While You are Out...


Many of us are familiar with the 'While you are out..." phone messages, those sticky notes that reminds you who's who called and so on. However, in real life situation will there be a "While you are out..." messages? I am talking about real life situation here and the answer is a resounding yes.

What on earth am I talking about you might asked. The issues at hand is very simple, do you have a a way to return to your Creator's "Messages" that he left for you while you are no longer mindful of Him or perhaps (G-d Forbids), you have forgotten Him.

In the generation of Noach, HaShem Has Hold the "While you are Out..." Messages long until it can pile the whole universe. In patience, HaShem Waited for those that will review his "Messages" someday but He Has Waited in vain. Only Noach favours Him and no one else and until the last moment when the rain is falling, if the people repent, G-d Would Have Stopped the rain and turn it into a rain of Blessing instead.

So what's happening actually?

G-d Did Leaves us (all of us) "while you are out..." messages. However, it is up to us whether we want to return to have a look. G-d is Always Waiting us to review the messages, Waiting for us to do Teshuvah.

So, did you view your "While You are Out..." Messages today? The sooner, the better. :-)

Patience...

Sometimes, Life require more patience than you can give. This is when the real test come. Everyday, we struggle with people who misunderstood our meaning and possibly, actually we are the one who should take the blame. Communication is the vital part of getting message across, so if the line is not clear, have you put in enough patience?

think about it.

Forgiveness

לב שִׂפְתֵי צַדִּיק, יֵדְעוּן רָצוֹן; וּפִי רְשָׁעִים, תַּהְפֻּכוֹת.

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; but the mouth of the wicked is all frowardness. (Proverbs 10:32)

What does this verse implies? According to the Vilna Gaon, you can implied the meaning of apology here. How many times have people been apologising but actually they do not mean it? That's a problem truly because these are those referred to as the wicked, whose mouths are filled with frowardness.

Those who are truly righteous will do what is acceptable, they apologise with their heart and the truly mean it.

So what we can do?

Easy, whenever we apologise, do it wholeheartedly. Ask yourself why have you wronged him/her. If you know what have you done, do not do it again and ask for an apology. If you incerely do not know why you have offended a person, ask him/her the reason why. If they are truly your friend, they will tell you.
