What goes around comes around

What goes around comes around
I think you guys always hear this phrase, what goes around comes around, you reap what you sow, sow a whirlwind reap a storm and the list goes on..... we can easily put in words and condemn others but have we not see ourselves in others shoe or more importantly in God's eyes. What would God will us to do? Sometimes I forget myself and wonder off track and forgotten that we can always seek God's will thru the Holy Spirit because St Paul says our body is the temple of the holy spirit! Isn't that a wonderful reminder after a stressful day at work in a secularised world.
This week is Holy Week so we must reflect and remind ourselves to rise with a new life in Christ during Easter. Lent is for us to prepare for Easter to look forward to a new life in Christ, out with the old and in with the new. We should discard our old bad habits and bad attitude and remind ourselves to improve.

So we always ask ourselves how Jesus who is sinless and divine can overcame his animosity towards His enemies who crucified him on the cross?

Below is a meaningful paragraph from Archbishop William Goh daily reflection

"Perhaps, Jesus never regarded His betrayer as a betrayer. That is to say, those who betray us ultimately betray themselves. Yes, people who are so easily tempted by personal gain and go on to betray their loved ones and benefactors only show themselves up to be the kind of persons they are. Indeed, it is said that there is no need for any punishment for sin because sin itself is the punishment. That is why Jesus did not feel angry with Judas for betraying Him. When Jesus said, “Woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed,” He said it out of sorrow for Judas. This is because Jesus knew that Judas would suffer in the long run. Indeed, in trying to destroy Jesus for his personal gain, Judas ended up destroying himself."
