chin up

My dad was right.
I was complacent.
God despise the complacent but exalts the humble.
It wasn't comfortable to listen because the truth is painful.

But i'm really thankful for my dad.
Sometimes u really wish people will point that out to you.
Your blind spot and weaknesses.
But if it's people who is not close who says that to me, i MIGHT be offended and feel judged because i think the person don't even know me well. However people whom you know who really cares about you and are geniunely concern about you, you know what they say is really for the best of you.
I thank all those people whom God placed in my life who geniunely cares about me.

It become a startling reminder that before i correct anyone, does the person feel love and concern from me or felt judged by me?
If it's the latter, it really does backfire as the person will be super defensive, miss the point where i'm coming from and even hates me. Bearing hatred leads to other more repercussion. Though sometimes by God's grace ultimately the person still knows u care, but that's after a long painful period of reconcilation.

Anyway the main point is,
a broken and contrite heart you will not despise.

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
