Humiliation vs Love



I was reading the book of Mathews in the Bible and was on CHAPTER 26, which is titled the "the Plot to kill Jesus", basically the CHAPTER narrates how Jesus was delivered to the authorities for his crucifixion.
It involved betrayal, humiliation, painful and shameful death for Jesus to give his love for us, to save us, to make sure that we still have a chance of direct relationship with God.Meditating about this made me learn that, in our day to day, this is almost the same thing happening in many different ways as follows;
  •  The most painful betrayal a person can get is from the people they love most and sometimes most betrayals come from the closest people to you, that know you well. Now the difference is that Jesus knew who was going to betray him and yet he just sat wit him calmly but the moment we know who will betray us we become so bitter, our love is tested and we sometimes want to cut off the relationship, but then this is what it means to love, sometimes you got bare it, forgive and still love them. when people love you, please be loyal.+-
  • Void promises. The People that you love the most will tend make promises to you and say this and that, some swear,, but most of the times they never come through or stick with us with what they promised, especially when faced with challenges. They will be the first to run away from you, or leave you alone. Look at how Peter said will not denie Jesus, but did it three times. I no longer believe in human promises, and i do not promise to others. 
  • Humiliation comes from people we love the most, the ones we care about the most. Because when you care about others the most, they tend to hurt you the most when they don't care about you, and sometimes they tend to take it for granted and don't see the damage they are doing to you.Mathew 26:67-68(Then they spit in his face and struck him. And some slapped him,saying, "Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it that struck you?") they mocked him and humiliated him in their best possible way but still his love for them never changed. And so when people show me love am going to give them love and care instead of humiliating them.

In order to achieve something great in life,you need to be ready to take some chances that might be quite hard, challenging and even fearful. Life is not that straight as we all want it to be. Most of the times people know what they want and what they should do but they are always afraid of taking chances, putting their vulnerability on the line because of the outcomes that are unknown but also could turn to be very positive. They find it easy staying in their comfort zone, overestimate the question of "what could go wrong'' and exaggerate the consequences of what might happen if it goes wrong'' and then we miss the step. Taking risks can give us a lot of benefits than we mostly think as follows, Taking risks opens our minds to new challenges and new opportunities that we have always been eyeing and haven't taken a step to. For example i am very shy person and i really don't know how to speak publicly, infarct i can faint when told to give a public sp...

SUrVing The StorM

Life is definitely not a straight journey, it comes with all form of packages that can be interesting, surprising and breaking. We are constantly learning new things everyday and sometimes when we think we know it all, the wonder of them all explodes on our face. We are human beings and so humanity comes with error. It comes with the unexpected from those we never expected, but honestly if we all held the thought and understanding that we are human beings and so we are prone to change then no one can really surprise us by anything they do or don't do. Nature can not be controlled too and things can come and take away what we think we have, there can be natural disasters , accidents or anything that takes away our peace of mind, that cost us financially or that takes our time or are so hurtful.  The question is how do we survive in times of trouble?where do we go?what does our mind tell us?whom do we turn to I have learned 5 things that help me survive any storm that ...
