A Week At MPBL

It had been one week since I arrived at Maktab Perguruan Batu Lintang(MPBL). What a relieved. I hope I can become a professional teacher after 6 years.

I am for the Lord Recovery!

Being Full of Mercy toward Others

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bible Verses ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Matt 7:1 Do not judge, that you be not judged. (2) For with
what judgment you judge, you shall be judged; and with what
measure you measure, it shall be measured to you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you show mercy toward others, you will receive mercy. But
if you measure others without mercy, then you will also be
measured without mercy. With what measurement you mete, it
will be measured to you. Mercy does not do any measuring. This
means that mercy imposes no requirements. Anything that
requires a measurement is not mercy. Mercy is absolutely
blind. Why do you treat me so well when I am so pitiful? It is
because you are merciful toward me.

Sometimes, by the Lord’s mercy, I have been merciful toward
others. Afterwards some of my children, whose eyes were so
clear about the situation, said to me, "Daddy, don’t you know
how poor this person is? Why were you so good to him?" I was
good to him because I was blind. My children, however, were
very clear-sighted. But those who are so clear- sighted cannot
be merciful. We, the kingdom people, must be blind in dealing
with others. If so, we shall be merciful to them and always
take care of them. Whenever my children asked me why I was
kind to those who did not deserve kindness, I answered, "You
don’t know what I am doing. Your eyes are too big and clear.
Why did I treat him that way? It was because I was considerate
of him." This is the principle of the kingdom people in
dealing with others. For us to deal with others, we must
consider them, sympathize with them, and be merciful toward
them. The kingdom people must take care of others in their
dealings with them.

Final Post Before Leaving For Kuching

I will be leaving for Kuching tomorrow (3/7) after the Lord’s Day meeting in Bintangor.

I will miss Sarikei as well though I was born in Marudi(unknow to you?).

By the way, many things happened when I was packing my thing. But I experience the Lord more with situation that happened. Praise the Lord for His move in me!

Caring for Others by Not Judging Them

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bible Verses ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Matt 7:1 Do not judge, that you be not judged. (2) For with
what judgment you judge, you shall be judged; and with what
measure you measure, it shall be measured to you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The kingdom people, living in a humble spirit under the
heavenly ruling of the kingdom, always judge themselves, not
others. The Lord’s word about not judging lest we be judged
does not seem to be a word about taking care of others.
However, when we probe into this word, we see that it actually
means to take care of others. When you are about to judge
others, instead you must take care of them.

Are you afraid of being judged? If you are, then you should
realize that others are also afraid of being judged. Do you
feel bad about being judged by others? If you do, then you
should know that others also feel bad about being judged by
you. No one likes to be judged. If you do not like to be
judged, then what about others? You need to take care of them.
If you are afraid of being judged, then you must consider
others, who also are afraid of being judged. Always take care
of others.

Under the heavenly ruling of the kingdom, the kingdom people
will be judged with what they judge. If they judge others with
righteousness, they will be judged by the Lord with
righteousness. If they judge others with mercy, they will be
judged by the Lord with mercy. Do not judge others so much,
for you will be judged in the same degree that you judge
others. If you take care of others, you will not be judged by
them.
