Doing Right - even if it hurts Doing what is right even if it hurts. This is very important. That's how we grow and how we 'force' ourselves out of our comfort zones. Too many times, too many people are guilty of just letting things pass. Myself included. Sometimes, we choose not to do what is right because.... 1) Not convenient 2) Hate confrontation 3) Stubborn/Unrepentant - "Did I do anything wrong? No leh...." 4) "What's the point of doing what is right? Will anything change? *mope mope mope*...." But trust me, it's gonna feel good on the inside after that. Because truth in itself brings peace and comfort to the soul. That sort of peace is something we cannot buy or obtain from any other methods. =) And you will find that the whole roller coaster ride can finally end. Full stop. Sometimes, we need to apologize when we don't feel like it. We need to undo what we did wrong, even if it's gonna be troublesome. We need to correct others, even if we hate to confront people. We need to be firm, when we are tempted to compromise. We need to be strong, when there is every right to be in self-pity and depression. We need to be forward-looking when we feel like stagnating. We need to be humble, when we have every right to be arrogant and complacent. We need to CHANGE and CHALLENGE ourselves, when we feel what we have is enough, and it's good to be at status quo. I am reminded of Psalms 15:4-5. [NKJV] "In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honors those who fear the LORD; He who swears to his own hurt and does not change; He who does not put out his money at usury, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved." Be an ambassador of righteousness today. You don't have to be a court judge or a lawyer in order to be that. Stand up for justice and for what is right. Simply because truth is worth that sacrifice. It all starts from the inside - your belief and attitude towards life. And like the verse says, may it become something that 'does not change' and will 'never be moved' in your life. Yes- even if it costs you, you will not be moved. TRUTH is WORTH that cost. It is part of God's plan of restoration in the new world to all who believe in that. We need to be a people with a righteous spirit when in the new world. Everyone is a fighter in that new place. Everyone is unafraid to do what's right. Swear to your own hurt....you will find it worth it but not until you have actually done it. Trust me. Just do it. Labels: contemplative, revelation 3:01 AM
