Dilemma

Have you ever felt the moment where you totally feel like giving someone a kick in the butt or a tight slap on the face?

Yep, that's me now. I've been fuming and am still super angry at a certain someone. I was just having a discussion with a friend that maybe we should send the "deadly" notice to him/her. Honestly, it feels super cruel and my heart is aching just thinking about it but we have been too kind.

It's a torture each time such thing happens and him/her not being a help to anything just makes things worst. It happens over and over again. But yet, I can't tell the person straight in the face.

I was just sharing with my church youths about King Saul and David. David had every opportunity to kill Saul when he as in the cave where David was hiding. Yet, David did not and the people that were with him were like, "Yay, kill him. Now's your chance." He didn't but let God deal with Saul. In the end, Saul  killed himself a few chapters later.

But the point being is that David showed Saul mercy and compassion. Jesus showed compassion to those who wanted took him to the cross. I still get upset just thinking about the person and wonder if he/she knows how we feel. There will always be people in this world who are just insensitive and unaware that what they do, is just a pain. For a very long time in my life, I have not called anyone "stupid" or "idiotic" but that was one of the rare moments in my life that I used it. It is definitely not a vulgar word but you know, imagine calling someone stupid. How much damage could be done to a person's self esteem?

I can only ask for God's wisdom to deal with this person. Hopefully, when we talk, things will get better and improve if not that "deathly" notice will come I guess or give him/her the choice to walk out?
