Tragedy and Love Languages

Today I lost my handphone.
It was a tragic experience.
I finally understand how people who lost their phones / got their phones stolen feel like now.
A part of me feels annoyed that my phone got stolen and the fact that all my contacts have not been backed up is worst.
Another part of me feels ok since I was actually already planning to change my phone..
Bah.
At the end of the day, my right pocket now feels lighter and empty. :(

I finally realised another flaw of mine.
Not being able to love people in their love language.
This is annoying especially when I have so many sisters and a mom who keeps on complaining that I don't love them...though I do!
Women are just complicated...T_T.
So after discussions, I figured that it is mainly because I don't show my love to them in their love language but mine instead. No wonder la!

And I think I've been becoming a bit arrogant lately..
Trying to curb my own tendencies of looking down on people at times.
I want to be able to encourage and not discourage.
If my words do not build, I don't want them to break people.
But I tend to do it even when I don't realise it.
I hope they forgive me for doing so as I don't really like that side of me.

I realised I'm so flawed.
And it feels like eternity to overcome these flaws but I sure do hope I overcome them eventually to become someone better.

I am hoping for things to change for the better
Trying to will myself to take action on things which I don't really like about myself.
It's tremendous discipline..

Help me, Lord.
Grant me the strength I need and the perseverance.
Grant me with Your grace which is sufficient for me too as I realise how flawed I am and how much You love me in spite of all my flaws.
Thank you!
Amen!
