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... "

His Grace be with you...

An interesting thing i've found today is about Paul's closing statement in every letter that he wrote in the Bible...He wrote that the grace of Jesus Christ be with you...

I do not know exactly about the circumstances of the church on that era... Based on what i read, persecution was always waiting for the people whom found out as the follower of Christ.

If i think about it, it must be hard to face by the church so that Paul always encouraged them with those words in every closing statement of his letters.

When i read it, it strengthens me so much...

It wasn't by chance for Paul saying that powerful words... I believe that God gave special revelation for Paul to write every word of his letters, including the closing statement, and it becomes a powerful blessing for me and for all the people who believe in Him too...

Whatever life-challenge we might face these days, remember that God's grace is always be with us!

Emmanuel...!!!

Love,

When He entrusts us...

When He entrusts us something, it must be a big responsibility...

When He entrusts us something, it won't be a duty we can't do...

For He knows our strength more than what we know about ourselves...

Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us...

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.
