Forget all behind... Remember One Thing Only...

A few days ago when i came to Sunday Service, i got good statement from the sermon.

The pastor said that "We have to forget all things about our past which could make us down... No matter who we were, God loves us as His children... One thing we have to remember from our past lives is just about The Power of The Cross..."

Sometimes, we feel condemned by what we have done in our past... our sins, our mistakes, our failures or everything which makes us feeling discomfort.

Condemnation is like poison in our lives... in our bodies...

Every condemnation can kill us even it is slowly or directly...

The only way out is to forget and release all the memories which always come...

Come to our God and confess all of our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Remember one thing... His sacrifice on the cross that has set us free from all of our sins...

Then... what's next?

Doing His will in our lives!!!

Have a wonderful journey with Him... ^.^

new journey again...

This week is very very great week...
I should do some works with my laptop and internet...
On Monday, viruses attacked my laptop...
On Tuesday morning, my blog (this blog) was hijacked by someone, so that everyone who wants to open the page view would fail...

I thought...what should i do?
Searching and searching... Sending message to webmaster...
Finally, i decided to change my blog address...
from www.novitz.blogspot.com into www.novitz-1122.blogspot.com

There is an effect of this change ... all the records in google searching are deleted...
huaaaaaaaa.... *crying*
I have to work hard again to leverage my blog...

Anyway... I learn to thank God for this case...
Start new journeys again...


~novitz~

every journey

Every journey has a special thing
Every journey is unique
Every journey has an unforgettable experience
Every journey is a memory which could become a history

a beautiful ending...

Sometimes...
We don't know where we are...
Why we face something hard...
We don't realize...
If it is right or wrong...  

Sometimes...
We are trapped in a situation...
Which makes us down...
And presses us tightly...
When will we be free?  

Sometimes...
We only see what our eyes can see...
We don't seek the mystery behind it...
We don't ask the Play Director Who has made the story...  

As a matter of fact...
The story has a beautiful ending...
Even though we do not see it right now...
God has designed all the process uniquely...
Right as the character of each player...  

A beautiful ending...
For each of His beloved...
A beautiful ending...
For us to finish... ;)

givethanks -in experience-...

these days i feel so hectic facing all the tasks and people around me which give impact to my focus and targets...

the big challenge which i face is to manage people... it is not about i could not stick together, but it is about to train and control them daily...

what a big big temptation for me!!!  i have to take concern even to every little thing they do... the perfectionist of mine could make me headache because i have to think and think and think how to maximize them achieving their high potential in working.

just now, i have been reminded about inviting God to interfere in every part of my thinking... i have to lay all of my challenges down before Him... offer them all to His hands...because i can do nothing without Him... i have to let Him works doing His parts... i just pray and do my parts...

i remember the people in my meditation, then i could find some progress started in every person whom i lead... just need a long suffering to face them... is it hard? honestly yes! ...but i just think that i am sowing something good in them, even though i do not know when the fruits will be harvested and who will harvest them...

thinking about the progress, i just give God my thanks... i just asked His forgiveness for the sins i have done...

one story about givethanks i experienced yesterday when i was on my way home... i wanted melon badly...then i bought it at the market near my home...but something happened...i was careless and left it on the public car... "hooaaa...how careless i am!!!" i said it in my heart when i realized after walking a few metres from the place i got off...

when i arrived at home... i still thought why i could have been like that...

then a word came to my mind... a voice spoke to me whispering that word... "GIVETHANKSSS...."

then it continued... "just Bless the people who want it badly more than you..."

hahahahahaha.... i could laugh after hearing that voice... even though i did an unneeded mistake, i still could do a good thing for other...

givethanks oh givethanks... easy to speak...often to be listened but sometimes hard to do...but we have to do it! :p

that's my story about givethanks...

hopefully it can bless you...^^

givethanks...

Givethanks...

It is not just as a word...

It looks familiar...

It looks simple...

Givethanks...

It is not just as a word...

Even it can be a sword...

For the people who are in the crowd...

Givethanks...

It is not just as a word...

Can it be caught?

or even be bought?

Givethanks...

It is not just as a word...

It comes from the heart that very proud...

Proud to The God above...

good bye for good life...

Today i learn about Ruth in my devotion...

She had good characters which we can learn... Even though her husband had been dead, she was very loyal to her mother in law... She left all her family to follow her husband, mother in law and also God.

Her mother in law, Naomi, didn't want her lived in sadness anymore... Naomi wanted Ruth to leave all the sadness and started to see her future with Boaz.

What an amazing thing that Ruth did... She obeyed what Naomi said to her... She put off her old dress and put on a new dress to meet her future husband, Boaz.

For a woman...i believe that it isn't easy to do something like she did...

Shy and afraid feeling might be mixed in her heart...

But she still obeyed... and passed all the challenges till she got married with Boaz.

In our daily lives... many things that we have like Ruth had...

We have many different backgrounds, experiences, families, feelings, etc...which are good to remember or are good to forget.

Things which should be forgotten we should forget and leave them. Because if we want to hold them in our lives, we can't move forward. They could be big obstacles for us to move.

So... Leave them behind!!!

Catch what God wants in our lives...!!!

Take a new step in Faith with Him....

Through this story of Ruth... I am strengthened again to have a brave heart walking in His promises until the end of my life and until all His purposes are done...

How about you?

Let's say good bye to our past... good bye to what left behind... good bye for just a good life... because a best life is waiting ahead...

and Let's Walk in Faith with Him... ^^

He is with us.... :-)

New Life in Christ

 ^{Galatians 2:20}

^{I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life now I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave me Himself for me.}

New life in Christ...

A simple statement but sometimes we forget about its meaning in our lives...

I am not who i am but Christ lives in me...

If Christ lives in me, it means that i have to think, act and respond like Christ.

Things make us worry...

Things which aren't clear...

We don't have to give up to all of those things...

Let's have good response to face them...

Because the life now we live in the body, we live by faith in the Son of God.

Surrender our lives to Him... He will do His part...
