...ItGOesON::::::: Understanding

Thursday, November 23, 2006

Back to work today. Was horribly sick that couldn't go to work yesterday. I'm so thankful that Dean came to my house and babysat me the whole day. Actually, Dean hasn't totally recoverd yet he still sacrificed his rest to look after me.

The most unforgettable thing of yesterday is how much Dean understood me. While I was in bed (I was in bed the whole day), I kept moaning how sore my back was, and Dean understood how the pain was since he'd got the same cold just two days ago (Obviously, he spread the cold to me). Dean's understanding isn't second-hand, it's first-hand. Second-hand understanding is gained from seeing, being told, and even traning; on the other hand, first-hand understanding can only be gained from one's own experience. That's why first-hand understanding is always soothing and comforting. It may explain why Jesus had taken the form and life of man.

"For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning."

Hebrews 4:15 (Amplified Bible)
