Wednesday, April 7, 2010 Would like to repost this note by Karen jiejie(: it is a summary about the sermon by Rev chan- Remember to forget. Karen: Hey guys, I would like to share about the sermon by Rev Chan Fong today. It'll be his last sermon as the official senior rev of Grace Church. It's sad... but I guess God has His timing... and his sermon has moved me in many many ways. ALL OF US HAVE WOUNDS YET TO BE HEALED. Indeed. As much as it is not visible from the exterior, we have wounds that are yet to be healed. There are harsh or unfair words that have have pierced us so deeply that we will remember for the rest of our lives. There are so many things that can make us bitter and reluctant to dig into the past. But God says, wounds are there, and only I can heal. REMEMBER TO FORGET. What a short yet apt description of what we need to do to forgive. Joseph has been betrayed, hurt, forgotten and maligned. Who has better reason NOT to fogive than him?! Yet, he sees God's plan in all the unfortunate things happening to him, and waited upon the Lord. Finally, he put the pieces together and see God's plan in God's eyes. FORGIVENESS IS RELIEF. Forgiving is the only way of relief. Bitterness, rage, anger etc are never a way out. It not only hurts others around us, but hurt ourselves the most. 31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. (Ephesians 4:31-32) Lastly, I want to end my sharing with a song's lyrics. It's called "Today" Today, I cast my cares and pray. Today, Lord help me see your grace. In all my bitterness and rage, Oh my God, may today be the day. May I give up my pride and hear you say, Forgive and forget, just as Jesus Christ forgave. So let it go, my heart, let it go. Who am I to judge when I'm forgiven. May today be the day, I fogive. Indeed. May TODAY be the day.... ky Posted by Karen jiejie on facebook - (: Thank You karen jiejie for sharing! wingyan at 1:12 AM
