Tough to be a teacher

Being a teacher(of any sort) aren't easy especially when the expectations on you are more than what you can handle. Cases like parents coming to you complaining about their child's behaviour or results aren't satisfactory because of you. Pushing the blame to the teacher and not acknowledging the child's responsibility or in some cases play down the child's responsibilities and actions. Personally I am not a teacher (though my wife is), I am not speaking on behalf of my wife but recently I received a feedback on how my communication led to a misunderstanding. I was quite angry about this because it sounds like I am at fault when I was not the one who cause it. However, through the strengthening of the Holy Spirit, I manage to humble myself to receive the feedback and accept the weakness that I had. I am imperfect and I know my communication isn't my strength. I thank God that I have people around me whom I can discuss about things and help me to sharpen my perspective and communication. One of such person is my dearest wife, Sarah. Others will be Dehua, Eugene and Guofeng when I have the chance to talk to them. =)
During this episode, the devil initially has a better hand of making me think of giving up to teach what is right especially to pple who don't readily listen to my advice. And causing me to feel right to be angry. I kept praying for peace in my heart and humility to accept the feedback and to acknowledge my flaws. And finally, the love of God won this victory. I was reminded about Jesus' love for us. Jesus did manage to die on the cross despite the insults and harsh treatment he received from the people He intended to save. It really takes greater love to continue to love despite the resistance, the treatment and hurtful comments.
I know I can only do this with the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. I want to strive to do better in my communication, I will want to clarify till my message is through and I will continue to pray for humility to receive feedbacks and to know myself better. Thank God for this experience too. =)
