SPOILT BRATS.

Was driving YQ and Alicia back home from the Hillsongs deligates' meeting at Pastor's place and we realised all three of us (minus Mummy) are only childs. Spoilt brats, in other words. My mind, somehow or another, changed it into a Christian context and hey, I realised something.

ALL OF US (yes, including you reading this), are spoilt brats.

Let me analyze it in an earthly way first. When our parents are so patient and forgiving towards us, we take it for granted and push them to their limits even further. When our parents provide us with so much, we ask for more. When our parents plans certain things for us for our sake and we don't like them, we say they're being unfair by not giving us freedom of choice. When our parents scold us or try to correct our mistakes, we say thay don't love us.

Now the Godly way. We've been blessed by God's Grace and Mercy so much we often take it for granted. God has blessed and provided us with so much and yet we always ask for more, most of the time still unsatisfied. When things don't go our way but in God's way (for the better of us), we whine and complain God's being unfair. When certain things/disasters/disagreements/mishaps happen, we say God don't love us anymore.

Agree?

yupz, disatisfaction brings improvement, and satisfaction brings happiness, so choose which one?

I think there is a balance in these things...we should be wise to choose whether to strife for improvement, or just smile and be satisfied

wilson - Yepyep. But what I meant by unsatisfied was materialistically. Haha.

Well, cases in point, see the Israelites before reaching the promise land. Even though we have the history to study from, we still repeat it.
