Attitude

I guess i have to be a bit more calm. The title, or part of the main focus or "theme" of the day seems to be "Attitude". "My attitude", to be exact. Let's review what happened...

1. Our Daily Bread. Here's today's passage:
Truth That Transforms
Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead. —John 21:14

Truth is truth even if it doesn’t seem to affect our lives directly. But the truth that God gives us in the Bible not only opens heaven’s door for us, it also changes our lives.

Ron Sider, a leading evangelical advocate for the poor, tells about a conversation he had with German theologian Wolfhart Pannenberg. As they were discussing the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, the theologian emphatically declared, “The evidence for Jesus’ resurrection is so strong that nobody would question it except for two things: It is a very unusual event, and second, if you believe it happened, you have to change the way you live.”

That’s a challenging statement. If we really believe Jesus rose again, that belief mandates a change of life. Peter’s life was turned upside-down after he saw the resurrected Christ. Once an impetuous fisherman-disciple who denied even knowing Christ after His arrest, he became a bold witness for Him (John 18:17,25,27; Acts 2:14-36).

Has belief in Jesus’ resurrection changed your life? Are your goals and priorities different than they were? Are you kinder, more patient, more forgiving? Ask God what He wants to do in you, and then cooperate with Him in that change. —Vernon C Grounds

We want to do great things,
O Lord,To glorify Your name;
When You transform us by Your power,
We’ll never be the same. —Sper

The power that God used to raise Jesus from the dead is the same power at work in you.

It made me think, why am i still like this? There must be something missing, I should be finding out what treasure i am missing out on.

2. Wall Issue
Well, Orange Ocean seems to be "complaining" that i don't react/response soon enough to things that she shows me, be it a picture, a song or a sharing.

3. Boss' remarks
Well, after me updating him on status of things ( i hope of a good reply from him). He said that i replied too late and is disappointed of my attitude. Oh well, yeah, this is another part that i have to take note of. Always be on alert, be on standby, 24/7. The minor issue is that (there is no main issue, the fact is that i didn't reply to his mails on time, it's true) can i be somehow encouraged a bit for what i have done? Then i'll be told again that what i'm doing isn't enough at all, etc etc?

It's been a long day, the Image Processing assignment is killing me, 3 parts, part 1 still not finished yet.

On the good side, i know this is what i have to improve on, but than again, it's quite saddenning to know and feel bad every other day.

O LORD, i'm supposed to shine, yet i'm not. Forgive me, and guide me, in Your ways, so that i can really shine for You. In my relationship, in work and in all.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
