from another angle...
yesterday I went to the gym, and 2 of the personal trainers chatted with me (one guy and one girl - I'll call them P & P), trying to get me to join these training programs. They told me what I was doing wrong, how I could improve, etc.
A thought struck me as I was on the MTR. Normally, people tend to judge another person by his appearance. I would have expected P & P to be the same or even worse, since they are in the industry. But my expectations were wrong. They said matter-of-factly, you could improve this if you do this, you need to work on this. I guess its because they know that a person's appearance is only a matter of getting the right training - it is easy to do, and it does not change the person inside.
I guess thats the way God is too. Appearance or wealth don't matter to him, cause he knows that those things don't change the person that we are inside. He can just send down a thunderbolt and change the things I don't like about myself (like P & P who sketched out a 6 month plan to a perfect Jane). But he couldn't force me to put my hope in him, he couldn't force me to be kind to someone in need. These are the things that we can freely choose to do or not to do.

We live on different sides of the world but both love the same Jesus. Glorify God and love him forever.
Amen brother... not that I know who you are... exams all done miss jane??
Its true that God loves us and leaves us to choose how much of our life we want Him to work on.
God Bless
God is awsome. It is great that we have a free choice. That way we can choose to get closer to Him. Nice post.
that's a nice kernel of wisdom. i still can't believe it came out of gym staff tho. you know what i think about gym staff.
