Back to momentum

I'm back to momentum. Went to precept and taught two students; going to teach my last student. I thank God for His gentleness on correcting myself. At least now I know I have overreacted in my previous relationship. My humility wasn't there, etc, etc.

He sent a mother of two sons (age 30 and 27) from precept class to share with me her past and how she encountered being tested: her tv-obsessed son with plunged grades forced her to leave a British leading bank company as a SEA regional director position. Her position in the corporate world gave her so much pride that she found it hard to be humble. After praying for eight whole months, she finally accepted God's will to leave her "high" life for a much higher life - being a mother. Thankfully, her husband owns a company and allows her to work from home as one of the co-owner of his company. Now her sons are zealous for God and one even become a youth leader.

She mentioned that her family status was unstable because husband keeps giving in to her. With God's grace, she maintained humility and her family is in a spiritually-healthy family. I truly praise God for that. I know the importance of being a submissive wife, but I only have one question for her: what to do if he strays away from God? She said that we should only pray. I later realised by ordering them to correct themselves is not our job; it's God's job. Who are we to correct? We are sinners alike. It's like the pot calling the kettle black. Only God's righteousness can correct, but we are to remind; not order, demand or quarrel about it. It'll only tell us that we are not submissive.

I guess it applies to all brothers and sisters in Christ. I remember telling this to one of a sister in Christ when she felt disappointed in some leaders and her disciples. That's the exact stuff I told her, but once the people involved change, the circumstances change to. This should not be the way. We are to treat everyone like our own brothers and sisters, even spouses alike.

I thank God for such a sister in Christ. She had just dissipated my bitterness into the thin air.
