pop lo

Owing to the Grace of God, I finally pop-ed.

Throughout this 13 weeks. I have learnt so much more.
Truly, the Bible has taught us to be wise as serpents but as gentle as doves.

This is really the verse that carried me throughout the 13 weeks.
Many times, I did stupid things but God really brought me out of the fire because of the wisdom He gave.

4 types of ppl can be found (Christians included)

1 Wise as Serpents and not gentle like a dove.
This ppl are the scariest. They are the type that what the Chinese calls as 心机.
They can be your best friend for now, but turn ur back and you find a knife in your back.

2. Not as wise as a serpent but gentle as a dove.
They are great ppl to hang out with. They are what we always feel that they are very pure.
But never will they have a powerful impact in many things. And they often look clueless.
But this are the ppl whose hearts will always be open for God to touch them and change their lives. Give them the wisdom that they need.

3. NOT wise, NOT gentle.
Hallelujah.. They are the typical ah beng figures. Usually they are the loudmouth ones.

(The quotation, "As empty vessels make the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest blabbers," is from the Greek philosopher Plato.)

They will always boast of their affiliations with this group and that group.. BUT they are usually the foot soldiers that gets exploited.

4. Matthew 10:16 (BBE)

See, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Be then as wise as snakes, and as gentle as doves

This is the verse that reminds me of what to do. With this, we will be more like Jesus. This is how He cared for the multitudes, how He even rebuke the pharisees. This is the Jesus' way.
