And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:5
praise the Lord! 
even though i have a midterm and paper both on wednesday, i feel so relieved. not just relieved but so grateful. God works in amazing ways. i don't even know how to explain it. but i do know that He's constantly watching over us, working in us. like the chinese proverb says, through each trial, you gain a little. in this case, i gained a lot. i thank God for opening my heart to accept and work on my flaws. everything works so much better when you take action from love.

i stumbled across Romans 14 and nothing sums it up better. it spoke to me like no other. No one lives for himself alone. No one dies for himself alone. If we live, it is for the Lord. If we die, it is for the Lord. If we live or die, we belong to the Lord. Christ died and lived again. This is why He is the Lord of the living and of the dead. Why do you try to say your Christian brother is right or wrong? Why do you hate your Christian brother? We will all stand before God to be judged by Him.
So you should stop saying that you think other people are wrong. Instead, decide to live so that your Christian brother will not have a reason to trip or fall into sin because of you. Christ has made me know that everything in itself is clean. But if a person thinks something is not clean, then to him it is not clean.
Do not let what is good for you be talked about as bad. For the holy nation of God is not food and drink. It is being right with God. It is peace and joy given by the Holy Spirit. If you follow Christ in these things, God will be happy with you. Men will think well of you also. Work for the things that make peace and help each other become stronger Christians.
Romans 14:7-10, 13, 16-19 (NLV)
