rain rain go away come again another day. little children want to play. rain rain go away.today's a rainy day. prelims are finally over! freedom at last! well.. at least for now. next week onwards gonna chiong for o levels again. feeling kinda emo cause of the rain. and this morning's sharing got me thinking. it's on e topic of confidence. e sharing was on a story of a lady..this lady( i forgot wad's her name), she's a christian. she thought that by always smiling, by always keeping her head high and shoulders back, means dat she exhibited confidence. she listens more than she speaks, gives other ppl Godly counsel. however it just didn't feel right. and one day God spoke 2 her, and she realised dat she was not at all a confident person. her outward actions were just a cover to hide her inward insecurity and her unwillingness to trust in ppl. it is aways easy to counsel ppl. however she did not have e confidence in opening herself to others. by listening more she merely gave herself an excuse to not share. she did talk, but she did not share. so often we put a smile on our faces and think dat everything is alright. actually we are unknowingly sinking deeper and deeper into a hole where e ppl in our lives are fenced off. sometimes we are jux afraid of rejection so we keep it to ourselves. the Bible has stated 365 times " do not fear". dere's 1 for each day of the year! so wad's dere to fear? hee!! ps 139:14 states.."i will praise You, for i am fearfully and wonderfully made.." i really love this verse. speaks of how unique and precious each and every one of us are. In times of trouble, Tust Him, trust the ppl around us, trust ourselves. It's so important to have confidence in God and His people. Ps9:10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You;For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
