I was there, listening to the baby's cries, as the simple child was being poked by a needle, for some special medication needs. My colleagues, especially one of my close friends, she was there, dun want to see, felt like crying and said dun feel like doing it anymore.
She was lying her forehead on my shoulder, and I said,
"let's go out."
That baby was only 22 days old. The mother heard the crying of the child, was standing outside there, with red swollen eyes and nose - presymptoms of crying. And I was asking her whether is she okay or not. Her frustration was vented on me slightly, saying "Don't ask me whether okay or not!"
I was there, saw a nures came out and asked her whether want to go and get a tissue for her. Well, she didn't say much, and I went ahead with my action, going to that mother with a tissue.
Out of expected, the mother rejected the tissue and don't care about anything, saying, " I do not need, go away."
Ahh... shucks. Of course I don't like that.
I was wondering,
Did I do anything wrong?
Why did I smile to the mother, when I was walking out of the room and that mother was waiting outisde?
And why is my heart felt that way instead of feeling the heart pain?
Holy Spirit asked me this, Don't feel heart break when you heard the sound of the crying baby?
I was asking myself, why should I felt a heartbreak?
I believe it's necessary for the baby to have that needle because, without that the baby can't recovered. Is my heart being hardened?
And the cries of the baby, this time, shaken my heart slightly. I looked into her eyes, and my heart was was there and shaken once again, saying it is necessary for her to recover.
I was smiling there, knowing that the baby will recover and hoping that my smile will not worsen the day of the mother.
Her current suffering is little in my heart, but her recovery and better state of her was my greatest joy. :)
That was my thoughts.
Sometimes, things that we are doing may seems wrong, well God make the wrongs to be right most the time. Wrong things at right timing, seems to be the best.
Another thing is, He did told us, but we didn't listen to Him.
Well, it makes things that seems to be logically right, well, is it right for the correct standard of God?
God reveals slowly to me about empathy, which I seems to miss out. I confessed and I repent.
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”- John 8:12
My God, my light, lead my heart to you. :)
6I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! 9As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned! Galatians 1: 6 to 9
Nick speaks of the simplicity of Bible. So does here.
A powerful testimony was shared. Simple, no sophisticated words. Just some simple language.
Like how Christ shared simple knowledge to the children and adults, before He shared the bread and fish of the child to feed the thousands.
Nothing is more stronger for Holy Spirit to work on weakness. (:
My weaknesses are submitted to Him, for me to go towards His standard of perfection.
11Finally, brothers, good-by. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. 2 Corinthians 13: 11.
thank God for everything.

Today, I need to repent on another thing, that is my disbelief.
Power in prayers come when one believes it's powerful.
Not only beliefs, but believing it will become powerful, more than what it is.
I confessed and repent.
