Late Night Post

It's 1.30 Am.... Too late for me to write this posting... But I just wanna do this before I fly to the island of dreams.... Haha...

Suddenly this statement came to my heart, "Give thanks to The Lord for what He's done in my life!"

I don't know why it cried out in my heart strongly.... But one thing I know it's the Word of God and He wants me to do it before I have my very good rest... 

Yeah...it's a hard day yesterday and won't be easy days ahead... But I just believe that God will always be with me to face many things... 

So... I just let my heart sings to God and praise Him for His goodness in my life.... 

"and now, let the weak says I am strong... Let the poor says I am rich... Because of what the Lord has done for us... Give thanks... "

FHL #5

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

I thank God for these days...  I believe He has made my days beautiful... 

This morning He speaks that i may not see every circumstance through my own perspective... I should consider every thing i do if it is appropriate with the Bible or not...

Be carefull with my words is the thing i should learn more and more...

Faith

I believe that my words can give big impact for everyone i meet...

My words can encourage and build their spirit and faith...

Hope

I hope for a new level of faith in my life...

God speaks to me that everyone is being trained by Him to face a great war...

The biggest enemy is in us...ourselves that firstly should be conquered...

Love

Love one another...

When love fulfills our hearts, it will make our words and acts be a great impact for others.

FHL #4

Colossians 3:24

Remember that the Lord will give you as a reward what He has kept for His people. For Christ is the real Master you serve.

This morning, God comforted my heart with this verse. It was like a real voice i heard. Mostly i think that i have to make a maximal achievement in every thing i do.... all things have to be perfect done.

Lately, i feel that i've done wrong things... i think that i've done my best but there's nothing i could get from it.

When i read this verse, i realized that i've done bad response and i want to change my heart and thoughts.

Faith

I want to entrust my life to God and believe that God has kept His best reward for me.

Only God who gives the reward.

Hope

There's a time for every thing...

Keep believing that His time will come...

Love

I have to love people who have rejected and humiliated me.

Even though it isn't easy... i want to learn doing those things...

I believe that i can do every thing with Him.

FHL #2

Strenghthening my faith...

This second day of FHL Challenge I read Colossians 2.
I found an interesting thing at verse 7...
"rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing in thankfulness."

Faith

My faith has to be strengthened day by day... The question is by what?

It is surely by His Word which has been taught in my life.

I have to be rooted and built up in Him by His Word, so that i can grow and become a strong person in spirit and in truth.

Hope

Christ is the Hope of Glory.

I have to reach it till the end of the day.

Love

To love His Word and meditate it day and night is my desire.

How great He is....

FHL #1...

Starting on Monday, i challenged myself to have a new breakthrough about Faith, Hope and Love... I just want to have a new mind set and discipline in doing something like this... reading, writing and sharing...

As we know that it isn't easy to face these days but we have to...

We can only face our lives with Him... We need God to help us... We need the power of His Word to change hearts and minds...

Here's the sharing of my first day in FHL Challenge...

I read Proverbs 22... When i read verse 29, - "Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men." - i got something in my heart... i felt God spoke spesifically for my life...

Faith:

In everything i do, i believe that God is still in control.

I do my job not for men but for God...

I believe that i will gain something which He has prepared for me...

Hope:

Even though i see bad or wrong circumstances around me, i wanna see like God sees because I believe that would be better days of working or maybe a challenging new place someday...

Love:

I learn how to love my job, even there's a list of boring job i have... hahahaha... beside that... God also teaches me to love my co-workers although some of them are not cooperative... 

In conclusion, I can't change every thing around me... the one thing i have to do is changing myself... ^_^

Praise God... *_*

sacrifice...

Thinking about sacrifice...i remember about my experience last month when i went to Surabaya for attending my best friend's wedding...
Actually, it was hard for me to decide that trip because i thought about the high cost to go there, especially the flight cost... but someone motivated me to go... and finally i did it...

When i got the best price of ticket, i made a plan to go to Malang City for one night...
In every trip i usually have good planning... but not for last month...
Starting from the first day i arrived, i wanted to have time going from market to market at noon... i did it... but i didn't have enough time going with someone because there's another friend who has been her boyfriend... it happened until my last day in Surabaya...
I planned for a private trip with some close friends only... but the reality was different... hahaha... some new people came and joint the trip... and once again i had to release my comfort zone...

For along the trip i could enjoy...but not at the end of my day... When i arrived at Juanda Airport too early...my heart started grumbling... "How can it be?!?! How fool i am in arranging my schedule...i have never been like this!!". I blamed my best friend for the bad schedule we had...
At that time, i knew that i was wrong... i knew that i had bad response... and i tried to control my feeling and thoughts... 
At the airport, God spoke to me that i had been too egoist... i'd been too perfectionist... Until today, He still speaks to me about what He wants me to learn...
To Love...
To be Ready in everything...

To Love is about to sacrifice...
Sacrifice what we love, what we like, what we want...
To Love is not only about pleasing other but also pleasing God...
I realized that i would have a big satisfaction which couldn't be paid by large amount of money when i see a happiness in someone because of my deed...even though she/he doesn't know how i do it... ^_^

Sacrifice is about feeling pain...
Behind the painful thing we have, there's a beautiful thing that God allows for us to learn...

These days i thank God for the lessons i might learn...
It is not easy but i believe that i am not alone facing those things because He is with me...
Whatever sad or bad experience we have, He is with us... ^_^

Fighting Spirit....

Year 2014, i have passed seven months by the grace of God...

It is not easier than 2013... 

At the end of last year, i was very very under a lot of pressures when i imagined the new year ahead...whereas many hard things had to be faced before leaving 2013...

Finally, i found new strength when i was in Surabaya... I came to church to celebrate old and new with my friends... The sermon strengthened me so much and God spoke to me so clearly about 2014... He said that i had to keep walking no matter what... "Just keep walking on, Vi!", His voice was so gentle and comforted my heart...

I didn't know how i should response that voice... even crying nor laughing, i couldn't do it... I just wrote all things that i felt and what He said to me...

Day by day... Week by week... Month by month... even it's up then down, i tried to fight all the feeling and thoughts... i tried to find new strength...

One thing that i know, i couldn't get any recharge from people around me... I just can have my recharge from The One and Only my God...

Seeking Him in a quiet could give me new power and strength...

Are the problems getting away from me?

NO!!!

They're even added in my life...but the difference is how i face them...

Does the future (God's plans) become more clearly?

IT IS NOT!!!

It's too complicated to say...but i believe that He is always with me to accompany me facing all the "giants"....

He is with us... ^_^

~novitz~

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...^^

~novitz~

something good...

Sometimes we can't avoid some bad things or what we do not like happen in our lives....

We have to face it even though some unpredictable responses are appeared....

But actually, beyond our minds, there is something good for us through the things which are allowed to be happened in us.

I have one experience this year...

On my latest post, I wrote about Respecting Authorities which is very important for us to have as our habit...

It happened when I joint in a teamwork a few months ago.

It became a hardship when I faced it...but it changed into a joyful thing when I knew the goodness behind for my life.

I could learn many from that experience... I learned to trust my new authority even though it was just a temporary for along the training was held... I learned how to have and build a good teamwork where there were many weaknesses in every person. I learned how to have a humble heart despite of the fact couldn't support me...

More than those things above, I can have something which people can't buy and people can't steal it from my life... It's a new good character!

When I tried to share that experience to people after I won it, a few weeks later, there was a news for me... Even though it wasn't a happy thing or it related to my ministry that I had to do... I got something good which could bring me to enter my new and my bigger experience.

It was about a duty to serve people in a training camp in Medan. It will take for about one week for me to be in that city.

It was beyond my thoughts!!!

But it was real!!!

Beside that, last month, a present came for me.

It looks like a long long trip whereas it's usually hard thing for me to leave the office because of my busy job.

And two months ago, I just took a leave for my one week holiday in Vietnam and Cambodia.

I thought it would be impossible to have a permit from my leader.

But I was surprised when my leader said that I would be allowed to go. Woow!!!

It's something good, right?

Something good which happened after a process which I have won...

Maybe we often think that process is a hardship...

Maybe we often avoid it...or

Maybe we often fail to pass it...

But right now I can change my mind about "process"...

I can say that a process is an interesting and challenging thing....

It depends on our minds, i think...

So...what do you think about it?

If you think as how I think, you'll get that "something good" in your life...

Something good that you will not find easily... and can't be stolen from you...

Because it is about your Character...

~novitz~

respecting authorities

"Do for others what you want them to do for you: this is the meaning of the Law of Moses and of the teachings of the prophets."

- Matthew 7:12 -

Do for others what we expect them to do for us... It's about the law of sow and reap... We can't ask others to do something if we don't do the same thing.

Sometimes it is very easy to say and to share this verse. Maybe we have heard about this sermon for many times. But the question is "Have we done it as our habit?"

I want to share what I learn these days about this theme of devotion. Oh yes, sometimes we can share the Word of God easily because we have known the logical meaning of the Word that we share. But, have we counted how many sharings which based on our personal experiences? 

This morning, suddenly my mind was disturbed by this thing and it made me thinking for along this Wednesday.

Respecting Others! Especially Respecting Authorities.

Easy to be said if we have good relationship with them.

Easy to be done if we have the same ways of thinking.

But, how it could be if there are some cases?

In example, if we have different opinion with them, if we know their weaknesses, if we have different principles or the way of thinking with them, Do we Still Be Able To Respect Them?

Those things came to me when I joined in a team-work two weeks ago. Facing different authorities made me learned to have good responses. It is not about the new people as my authorities, but about their leadership styles and temperaments which are contrary with mine... hahaha...

God reminded me to have good response to face them. Even though it was hard for me to accept, but I learned to have a humble heart and opened mind.

Respecting authorities needs a humble and sincere heart. When we know the weaknesses of our authorities, when we find the differences, we have to have those responses so we might have some adjustments with them without any difficulties. Without any difficulties? hahaha...
Yes! I am sure about it!
If we have had those responses as our daily habits, those good habits would become good characters in our lives.

The only challenge that we always face is ourselves!

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for men.

God's Perspective

Life isn't far from what we can name the way of thinking. Something that we think comes from what we see. What we see makes us have opinions...directly or indirectly. 

A direct opinion doesn't come on right away. It should be based on something what we have known before or we have thought about it, even though in different cases. It is called an experience. 

Experience can build a paradigm which causes how we think. 

So, the way of we see and think is called Perspective. How can it grow up in our lives? And what is the relation to God's Perspective?

In life, we can't avoid and be separated from this word...Perspective. It grows up naturally in every person even there's no one teaches or explains it. In fact, since we were in our mother's womb, it has been started. What our parents said and expressed about us could be planted in our lives. In example, if we were rejected by them (our parents) since our mother's pregnancy, even though they haven't told us about it, it could give a big impact for our lives.

I am a person whom ever experienced this thing. I was born by an accident which done by my parents. My mother shocked because of her pregnancy. She tried to make abortion through consumed many things because she dreaded to face the fact. I didn't know about this fact until my mother told me; but my responses, actions, behaviors, the way I felt, the way I thought could show that I was a child who had been rejected. I realized it when I knew God's Truth. It was a long process until I was recovered.

Experiences can make us build something which we think as a truth. No matter our thought is true or not, we have had many paradigms since we were created. As the time goes by it will be added...added...and added.

But I want to tell you about the truth that I believe which is from a greatest book of all. The book of guidance for living which is written His Love Letter for us where we can know about God's Perspective in it... Holy Bible.

What we think and believe should be compared with what is written in the Holy Bible. Because God's Word is the only Truth that we have to believe.

In examples:

If we think and see that we are nothing, His Perspective is different because Isaiah 43:4 says,  

"Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life."

If we think that we are weak and can't do anything, Philippians 4:13 says,

"I can do everything through him who gives me strength."

Those are two examples I can show. There are many elses we will find in the Bible about God's Perspective. Don't hesitate to look for the ways out for our problems from the Holy Bible. And if we have found it, do not forget to meditate and confess it day and night as Joshua 1:8 says, "Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."

This is what I can share to all of you who read this article. I write it because I have experiences with The Truth. Whatever problems that you have right now... learn to see it not only through your perspective, but learn to see and think it from God's Perspective through reading and seeking from His Word.

You'll find New Excitement in life!

God is with you... ^_^

~novitz~

just obey...

These days i am reminded about one word...

OBEY...

Obey what i have to obey...

There is a sacrifice in obedience...

Like what Abraham did when God asked Isaac to be sacrificed.

Let's do the same for God!!!

He is with us... ^^

...same feeling???...

have you ever had this experience? how it would be if you and your close friend have the same feeling to someone? what is the response of your heart if you and your friend like the same man/woman?

it should be terrible situation, right?

hahahaha... ^0^

but in fact, it can be happened... and many people have had this experience... even though it won't be easy to face, we have to have good response to face it!

actually, i had ever had this experience... and it was very difficult time for me and my best friend... my friend and i have the same type of temperament... and 1 thing that became a temptation for our friendship also... yess...it was about the same feeling...a feeling to a man... hahahaha... ^^  

i can tell it (my story), because we have passed and won this phase of our friendship... and after passed that phase, our friendship has been better and better until now... ^^

it's what we call LIFE... ^^

everything can be happened...

but one thing that we should concern....

it's about our response...

our response determines our future and character would be...

no matter the result... the response of heart can prepare us to face the fact...

and the last thing i want to say that we have to keep our friendship better...

Do Not BREAK it because of love only...

but BUILD it based on LOVE...

is it impossible? NO...

is it hard? maybe YES... ^^

so, what you are facing these days... Just FACE It!

God can give us His strength to do everything...

Fightiiiing!!!! HE is with you... ^__^

***

long way ...

Trust... Trust in the Lord... 

Lean not on your own understanding...

In all of your ways, Acknowledge Him...

He'll make your path straight.

Long long way I have to face... I still don't know... but 1 thing that I know... I am not alone walking through that way... Still confuse with what I am thinking about... with what I would choose... but I know that I have to reach my dreams.

I have just talked to my friend... She said to me why she'd just got a dream in her life... why she'd just realized that she had wasted her times... But I said to her...even though she had wasted her times in the past, God still loves her... He proved it with taking her life back to His way and delivered her from everything of her past. God loves her so much, so He wants to give dreams in her life...

In my life... I know that He loves me so much... He always shows me how great is His love... Even though I fell and fell... He picked me up again and again...

I am still waiting for His time in my life... what He's going to do for my future. I know my big dreams... 

I have plans... but I am still waiting for the time...

Though I still don't know when it will come, I have to prepare my life.

It is like I want to build a house... I have to prepare all the materials for building that house... and basically I have to have money to buy all of the materials.

Now... forget the past time... look at the future...

Prepare our lives to face it!

He is with us... 

Let's enjoy our journeys... ^^

Blessed my thoughts... my dreams... my imagination...in You.

My Second Time ... (=part 2=)

I continue the story...

My first day was started with the journey to observe the place of the conference at Suntec. Then I went to the Fountain of Wealth that not far from there. Enjoying the night with freely breathing (very very different than Jakarta). Though for along in Singapore I had to walk to reach some places, I didn't feel too tired. Because there's no pollution there. I felt healthier than before... ^__^

The second day I went to Marina Bay. You know what? Finally I could enter the Esplanade, it's the Theatre Building near the mouth of Singapore River. I didn't forget to take picture at Merlion Statue. After that, I and my friends went to Little India, bought some snacks for gift at Mustafa Center (near the Farrer Park, too). In 2006, I went there to buy a backpack only.

The third day was continued to shop at Bugis Street. Woow... many things I could find there... accessories, t-shirt, snacks, handbag, backpack, etc. I just bought a set of bracelet, some t-shirts and I bought a purse for my handphone at Bugis Junction. After finishing the shopping, I continued the journey to Clarke Quay... a beautiful place to enjoy the beautiful scenery at night.

Fourth day came... it was the last day of conference. I and my friends went to Sentosa Island to watch Song of the Sea. It's a dancing fountains show with the operetta and laser animation. I don't be able to upload the picture, because my camera couldn't take the best quality picture... only recorded a part of the show by my video cam.

The fifth day is Sunday. I went to Sunday Service in the morning, then continued the journey to Science Center at Jurong East. It's been long time I wanted to go to a kind of science center... and finally I got there, but not in Indonesia... hehehe...At the evening, I had my dinner at Orchard Road.

Oh yes... wherever I go, I will not forget to try the food... Here are some foodies that I didn't forget to capture.

The sixth day was coming... it's my last day in Singapore... The journey to Universal Studio of Singapore at Sentosa Island. It's like Dunia Fantasi if in Jakarta... but it's smaller and there're some different things. I had planned about it before... going to Universal Studio was my target... hahahaha... ^_^

A great journey.... And I won't forget all six days of experiences in there... and all the characters that God allowed me to have.... hehehe... getting along and knowing some friends deeper than before, made me growing up in my attitude and character.

See you on my next journeys... ^^

He's with us.

***

My Second Time ... (=part 1=)

At the beginning of last month, I wrote about a journey that I would have... a gift from above... And now is the time for me to tell the story that I had for along six days in Singapore.

I was sent by my office to attend Leadership Conference held on 21st - 23rd of July, 2011. That's my second time going to Singapore by the grace of God. The first time was in 2006. Woow... almost 5 years ago...

But last month wasn't just for holiday as I had in 2006, that's an equiping for me, too.

I went there with some of my office friends... I stayed at Chinatown with 3 other persons in a small room without bathroom inside but with the lower price than others. Actually, I really enjoyed this trip...because it's like a second miracle for my life. But in fact, since the first day, there're many obstacles which could cheat the peace in my heart. Going with many friends isn't easy... that's what I experienced with my journey.

The circumstances challenged me to be more patient than before. You know, I'd written about Patient last year... Patient means long suffering... and I think, it was my new level of patient. Hahahaha....

I got many things for along the conference. All the topics talked about Heart, Mind and Habits. To be a better leader, we have to have a heart changing that started in our mind which could give impact to our habits. I joined a workshop about How to Prevent the Leadership Burnout. I realized that I had the symptoms of burnout. I knew the best way to prevent it, actually... and I tried to struggle and fight everyday to prevent it. The only best way to prevent it is to have good relationship with God...having a regular quiet time and solitude.

Great conference, i think!!!

I thought what I would do after following the conference....... ^^

Be Joyful !!!

Let your hope keep you joyful,

be patient in your troubles,

and

pray at all times.

These weeks are running fastly... it's been the second month of 2011... many things happen in the beginning of this year... lovely, sad, sweet and so on...

If the good experience, it could make us happy and diligent to do something... but if it's sadly... sometimes we can't have a good response.

There's a lovely thing has happened at the beginning of this year... Lovely to do something good for others... to encourage for having enthusiastic passion in building relationship with God.

But at the other side, there's a sad story happened in my life... Again and again, it's about yielding my right... It happened last week... it's been more than one week right now, actually... When I was at a coffee shop, I did a careless thing that I'd never thought before, because in my mind I very trusted that place was a safety place.. so I left all my equipments for a while, except my wallet, to buy a cake at the bar of that cafe.

Maybe you can guess it fastly what had happened after...

I've lost something !!!

I've lost my beloved cell phones... both of them...

It's a terrible thing and I'd never thought or imagined it before... but it was a fact!!! hahaha...

But something different happened in me... it wasn't like me... I did a different response... I felt like I had been ready to face this thing... I wasn't angry with the man who has taken my cell phones... even I could bless that people and the family. Maybe they needed money, I thought... But I was sad because of the datas only...

I learn in practice about "Yielding my right"... I could release all my cell phones, and I said to some people... All of my stuffs are belong to GOD, they are from GOD, the money that I have to buy them is from GOD, too... so, if I lose them... the cheater doesn't have a business with me... but she/he has a business with GOD.

I learn to thank GOD... I learn to be joyful in everything...

I learn much through this matter.

I don't let the satan takes place of this matter...

I learn to keep my heart being joyful though it's sad thing for me.

I know that I have a Great God... A rich Heavenly Father...

HE can give me the new cell phones... hahaha... ^^

There's a power in giving HIM thanks... I've got a little support from my friend and my aunt to buy a new cell phone. That's a great thing for me... ^^

Thanks God for teaching me this valuable experience...

I learn to be more careful... ^^

And I pray for the people who has cheated my phones could know JESUS and becomes HIS disciple.

My Review of 2010

This is new year. We've just on the 8th day of  2011. Many experiences I have passed in 2010, and of course have new goals for 2011. I learned many things in 2010... Love...Obedience and Trusting God...and How to express Love through Giving. It wasn't easy... but all brought goodness in my life.

Love... I learned how to forgive and how to give. Loving isn't just about feelings, but it talks about DECISION. How to love others like God has loved us first. Maybe it's very easy to speak about it, but when I experienced it, I needed much grace to do it. But... the other side, God taught me to:

Obey and Trust in HIM... Great Year to find... God taught me to full obey and trust Him. Learned to release all of my feeling, hope and love. But I did it freely and could find happiness in my heart after I did it. I just thought that I wanted to obey God, I didn't care what would people think about myself. I felt a brave heart to do it. God spoke to me that I just had a business with Him and He's with my heart. I learned to trust and entrust my life to His Hand. Till the next level came to me in the mid of the year... it's the level of:

GIVING... I learned to obey what God wanted from me. He asked what I hadn't got yet to offer to Him as a sacrifice. It's about money. I got a bonus from office, and He asked me before I got it, He asked me to bless Education Project in Bali. It's amazing thing, and I loved it so much to do it. Beside that, many experiences about giving that He taught me. Lovely...Great...Beautiful...

Those are my experiences in 2010. Three big things that I learned.

How about you?

Let's live our lives with God. It will be more beautiful. 

Blessings.

..Love in Life Practice..



How great were my days where I'd been allowed to face many things in my family. It happened in my home. It started since the end of last month, where my mom and I were surprised by a news about my uncle. It suddenly happened by the SMS that we received, that my uncle and his wife and one of his daughter wanted to come to my home. It's caused of the job interview that must be followed by my uncle in Jakarta. Since then, we knew that my uncle and family had been moved from Batam to Semarang.

The first week of December, my uncle started his new job and stayed at my home. Actually, I was struggling to accept him in my house, because he's smoking. Beside that, he and his family have made my big fam angry since the first time they got married. It's like a habit... if they were happy, they forgot us, the family in Jakarta... but if they were in trouble, they remembered and asked for help from us, especially from my mom and me.

I've ever angry about it, too... but I learned to forgive them... learned to bless them with everything I could give... I've ever thought about it, and I felt proud that I could give my hand to them. Though I couldn't give much money, I could bless them. When they were at my home, I tried to do the same... though my mom, bro and I couldn't accept some of their deeds and habits.

It's easy to say the word "LOVE"...

but it isn't easy to make it into "Reality"...

This is what God has taught me for along this month...

When Christmas came a few days ago, God reminded me about it... "LOVE"

Christmas talks about Love & Forgive...

Both of those words have the same meaning behind...

It's about GIVING...

God has teaches us to Give His Love and ForGive all of our sins...

So, we have to do the same that He has taught to us...

Difficult or Easy?

The answer is Just Do It !!!  Obey !!!

Let's make Love isn't just one beautiful word...

but...

Let's make it into Reality in Life Practice...

Have a joyful journeys with Him
