What we are when no one is looking defines who we really are. I am to no pretending violate pedestrian rules once in a while for one reason “I am impatient” and it is but a shame as a teacher to continuously violate simple rules when I teach my students to follow instructions and obey rules every time. Yesterday, as I am about to cross from G4 to G5 I waited patiently for the white light which means “go” for the pedestrian but I’ve noticed that there were almost a hundred of people whom yes violated the rule already and cross on the red light while I am stuck there standing and still waiting .. then I wondered that maybe the traffic light malfunctioned so I thought of crossing anyway. BUT, I remembered that there’s an underpass to G5 right from Haven&Eggs but because I guess I have waited long enough and initially intend to obey the rules I end up beating the red light.
Many times in my life when I try .. I really tried to do things the right way but I can’t. Often, when I am caught in the middle of situations when I know what to do .. but I don’t. So in the end, things don’t change. And it goes round and round and round.
Will power alone can never suffice, I have to accept the fact that I can only do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. Most of the time, I missed the point and to no surprise I fail because maybe subconsciously I think that I don’t need God for small things like the circumstance that happened yesterday. What I fail to realize is .. if God can help me on big things as it has already made known to me for the past adversities that I’ve been through. He can surely grant me the grace to do what is right even on small things. I don’t know with you but as for me, nothing is too little or too big for God.
P.S
When we think that there’s no other way to do what is right, always remember that if the traffic light malfunctioned .. there can alway be an underpass :)
