real love in practice...

Yesterday when i had my devotion in the morning, i thought about Love that I learned from last week Sunday Service.

I saw a picture above on my mobile phone that i took last Friday on Anny's birthday.

Anny is someone whom i have mentored for about 4 years. I do it with Cen and Dj. Cen and Dj are my partners in my ministry at Education Department.

Actually, I know Anny from Dj and we have good relationship until today.

When the first time i knew Anny, she wasn't as she is today... I can see she has changed in her heart, emotion and characters since she knows Jesus more deeply.

It wasn't the easy thing to mentor Anny because she has no good background of life.

These days, i am amazed of God's doing in her life.

I realized about real love to practice when i mentor Anny. Not only me but also Cen and Dj.

God teaches me to be more and more patient even though there was much suffering that i had.

Spending time frequently to meet her.... to have a chit chat.... to teach her about positive thinking and to know the Truth...

I can't count all things i've done but I can't count more and more blessings that God gives to me and especially to Anny so that she can mentor other people whom God gives to her life now.

I just can pray for her to have a strong spirit to live her life and be bold in everything she does to share God's love to other and especially to her family because she longs for God to touch her family too.

That's what i want to share today about what i feel and experience these days.... Maybe next time, after i have a permit from Anny to write more about her life, i will share it on this blog....

Love... Love... Love...

Psalms 16:7

I praise You, Lord, for being my guide. Even in the darkest night, Your teachings fill my mind.

(Psalms 16:7 - CEV)

I like this verse so much when i read it this morning...

It reminds me about my days with Him since i was still a student of Junior and Senior High School. I remember every i went out lonely and had to go home lately at night, He guides me even until today.... I don't fear anything because one thing that i know He is with me.

Many times for along i am on my way back home after working, He leads and protects me...even though for a few times the pick pocket tried to take my belonging...

This verse is the basic thing that reminds me every day to think about what He has done in me and to give Him thanks... Sometimes i can take a note before sleep at night when i remember something that make me amazed.

His teachings fill my mind...

Even to a little thing, He reminds me...

Actually, the time before I sleep is the best time to have a journal for a day...

It is a lovely thing i usually do since i was at junior high school.

FHL #6 ... How majestic is Your name...

O Lord... our Lord...

How majestic is Your name in all the earth...

You have set Your glory above the heavens...

Suddenly after reading this verse, i felt amazed.... i said to God, "How great is my God... who am i that You have given your life for me on calvary?... Thank you for loving me... You lifted me up from my sins and cleansed it away... Beautiful is Your love, Lord... How powerful is Your name... I am nothing without You..."

My faith is raising up...

My soul is longing for His love...

Every day and every time i think of Him...

He strengthens me again and again...

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....
