Glorious Impossible

2008-12-17T14:08:00.000-08:00

See the Virgin is delivered
In a cold and crowded stall;
Mirror of the Father's glory
Lies beside her in the straw.

He is Mercy's incarnation
Marvel at this miracle!
For the Virgin gently holds the
Glorious Impossible.

Love has come to walk on water,
Turn the water into wine,
Touch the leper, bless the children
Love both human and divine.

Praise the wisdom of the Father
Who has spoken through his Son.
Speaking still He calls us to the
Glorious Impossible.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Glorious Impossible

He was bruised for our transgressions
And He bears eternal scars.
He was raised for our salvation
And his righteousness is ours.

Praise, oh, praise im, praise the glory
Of this lavished grace so full.
Lift your souls now and receive the
Glorious Impossible!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Glorious Impossible

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Glorious Impossible

Glorious Impossible
Praise, oh, praise Him, praise the glory
Of this lavish grace so full.
Lift your souls now and receive the
Glorious Impossible

Glory Hallelujah

SPOILER AHEAD!!!!
(READ MY PREVIOUS BLOG BEFORE CONTINUING)
try Highlighting the next paragraph below the picture to make things clear...

Just wanna make sure that you guys understand what I'm talking about on my previous blog. The Two strokes in the beginning makes the letter L.
The circle makes an O.
One stroke going down and then the one following that goes up represents the letter V.
The next one that says line goes up and short lines starts from the bottom to the top is E.

Thanks God for giving me a fill on this... =)

Have a blessed day guys~!

The Canvas of life...

2008-12-16T05:06:00.000-08:00

Life is like an empty piece of paper...a Canvas in the hand of a painter...

Hi Guys, its me again...

Just wanna share again a lil' bit about life.

As I said, life is like an empty piece of paper...
How it finish depends on the writer or painter (in term of painting).

The painter starts with a stroke...
That's when you first feel disappointment, failure...
You have no IDEA of what this straight line means in that picture...

Then, come another stroke...
Your girl/boy friend leave you, parents disappoint you, your best friend betray you, got raped by your own dad, anything...

Call it..."time to grow more"?

Oww, hey...another stroke coming...
But, this time you get to choose...
Weather to take control of your life (took the brush and stop those strokes)...or let the Painter finish the whole picture.

One might try to even...try to finish their own picture, SHAPE themselves one might so call.
In the end, they might be satisfied with the picture, but...Do you know, or does anybody ever felt that whatever things that you try to do it yourself (painting, cooking, or whatever) you always felt like there is something missing in it? I'm talking Imprefection... Get it?

One might try to even...not finish the picture...just, GRAB the brush and leave it on the table and let the canvas be with just two strokes...Have you ever seen a picture with just two strokes of brush? People will see you, in curiosity...but then they left because that's it...just two strokes...nothing more.

Or...You can let the Painter finish the picture...
This time, He will drew a circle...circle is nice...Love is a circle...it has no beginning and no end...
I'm talking about marriage...Found your loved ones, found a place where you can finally belong. Hey those people that have already married, you know what I'm talking about!? Ha ha...

Here comes another stroke...
It goes downhill now...there is something going on with your marriage life.
Carrier change? May be?

But heeeey, don't worry...here comes another stroke, and it goes UP this time...
Turns out that your marriage life gets better with a lil' drama that spiced it up.
Carrier change turns out to be a way out of your boring 9 - 5 routines, and you got promoted for being keen and honest.

A couple of strokes that starts from a deep line that goes upward, then starts to go forward but from the bottom...to the middle...then finally the top...
I'm talking about Blessed life, one would starts it from the bottom, and when they are ready and responsible enough, they will climb to the mid level. Then Finally to the TOP. This can be your life, marriage life, carrier, ministry, anything as long that you let the Painter do what He does best.

And here it is...the MASTER PEACE...Signed off by the Painter with His blood...

Bless you all,

In Jesus name...

Amen...

Hi Guys...

2008-12-15T08:29:00.000-08:00

Been so long since I fill in my blog...

Glad to be back, and I'll try to fill it in more often.

I'm struggling with my own thorn in flesh. So please guys, pray for me...

God Bless and Nurture you... =)

Dont give up...

2008-12-15T07:30:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys~
Just wanna share a few that God have put in my mind.

As what my cell leader shared with us a few weeks ago, we human as a human have a weakness.
Some call it a weakness, some call it a thorn in a flesh.

A thorn in a flesh, what is it?
It is a sin that we have tried to endure, again, again and again but we may still fall into the same hole. As Paul have written in 2 Corinthian 12: 7

"To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me."

Why does God allowed the devil (a messenger of Satan) to test us, torment us, to try us?
That is the question that most people have been asking, some Christian have been trying to find out.

Our Senior Pastor have given us a preach two weeks ago about this, and he said
"It is because we hold a great power inside of us. Satan is trying to keep it hidden inside of us, sealed it so that we can never use it for the Kingdom of God. But, once we acquire our talent, God let the devil dwell so that we can never be Arrogant. Vanity is a dangerous thing." Lucifer had fallen because of Vanity. Saul had fallen because of Vanity and pride.

Back to the topic, I have heard stories about people who have lost all hope, try to commit suicide. But really, there is no point of committing suicide. You never fulfill God's will in your life, and You gain nothing from taking your own life. There is only one way out of that tunnel...Eternal suffering in Hell. So, for those people who thinks that Death is the only way, YOU ARE WRONG!

Never think that your sin is unforgivable. Our God is a God that turns bad into goodness.
Remember how David committed a sin by conspiring to kill Uriah, Bathsheba's husband to take her as his wife?
David regretted that and seek forgiveness. He repented, and you think there is no positive outcome from this? Wrong, He wrote a couple of psalms about his repentance which blesses many who read and use it as an example. David's descendant from Batsheba gave birth to Joseph, Jesus's father which gave Jesus the title "the son of David". So, whatever your sin is, repent, ask for forgiveness.

The key of success is to never give up. Paul never gave up.
Keep on going even though you have stumbled a couple of times.
Our God is a merciful God, although you have fallen into the deepest valley, His hand will pick you up. He never give you test that you can not handle. Always ask Him for mercy, and you shall be given. NEVER give up, and when the Devil whispers to you "YOU CAN'T MAKE IT", YELL BACK "JESUS never give up on me, and I will NEVER give up on HIM!". Run until you finish the race and your reward will be unimaginable, unbelievable.

You have wings behind your back, and every time you stumble and fall, think of it this way... Jesus is trying to teach you to fly...and one day, you will spread your wing and fly like an eagle.

Then, you are more then a winner.

Have faith my brothers and sisters.

For I also pray for you all, and I wish for you all to pray for me...

And...Never Give Up!

In Jesus name
Amen...

Spread your wing and fly~!

2008-07-16T04:08:00.000-07:00

Whenever you're in the valley
Feeling like you're just alone and wearry...
When you think that tommorow's just gonna be a blunder...
And how people acts like you're just a loser...

Failing like no other...
Feel like you are just another...

Guess what!

I say be greatful for the valley!

For valley, will be filled and becomes a river...
Bow up, Spread your wings and fly!
Then when you realize, tommorow is actually better...

Dance for Him oh my feet!
Sings and praise oh my soul!
Just like David dances and praise...

Scream His Name in the darkness
Break this darkened silence with your voice!
Just how the wind blows forward through obsticles
That is how you will follow your faith in Jesus!

For He is God and the only God!
The one that had ransomed me from my sin!
For he is mighty to save and worthy to be praised!
The one that was, is and will always be!

In HIS MIGHTY name I sing and pray...

...Amen...

Ehehehe...

2008-07-13T17:53:00.001-07:00

Man...How great is our God...
He can do everything...
He can turn siners into singers...
He can turn losers into fighters...

Kata2 yang baru aja gue buat itu...
pengen gue sampein kalo kasih Tuhan itu selalu baru setiap hari...
Tuhan selalu bilang kalo masalah hari ini biarlah menjadi masalah hari ini...
Dan Tuhan selalu bilang kalo KasihNya baru setiap pagi...
Dia menunggu selalu di terbitnya matahari...
Asalkan kita mau percaya dan berserah kepadaNya...

Speaking from my personal experience...
That He'd care for me...And blessed by one of Hillsong Conference that I went on thursday 4.30. Im sorry I dont know his name...But what matters is that he spoke blessings for the weak...
How he was a bed wetter and he was in the brink of nothingness, yet HIS light shines upon him now.

Just want to say Thank You God...
Just want to praise Your Name...

Amen... ^^

Heart and Snow...

2007-12-10T17:45:00.000-08:00

Pada suatu ketika...
Hidup se-ekor burung merpati...
Hidupnya bebas, terbang tinggi melayang di udara...
Kebebasan adalah segalanya bagi dia...

Namun suatu hari...

Ia pun jatuh...

jatuh terpelosok...

dan menghantam tanah...

Tak tahu berapa lama ia tertidur...
Terkapar...dan kesakitan...

Saat ia tersadar...
Yang ia rasakan hanyalah
...kesakitan...

...kepedihan hati...

...dan
ketakutan...

Namun, tiba2 terdengar suara, suara yang nyaring sekali...
Se orang raksasa...yang buruk rupa...
Di matanya penuh dengan kesdihan...

Raksasa itu lalu mengangkat merpati, menanyakan bagaimanakah sayapnya yang patah itu?
Sayap yang telah terbalut...

NAMUN...merpatipun berontak!

...rasa takut menyeliputinya...

Raksasapun menaruhnya kembali ke dalam sangkar dengan lembut...
Berharap suatu hari nanti, merpati dapat kembali terbang...
Berharap...suatu hari nanti merpati dapat meraih kebahagiannya kembali...

Hari demi hari...
Malam demi malam...
Bulan demi bulan...

Raksasa terus merawat sang merpati...
Mengobatinya....
Memberinya makan...
dan memperhatikannya, bak harta yang sangat berharga...
dan...merpatipun mulai berani percaya kepada raksasa si buruk rupa...

Lalu tibalah saatnya....
Sayap merpati sudah sembuh...
dan
Raksasa membawanya ke luar rumah...
Dimana matahari bersinar terang...Angin bertiup sepoy sepoy...
Seperti apa yang Merpati ingat...

Hanya 1 hal yang Raksasa dapat lakukan sekarang...
Ia mengangkat merpati tinggi tinggi...dan...
Melemparnya tinggi ke udara...

Merpatipun mengepakkan sayapnya!
Ia dapat terbang kembali!
Ceria kembali!
Menikmati hembusan angin di udara...
Terbang kian kemari...

Dengan senyuman dan air mata...
Raksasapun beranjak pergi meninggalkan tempat itu...
Masih berharap untuk Merpati datang menghampirinya...
Namun di perjalanan kembali...Ia terebah jatuh ke tanah...
Dengan mata berlinang air mata...dan senyuman yang hangat..

...Ia pergi dari dunia ini...

Puas dengan kebebasannya itu, Merpatipun mencari Raksasa yang buruk rupa.
Ia ingin sekali kembali kepadanya...
Dicarinya kesana, dan kesini...
Namun ia tidak menemukan...
Panik dan rasa takut kembali menghantuinya...
Terus ia mencari...namun tak menemukan...
Semakin tinggi..dan semakin tinggi ia terbang...
Sampai airmata berubah menjadi butir butir es...

Sejak saat itu...merpati masih mencari Sang raksasa buruk rupa itu...
Ia menjadi sangat terang, dan menghiasi langit bagian utara berharap raksasa dapat melihatnya siang dan malam...
dan salju..
.adalah air matanya...

~The End~

How did The Rainbow get its colors...

2007-11-25T17:22:00.000-08:00

Once upon a time...
Rainbow was colorless...
It floats up above in the sky, watch over the earth...

One day, a canary approached Rainbow and ask...
"Rainbow, why are you so dull and colorless?"
"I don't know..." Rainbow replied.
Rainbow thinks that it's might be because it might block the view for its friends, the birds...

The next day, rainbow appeared next to a pond, where all the colorful fishes swam and green trees were swaying.
Then rainbow thinks...
"It would be nice if I can be green, or red, or orange...or even blue..."
But he kept on believing that God made him this way for a purpose...

After a few years hanging, look over the earth from above...
Rainbow prays to God everyday for a color.
Then one day...
A chameleon yelled and laugh at the colorless Rainbow.

"Ha ha ha! Rainbow, you are so ugly...and dull and colorless...Why can't you be like me? I'm so cool! and everybody likes me." Chameleon says.

Rainbow became so sad...
But Rainbow still believe that God made him this way for a purpose...

Rainbow cried so hard that day...
God then saw Rainbow crying, and felt really sorry for rainbow and proud for Rainbow's faithfulness.

Then He said to rainbow,
"Rainbow...Rainbow...Do you not know why I made you this way?"

"No, my God...*sob* But I know that You made everything for a reason, and *sob* even though I really want to have color...But thank you God for making me the way I am..."

Replied Rainbow.

Then God smiled,
"Dear Rainbow...I made you colorless is so that you are not boastful and arrogant for your true color, and I'm glad that you are faithful to me...therefor I shall show you how colorful you really are..."

God took rainbow to the pond where the colorful fishes swam and green trees were swaying...
Then Rainbow looked at the reflection on the pond and surprised...
God not only gave Rainbow one color, not two colors...but every color that paints this world.

Rainbow thanked God for everything and it made a promise that it will never boast about the colors that Rainbow have and be arrogant.

So, everyone...Be faithful...Be thankful for how you are, because God created you that way for a reason...But be like rainbow, keep on praying...and God shall give you your colors ....

God >< Dog

2007-10-19T08:37:00.000-07:00

Shalooommmmmmmm~!!
Shalom semuanyaa...

Pengen nyampein salam pendek lagi ni...ehehhe
Seberapa sering sih kita minta minta dan minta sama Tuhan?
Tanpa nanya apakah itu yang Tuhan mao?

Seberapa sering sih kita nyuruh nyuruh Tuhan tanpa kita sadari kita mengganggap God sebagai Dog...?

Kita bisa nyuruh Anjing kita duduk...
Pertama tama emang rada susah...
harus di minta terus menerus dan terus menerus...
Sampe akhirnya si Anjing bilang
"Ah...ya uda gue duduk deh..."

GOD kadang juga suka terpaksa... Sangking sayangNya Dia ke kita, apa yang kita minta Dia lakukan (walaupun belom tentu baik buat kita), Dia lakukan...
Sure, kita dapet apa yang kita mau... Then what? Jika emang itu bukan apa yang Tuhan mau...akhirnya kita bisa jatuh dalam dosa, bisa lupa sama Dia, bisa menyesal, bisa disakiti, daaaaaaan sebagainya...

Tapi tau ga guys?

Tuhan ngasih kita gitu, bukan berarti Dia kejam lho...
Saat kita jatuh dalam dosa, Dia selalu siap sedia menarik kau balik...
Kitika kita lupa pada Dia, dengan berlinang air mata Dia berusaha mengingatkan kita kembali... Saat kita menyesali apa yang kita pinta, Dia selalu siap sedia dengen rencanaNya yang semula... Jika kita disakiti, Dia selalu datang ke kita dengan nasehat dan 'perban' ilahi Nya... Bukankah kita beruntung punya Allah yang seperti itu guys??

Pertanyaan selanjutnya...

APA YANG BISA KITA PERBUAT BAGI DIA?

John F Kennedy dulu bilang
"Do not ask! What the country can do for you, BUT ask yourself, what can you do for your country!!"

Rico Surjadi bilang
"DO not ASK! What your GOD have done for you! BUT ask yourself, what have you done for your GOD!"

Yang Dia mao itu simple koq...
Sayangilah sesamamu seperti engkau menyayangi Aku...
10 perintah Allah...
Menunggu dan berjaga jagalah sebab Kerajaan-Nya sudah dekat...
Berilah apa yang sepantasnya bagi Allah...
Lipat gandakan lah apa yang sudah dipercayakan kepadamu...
udah? masi banyak sih...makanya baca Alkitab...Ehehehe

Tapi semuanya jelas koq apa yang Dia mao buat kita lakukan...
Semuanya tergantung kemauan kita aja sampe dimana...
Ketaatan kita sejuah apa...

Maka itu sodara2... Lain kali jika kita ingin meminta sesuatu kepadaNya, MINTALAH apa yang Dia mau bukan apa yang kita mau... Pujilah dan sembahlah Dia seperti selayaknya GOD bukan DOG. Muliakanlah Dia dengan perbuatanmu, kesetiaanmu, dan kasih sayangmu.

Dalam nama Tuhan Yesus
Amin...

God's work is a Good work

2007-10-01T14:26:00.000-07:00

Just when I thought I have everything, You took them all...
Just when I thought I feel comfortable, You made me stand up...
Just when I thought I feel loved, You showed me again what loneliness means...

But You are still my God...

For when You took everything, I learnt that I still have You...
and when You made me stand up, You showed me what I can do with your Grace...
and when I feel lonely...

That's when I can feel your presence the MOST...

Thank You Lord...For everything that You have done for me is for a greater Good.
Just when I surrender myself wholely to You, what I lost shall be found, and all closed door will be opened.

a quick praise and worship by Your lowest servent...

The Importance of going to church, and GOD

2007-09-29T16:11:00.001-07:00

Hmm...
My friend asked me this
"WHY...do we need to go to church? Isn't GOD everywhere? Its enough if we communicate with Him at home, right??"

And then I paused...

Hmm...
She was right in one way, GOD is everywhere...
GOD can listen to us when we communicate with Him at home, or whenever we want to communicate with Him.

BUT!

Can you...listen to Him...?

Helloo??
Where else can YOU hear His Voice, besides from His anointed ones?

We go to church, because we crave for His words...
We go to church, because we wish to seek His advice...
We go to church, because we wish to seek His presence...
For in the bible, theres a saying "when two or more people get together, there I will present Myself".
and most of all...
We go to church, because we wish to complete ourself with God's armaments so that we can be strong against temptations.
The other thing is that, we come to church to worship, not because we should...but because we wish to...

Many people may not understand this...

For what have happened in their life...
God's Grace have never reached their heart, for they have closed their heart for what had happened in their past.
For those people, please just give Him a try...
YOU have lived your life just the way it is, it wouldn't hurt to give GOD have a try on you.

For those who seek redemption, I want to tell you...

"HE is a forgiving GOD"

Not only HE will forgive anything that you have done, He will also redeem your sins whatever you are. AS LONG, that you PROMISE to Him that (this is important, pay attention...)

YOU WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN

Now, you will probable have doubts about this...You may think that "oh, what if I might do it again, Im still human..."
RELAX, you are not GOD. As long that you put His words in your heart, You shall gain His strength to fight against your Temptation and be responsible to Him and to your fellow human, For that will help you fight against the Devil's whisper as well.

For those who wish to return to Him, DO IT NOW!
For it is not you who seek to return to Him, but it is Him that longs for you to return.
He have prepared everything for your return...Welcoming party, foods, drinks, He even give you a bigger room in His house.
WHY??
"Why is He doing all this for me?" you asked...
Because...

You are His child...
You have gone astray, and now you are back...
Of course any father would be happy to have his prodigal son back...

"NO!" you said? "My father is not like that..."

Hallelujah!! For our GOD is a Heavenly Father.
for He is nothing like what the world had offered, and now is your chance to feel what you have never felt as a son in Him.

Whoever and wherever you are,
Whatever and however you have sinned,
Whenever and whomever you have hurt,
If you have a Heart that seek Him, even just a little...
Don't let it fades away...for He shall never put off a dimmed light
but He will give you Eternal Flame, His Flame...

Amen...

What a beautiful day...

Cuaca: Cerah berangin...

Hai semua...
Gila hari ini gue seneng banget...Kenapa? Coz gue kaga kerja...
Mo ngurusin Tax Return sama masukin duit ke Bank...(alesan, padahal mo kasi surprise, temenin yang lagi libur, tuh si...itu). Ahahahahaha...

Tp pas gue sampe disini...Diomelin...
n disuru pulang lagi XP~
Ehehehe.

Its true sih, kadang kita pengen romantis, tapi malah melupakan tanggung jawab yang lain...
Tapi, bukannya idenya Romantis itu, adalah pengorbanan dari hal yang penting ya? Jadi rada bingung...Ehehe.

But then again, tergantung orangnya juga sih...Dia anggap pengorbanan kita itu sebagai sesuatu yang romantis, ato bodoh...Abis, romantis juga cenderung ke kebodohan sih...

Jadi konklusinya apa ya?
Romantis = bodoh???
May be thats the idea in the first place...To be dumb inspite what you normally dont, to be humble and put yourself on the lowest level just to make the opposite sex feel appriciated and be on the higher level then you.

Yah, tapi its all good lah...Shes happy, thats what matters most.

Sampe disini dulu deh kali ini,
I'll see u all soon!!
God Bless...

Bicentennial Man...Perfection that longs for Imperfection

2007-09-22T07:09:00.000-07:00

Hari ini gue nonton film Bicentennial Man untuk yang ke 2 kali... Bener2 bagus sekali ini film...Didalamnya terkandung makna makna yang benar benar dalam dan menyentuh sekali...

Sebelom lanjut, gue cuma pengen menekankan kalo blog ini mengandung 'spoiller' yang sangat dalam. Kalo emang belom nonton, disarankan untuk menontonnya dahulu.

Inti cerita film ini adalah dimana seorang, atau bisa dibilang sebuah benda yang dapat hidup selamanya menginginkan untuk hidup sementara tetapi mempunyai hidup yang 'penuh'.

Dibintangi oleh Robin Willilam, yang memang sudah dikenal sebagai aktor kawakan yang telah membintangi banyak film bernama. Diikuti oleh aktor yang tidak kalah keren, Sam Neal yang lebih dikenal dalam film Jurassic Park sebagai Dr. Grant.

Film yang diproduksi pada tahun dimana sedang merebaknya millenium bug (1999) ini, menceritakan seorang robot bernama Andrew. Bagaimana dia menjalani hidup mulai dari dia di produksi, melayani sebuah keluarga dimana dia pertama tama tidak disegani, tetapi lama kelamaan mulai diterima oleh anggotanya yang paling kecil.

Andrew adalah sebuah robot yang unik, unik karena secara tidak sengaja Andrew adalah sebuah robot yang mempunyai intelegensi dan perasaan. Diceritakan disini Andrew menjalani hidupnya, mulai dari yang tidak mengerti hal kecil seperti "kapan dan gimana mengatakan 'goodbye' " sampai mengerti perasaan mencintai. Mulai dari belajar mengeluarkan lelucon lelucon, sampai merasakan pedihnya kehilangan, yang dimulai dari majikannya sendiri yang sudaha seperti seorang ayah.

Seperti layaknya pinocchio, Andrew ingin 'menjadi' seorang manusia. Seseorang yang dapat merasa nyata yang mendapatkan kebebasan dalam melakukan yang selayaknya manusia perbuat. Andrew mencari jati dirinya, mengejar apa yang dia ingini walau sepertinya mustahil bagi sebuah robot untuk menjadi manusia. Lalu dimana dia sudah ditinggal bebrapa orang yang sangat disayangi, Andrew berusaha membuat manusia menjadi 'kekal' seperti dirinya yang memang tidak dapat mati karena usia. Lalu dia berhasil membuat design organ organ vital buatan untuk manusia dan dibantu oleh temannya yang seorang dokter biomechanical.

Yang benar2 membuat gue merasa sedih dan...iri tuh, pada saat terakhir... Dimana sebuah robot saja, yang sebenarnya tidak layak memiliki 'hidup', tetapi pada akhirnya dapat memiliki hidup yang 'penuh'. Memiliki apa yang dia inginkan (kasih sayang), dimana gue sebagai manusia merasa tidak mampu untuk mendapatkan cinta dari seseorang yang gue bener2 sayangi..

Memang sih ini cuma sebuah film, tetapi alangkah baik...kalo gue bisa se'beruntung' Andrew... Alangkah bahagia, di dalam hidup gue yang pendek ini, mendapatkan apa yang gue mau. Gue tau Andrew pun berusaha keras untuk menjadi apa yang dia mau, mendapatkan apa yang dia dambakan. Inilah juga yang sepertinya menjadi motivasi gue buat mencoba, dan terus mengejar impian gue. Tentunya juga berdoa dan beriman. Biar setidaknya gue ga hidup selama Andrew (200 tahun), tetapi pada akhirnya dapat mati disamping orang yang gue sayangi sepenuh hati.

Yang gue juga dapat disini juga adalah...Pada saat Sam Neal, selaku kepala keluarga dan ayah ingin mengembangkan Andrew dan juga melarang Andrew di 'bener-in' menjadi layaknya robot biasa. Andrew diajarkan perlahan lahan, sehingga Andrew dapat menjadi robot yang berkembang dan berbuah. Bukankah Allah juga begitu? Dia menciptakan kita, bukanlah sebagai robot yang karena Dia ingin manusia itu menjadi 'manusia' bukanlah robot yang kaku dan bergerak hanya dengan apa yang Dia mau. Sebab itulah kita diberikan "free will", sekaligus juga Dia membimbing kita supaya kita mau diubah menjadi lebih perfect. Prilaku Andrew yang haus akan bimbingan Ayah nya benar benar pantas kita tiru sebagai anak anak Allah. Yang juga kita memang tahu di dalam bimbingan Tuhan, kita dapat berkembang dan berbuah.

Jadi...yang pengen gue sampein di message ke dua ini, ayo lah kita tetap haus akan bimbingan-Nya, janganlah kita malas dan menyerah di tengah jalan...Masa kita mau kalah sama robot yang hanya sebuah mesin? Memang sih Tuhan bisa bikin kita menjadi perfect dari semula, sempurna layaknya sebuah robot...Tetapi, bukankah kita beruntung karena Tuhan ingin kita seperti ini, karena Dia memang 'menyayangi' kita dan ingin kita dengan sendirinya 'menyayangi' Dia balik tanpa paksaan dari Dia. Sama seperti misalnya kita, mengajarkan anak kita 'cinta' tetapi tidak memaksa dia untuk mencintai melainkan hanya berharap kalau anak kita itu dengan sendirinya 'mencintai' kita. Betapa senangnya kan kalau anak kita berinisiatif menyayangi kita tanpa paksaan dari diri kita?

Semoga pesan ini dapat memberkati semua yang uda menyediakan waktu dan perhatian untuk membaca curahan hati gue ini...

Dalam nama Yesus, Amin

Pertolongan Dia tidak pernah terlambat, hanya kita kadang menolak...

Ada cerita begini...

Sebuah kota terkena serangan tsunami, dan ada 1 orang yang selamat.
Dia berenang dan memanjat di genting sebuah rumah.
Air terus menerus naik...lalu 1 jam kemudian, air sudah sampai selutut.
Lalu orang ini berdoa...

"Ya Tuhan...tolong selamatkan saya!"

Lalu tidak lama kemudian, sebuah kapal pesiar yang selamat datang, lalu awak kapal tersebut berteriak "HOOI!! Ayo naik!!!"

Tetapi orang itu berkata

"TIDAK!! Tuhan akan menolongku..."

Lalu kapal tersebut pergi...

2 jam kemudian, air sudah sampai se pinggang...
Lagi2 orang itu panik dan berdoa lagi lebih keras..

"Tuhan, maafkan dosa dosa saya, tolonglah saya!!"

beberapa saat kemudian, sebuah pesawat capung melewati daerah itu dan orang di pesawat pun menawarkan bantuan.

"Woooi!! Ayo naik!!"

Tetapi dia tetap beriman dan terus percaya Tuhan akan menolong dia.

"TIDAK, terima kasih!! Tuhan akan menolong saya!!"

Maka pesawat itupun pergi....

3 jam kemudian, airpun sudah naik sampai se perut...
Lalu dia berdoa lagi kepada Tuhan...

"Ya Tuhanku, selamatkanlah akuu...!!"

Lagi2 tidak lama kemudian, datanglah sebuah kanoe yang benar2 cukup untuk 1 orang lagi...
Orang di kanoe berkata

"AYOO!! masih ada 1 tempat nih!! naik buruan...!!"

Tetapi orang itu tetap kekeh...

"Terima kasih...tetapi Tuhan akan menolongku!!"

Lalu kanoe itu pergi...

Lalu sekitar 2 jam kemudian...air bah pun melahap orang itu...lalu dia mati dan naik ke atas...

Sesampainya di atas, dia ketemu Tuhan...Lalu dia berkata

"Tuhan, koq ga nolongin saya sih...?"

Tuhan dengan funkynya bilang

"Lha, orang tadi Gue dah kirim 3 kapal buat nolongin lu, lu ga terima..."

Yang mo gue bagiin disini...
Bahwa...Pertolongan Tuhan tidaklah pernah terlambat...
Kadang kita yang secara sengaja ataupun tidak, menolak pertolongan itu...
Contoh:

"Wah...dia bukan Kristen...ngapain mao ditolong dia, pasti bukan dari Tuhan"
or...
"Masa sih ini dari Tuhan, tapi gue ga mao yang kayak gini"

Tuhan dapat memberikan pertolonganNya melalui apapun, siapapun...
Mo dia anak2-Nya atau bukan...Bisa juga dari binatang atau benda2 sekitar...
Gimana cara kita tau kalo itu dari Tuhan? Simple...

Dekatlah dengan-Nya maka kau akan mengenal suara-Nya

Janganlah meminta tolong hanya dalam kebutuhan...
Janganlah kau membutuhkan Dia disaat kekurangan...
Maka kau akan tau itu Dia...
Apakah kau tau suara Yayangmu di tlp?
Begitulah juga kita dengan Tuhan...

Ada lagi yang Tuhan memberikan pertolongan...
Tetapi kita kadang kala menolak, sebab bukan seperti itulah pertolongan yang kita mau...
Kita menolak karena kita tidak puas dengan jawaban dari Dia.
Tuhan memberikan pertolongan sesuai yang kita BUTUH bukan yang kita MAU.
Dia adalah Tuhan yang mencukupi, amin?

Terakhir...
Apa yang pada akhirnya terjadi jika kita terus menolak pertolongan Tuhan?
Kita akan mati (dalam cerita itu), tetapi mati yang ingin disampaikan adalah, "keputus asa-an".
Seberiman nya kita, sebagai manusia, kita tetaplah manusia...
Tetapi Tuhan tidaklah pernah meninggalkan kita, sebagaimanapun kita menolak-Nya
Dia selalu memberikan pertolongannya, berkali kali...Tetapi hanya terserah kitalah, sebagaimananya kita...

So guys...kenalilah suara-Nya.
Mulailah peka dengan telinga Imanmu...
Bukalah hatimu kepada sekitar.
Bacalah Alkitabmu dengan kehausan akan Firman-Nya
Siapa tau juga bahwa kamulah yang dipakai Tuhan untuk menolong sesamamu.

Amin...

Apa ada ya...yang bisa bikin kita feel secure di Dunia ini...
Kadang gue mikir gitu...

Gue butuh seseorang yang bener2 bisa gue rely on...
Seseorang yang...bisa membutuhkan gue...
Seseorang yang...ga pernah bosan sama gue...
Seseorang yang...mao manja manja sama gue...

Sebab gue selalu melakukan hal yang seperti itu ke orang yang gue sayangin...

Dimana dia membutuhkan gue...gue selalu akan ada buat dia...
Dimanapun dan gimanapun juga...gue ga akan bosen sama dia...
Demikian pula...gue selalu akan manjain dia...

Yang pasti sih...
"gue butuh seseorang untuk disayangi...

sebab gue butuh untuk disayang juga..."

Tapi Tuhan baik...
Dia tau apa yang baik buat gue...
Dia tau apa yang gue butuhkan...
dan Dia adalah Tuhan yang mencukupkan...

Sekarang...Gue yakin...

Security hanyalah ada di dalam Dia...
Sebab di dalam Dia lah...terdapat ketentraman abadi...

Kemanapunku pergi...
orang berlalu lalang...
Kemanapunku berlangkah...
oh, Kau tak pernah meninggalkan...

Seringkali ku berlari...
atas segala perbuatanku yang hina..
yang membuatku jauh dariMu...
akan kasihMu yang kekal...
nyanyian yang tak pernah berhenti...
gema Surgawi nan indah...

Jesus...You are my King...
enable me to come before you with praise...
Jesus...You are my Saviour...
everlasting Friend and Lover...

Gue kemaren ini sempet dapet gini...(sebenernya pengen di share di komsel, tapi bingung ngerangkum kata2nya =P).

Apa sih yang pertama kali kita pikirkan kalo denger nama YUDAS...?
Pasti kata pertama yang kebayang adalah 'penghianat'.

Iya kan?

Terus gini...
Kalo Yudas ngga ngehianati Yesus, Yesus ga akan di salibkan, nubuatan ga terpenuhi dan umat manusia ga terselamatkan...

Sebenarnya, semuanya kan uda berdasarkan rencana-Nya...Sampai Yesus pun tau Yudas akan menghianatinya, Dia tetap saja mendiamkannya. Sebab Anak Manusia memang harus mati di kayu salib, menebus dosa manusia dan MENANG atas maut dengan bangkit di hari ke 3.

Nah...apakah salahnya Yudas?
Salahnya Yudas bukan di bagian 'menghianati' sebenarnya...
Salahnya Yudas itu adalah membunuh diri...Mengambil sesuatu yang bukan hak dia, sebab dirimu adalah milik Allah. Sebenarnya mungkin Allah mempunyai rencana yang BESAR bagi Yudas...Petrus juga menghianati Yesus dengan menyangkal Dia 3 kali...Tetapi dia menyesal dan bukan mengakhiri hidupnya tetapi MEMAKAI hidupnya demi Dia.

Nah...gue mu sampein ini, kalo mo belajar memaafkan...maafkanlah dulu Yudas...
Janganlah pandang dia sebagai penghianat...Sebab penghianat belomlah tentu selalu penghianat. Tetapi apa yang dia pakai dalam hidupnyalah yang menentukan...
Perlombaan lari di tentukan pada garis akhir, sebab pelari dapat tumbang beberapa kalipun, tetapi kalau dia tetap tidak menyerah, selalu ada peluang untuk menang.

God bless
and be Faithful ^^
