i used to not care about what ppl think of me very much. and i think that's the motto of most successful ppl. because when you care to much there are just to many hindrances and you get carried away. recent years especially it gets from bad to worst, i get very uneasy if i know there just a little tiny bit of tension between me and anyone. i wouldnt sleep well, i might get a bit depress, i become very restless and after suppressing myself the whole day with work i will end my day wishing like my work i can press the 'undo' button to how i last like it. i couldnt really understand why im so affected and i dont really like myself giving in when i should be giving a cold shoulder. today when i read the message version of this scripture it all suddenly make sense.
The old life is gone; a new life burgeons! Look at it! All this comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other. God put the world square with himself through the Messiah, giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins. God has given is the task of telling everyone what he is doing. We're Christ representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God's work of making things right between them. 1 corinthians 5:16-20

the uneasy feeling is good, it causes me to want a a real peace. God is in the business of making things right. amen.
