Hey, how's it going? Now with the formalities out of the way, I shall share about something. At first, I didn't really know what to share. But then something hit me during the week.
Well, in my class, there is this girl who is socially awkward. And because the other class informed our Personal Tutor about this little situation, the class leader had to make her feel welcome. But in my opinion, she and us (the class) were on different wavelengths. We were just very different people from different sides of the world. Then, I saw that my classmates went all out of the way to make her feel comfortable. And I felt that is was unnecessary because if she will feel out of place, and if we wanted to make her feel comfortable, we had to somewhat put on a front, which was tiring and not worth while.

Moreover, she was not really making the effort to gel with the class, for example, she doesn't go to lunch with us. So at the back of my mind, I was thinking, do we have to go out of the way and countlessly invite her??
THEN BOOM... I realised that is what God taught us, and He himself is a example of His word. How many times did God go out of the way for us? Countless! So i realised that we as Christians should do as we are taught.
Even if we are dreading to do it, we still have to make a small effort, then God can do the rest, as long as we have a willing heart. Trust me, inside I am killing myself to be nice to her. But I am learning....still learning.
Well that was the end of this week's big story, I hope that it did us some good:D
what we could have been, 4:57 AM.
