Ah Ney

If you read this and know him, pray for him.

I hung out with Ah Ney and Gabriel today. I really love hanging out with them. Esp when Ah Ney could inspire someone like Gab and me. What a night! We hung out at Far East Plaza's BK then we went to HMV where I found my POD's Warriors EP Vol 2. But wow wow... I am praying for Jason. He is such a great guy. He may not be perfect, but he has grown despite all the things that happened to him in the past 3 months or should I say past many years.

Are we not forgiving? He is experiencing this "Tough love" treatment that is being practiced and which I think it's crap. I wonder if Jesus used "tough love" treatment on his disciples. Tough love meaning giving the cold-shoulder and stuff like that. "Tough love" is no love. Esp if the person feels that way. To me the defination of "tough love" is showing love thru the show of authority, wielding the sword of accountibilty which is given to speak strongly towards the person. We have to show that sometimes, esp when someone is in grave error. This reminds me of someone who left and kept lamenting to me that the church is full of hypocrites. If only he opened his eyes, he would've seen his lack of vision is due to his inability and unwillingness to see things in the light of Christ. When people gave him a second chance, he didn't grab it. Now all he does is complain, blaming everyone except himself.

Ah Ney is not like that! The times when I feel the Lord restores him, there was a genuine change, but he is not perfect yet,. Though he slide back so many times, God has been gracious and been showing him so much grace thru the years. See, the difference between Jason and the other case I mentioned was this. Jason humbled himself and admitted his mistakes. Ok, it seems like he always does this, but each time I spoke to him the attitude became more sincere. It's not the way he said it. If you are sensitive and been hanging out with him. You could feel the spirit behind those words. It was done in complete surrender to the Lordship of Christ. I give him the benefit of the doubt, I don't say things to discourage him, but not before I said many things as usual and pray for him. Yes, pray for him. Pray for yourselves. Pray for those that has left us. Pray for those who are "in the world". Continue to strive to make our churches a "safe" place. Safe but bot compromising.
