I prayed. See, I don't want to sound self-righteous or what, I was just really upset and wanted to fight back. So that God may enlighten my mind which was being clouded with anger and revenge, I prayed. Gradually I began to calm down starting from the inside. I thought there was no use if i would reply to her statement. I thought the issue would just get bigger. I worried about her (my girl) getting hurt if the "issue" progresses. I kept my piece and sighed deeply.

Few minutes after, I got reminded of one important thing: they are not enemies but siblings in faith. I thought I would definitely regret it if I have chosen to wage war against them and not just let go of the issue. I thanked God for helping me become calm and steady and collected. Yeah, collected! :)

Before we say anything it is really much better to think twice, thrice or twenty times before letting those words come out from our mouths. We're supposed to be peacemakers not fire-starters.
