God won't ask you

Once upon a time two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict.

It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed without a hitch.

Then the long collaboration fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.

One morning there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox. "I'm looking for a few days work" he said. "Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with? Could I help you?"


"Yes," said the older brother. "I do have a job for you. Look across the creek at that farm. That's my neighbor, in fact, it's my younger brother.

Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I'll go him one better. See that pile of lumber by the barn? I want you to build me a fence - - an 8-foot fence -- so I won't need to see his place or his face anymore."

The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you."

The older brother had to go to town, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing.

About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job.

The farmer's eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge -- a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work handrails and all -- and the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming across, his hand outstretched. "You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done."

The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hand. They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox on his shoulder.

"No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother.

"I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, "but, I have many more bridges to build."

REMEMBER THIS:
    God won't ask what kind of car you drove, but He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.

    God won't ask the square footage of your house, but He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.

    God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, but He'll ask how many you helped to clothe.

    God won't ask about your social status; He will ask what kind of class you displayed.

    God won't ask how many material possession you had, but He'll ask if they dictated your life.

    God won't ask what your highest salary was, but He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.

    God won't ask how much overtime you worked, but He'll ask if your overtime work was for yourself or for your family.

    God won't ask how many promotions you received, but He'll ask how you promoted others.

    God won't ask what your job title was, but He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.

    God won't ask what you did to help yourself, but He'll ask what you did to help others.

    God won't ask how many friends you had, but He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.

    God won't ask what you did to protect your rights, but He'll ask what you did to protect the rights of others.

    God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, but He'll ask how you treated your neighbors.

    God won't ask about the color of your skin, but He'll ask about the content of your character.

    God won't ask how many times your deeds matched your words, but He'll ask how many times they didn't.

    God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation, but He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.

Keep in touch - Friendship



It all started so innocently. We met as strangers, thrown together by fate. Some of you grow up with me, others I have only known a short while. Some of you I have hugged constantly over the years, and others I met at a time when hugging was 'un-cool', and it has stayed that way, though the times have changed around us. Some of you I have not yet met in person.


Every one of you has enriched my life. You have helped to teach me, to guide me on this often turning and forking road of life. You have been with me through the good times and the bad. You have comforted me when I cried, held me when I was afraid, and laughed with me when I was happy.

You had walked with me for so long that I was afraid to venture on alone even on the Internet. Yet even as I feared the dark of night, along came others to help me on my journey, in hopes that I would walk with them so they need not journey on alone. They picked up where you left off, and now they are no longer strangers.

Who are you? You might be my brother, my sister, my cousin, an old acquaintance or a new one. But first and foremost, I call you friend. And I miss you if you are away, and if you are here, then I thank you for visiting my site and leave comment even just to say Hello.....

And so I send you this, so that you might know that someone, somewhere, is thinking of you, praying for you, and loving you. And that person is me. May God grant you peace and happiness in your times of trial, and watch over you, so that one day we will meet again.

It is by chance we met, by choice we became friends...

Friendship is a strange thing....we find ourselves telling each other the deepest details of our lives...things we don't even share with our families who raised us...But what is a friend? A confidant? A lover? A fellow email junkie? A shoulder to cry on? an ear to listen? a heart to feel?

A friend is all these things...and more.

Whether we met over The World, over Resort, or SE, or anywhere...I call you friend.

A word so small...yet so large in feeling a word filled with emotion. It is true great things come in small packages. Once the package of friendship has been opened, it can never be closed. It is a constant book always written...waiting to be read...and enjoyed.

We may have our disagreements...we may argue...we may concern one another...

Friendship is a unique bond that lasts through it all....
A part of me is put into my friends...some it is my humor...some it is my listening ear...some it is real life experiences...some it is my romanticism...but with all, it is friendship.

.............Friendships forged are a construct stronger than steel...built as a foundation....necessary for life...and necessary for love.

Friends...you and me.....you brought another friend...and then there were 3... ....we started our group....Our circle of friends........and like that circle...there is no beginning or end......Keep in touch....

And the last I wishing you HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND...That's so wonderful out there...

Hope to see you next month and later on......God Bless you All...!

Be More Happiness - Friendship article

The essence of Life is not just to be happy but to make others happy as well.

If you want happiness, make others happy to help and give back to others what God has endowed in you.

This is just a short story about be more happiness in life.



Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window.


The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene. One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. Then unexpectedly, a sinister thought entered his mind. Why should the other man alone experience all the pleasures of seeing everything while he himself never got to see anything? It didn't seem fair.

At first thought the man felt ashamed. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sights, his envy eroded into resentment and soon turned him sour. He began to brood and he found himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window - that thought, and only that thought now controlled his life.

Late one night as he lay staring at the ceiling, the man by the window began to cough. He was choking on the fluid in his lungs. The other man watched in the dimly lit room as the struggling man by the window groped for the button to call for help. Listening from across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button, which would have brought the nurse running in. In less than five minutes the coughing and choking stopped along with that the sound of breathing. Now there was only silence-deathly silence.

The following morning the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths. When she found the lifeless body of the man by the window, she was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take it away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it all himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."

Moral

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all of the things you have that money can't buy.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift that's why it's called the present.

If you find some one without smile give one of yours...!! Lord in His wisdom will take care of you...God bless you!

Life is special - Friendship article

Two travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.

The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.

As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, "Things aren't always what they seem."


The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen? The first man had everything, yet you helped him and the second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.

"Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied. "When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t find it."

"Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren't always what they seem."

Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage. You might not know it until some time later...

Some people come into our lives and quickly go…
Some people become friends and stay awhile...
leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts...
and we are never quite the same because we have made a good friend!!

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!

Light to the soul

Most people feel good if the weather is fine, but will be gloomy if the sky visible overcast. To exploit this condition, Tourism industry offering many glorious weather moment vacation package.

There is nothing wrong, we enjoy sunshine and all easiness accompanying it.

But, if we always rely on fine weather for pleasure us, hence our mood also can change like weather.

That's the condition of me when still adolescent and not yet become a real Christian.


I always check situation of the weather, every morning.
I am happy when weather is fine then I am sad if overcast.

One night, I am conscious that I require Lord. I accept His pardon to my sin and invite Him to live in my life. Then tomorrow morning I’m forget to check the weather!, but that’s no more matters "The truth light" had enlightened my life and replaced the source of that dicey part with His Blessed.

After that time, even my personal life is often got trouble, but the God have come as "Shield and Sun" in my life (The LORD God is a sun and shield. The LORD grants favor and honor. He does not hold back any blessing from those who live innocently.)

It is true I still take a fancy to sunshine day, but now I’m not “Sun Devotee” anymore.

Now I’m children of God which Lord always shine at my heart, however situation of weather outside

Which one of you ? God enlightened your life or depend to the weather?

My Wishing:
  • That I may know him,
  • And the power of HIS resurrection,
  • And the fellowship of HIS suffering,
  • Being made conformable unto His death:

    • I call your Name,
    • Exclaim to You
    • Cause you are the God,
    • is King of the king and the owner of my life

  • I raise my hand, surendering at YOU
  • Your power makes me more than a winner

    • Cause you God is my Redeemer
    • Cause you God is my Sun and Shield
    • Cause you God is my Rescuer

Peaceful - Weekend prayer

For me, prayer is a conversation or dialogued by heart with God.

That’s a beautiful moment together with God which seriously loves us.


GOD, make us as peaceful carrier


  • ...... On the happening of dislike, make us as carrier love
  • ...... On the happening of mistake, make us as pardon carrier
  • ...... On the happening of anxiety, make us as certainty carrier
  • ...... On the happening of hopeless, make us as expectation carrier
  • ...... On the happening of darkness, make us as evident
  • ...... On the happening of sorrow, make us as glad carrier






Oh my Lord, give us your blessing…..


    • so... that I’m not look for to be amused but to amuse others
    • So... that I’m not look for to be comprehended but to comprehend
    • So... that I’m not look for to be loved but to love your children




Because by giving we accept, by forgiving we are forgiven and with your blessed, we will get life.

Be ye Merciful

There is a husband got internal issue problem communicate with his wife, he say that his wife is not a good listener. For the reason, he shall to make a test that undetected his wife.

At an evening he sitting far from his room, his wife is overshadowing him, so she lose sight over him.

Considerably slow the husband says, "Hi...Do you hear my Voice..?", ....there is no comment from his wife.

He's near by a few, then again asked her, "Hi...Do you hear my Voice..?", again...,there is no comment


Then without voice he going forward nearer and saying the same words, but still there is no comment.

Finally, he standing up precisely behind his wife and asked, "Hi...Do you hear my voice..?"

He is surprised and sorrowful when his wife answered him with angry, "Yes, that's the fourth called....!"

Shall we blame our couple for unknowingly the problem of which in fact..??
We have to check and asked our couple what's wrong before blaming them.

This is an example about judging. Most of us criticize the mistake of others, to shut up that we also often doing the same mistake.

We also tend to find the mistake of others, which in fact not its mistake but our mistaken.

God recognize the nature of us with better, that's why he says, "Be ye therefore merciful" as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judget; condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven" (luke 6:36,37)

Give Thanks

Thanks goodness utterance non simply by us to say, but have to be pushed by belief. Just be grateful, without realized in our life it doesn't mean anything.

We are taught, always to be grateful to the GOD. If we grateful cause we are blessed, for example anniversary moment, occupation promotion or have new house, that's have become ordinary matter.



But if we find difficulties like, dismissing from work, ill, etc, still can we say thanks to the God?

If we still can, this is amazing. This is our Lord wanted from us.

We have to Learn, be always grateful..!

Don't limit our thanks utterance to the Lord by condition or situation which is happened.


When we can say thanks to the God in all situation, that's the power of Lord expressed.

Because thanks utterance have power which is equal to the power of prayer and praise.

People who always grateful without grumbling, That is a Children of God and God will always be with you.

From now on, say Thanks to the Lord for the goodness or badness in our life, we have to try doing it and trusted that He is Good...God bless you...!

Tripartite being


W
e are a tripartite being, having body, soul and spirit.

Whereas we aspire to spiritual perfection, being filled with love for God and our neighbors, it is a fact that our spiritual life is governed very much by the other two parts of our being.

This is a very important truth in the life of a children of God and keeping balance of Body, Soul and Spirit is basic secret of becoming a children of God.

I believe that we are composed of Body, Soul and Spirit and this is holy award from the God to us, So we have to keep the balance for our long life. The description of our tripartite being as follows:

  • BODY – the outer world of physical health, beauty and well-being. The physical body, it's health and wellbeing or dis-ease expresses the condition of our emotional and mental wellbeing. The body is a reflection of a soul that is whole and a spirit that is fulfilled, rather than a representation of the typically human standard of goodness or perfection.

  • SOUL – the essence of our inner world, where we enter into the delights and dilemmas of interior life - diving into the heart and thoughts that influence the very fabric of our lives.

  • SPIRIT – is the source of our wisdom, our connection with God, our blessings and curses, and our general life orientation and deepest character.


To exercise, eat right and sleep well are the basic tenants for having a healthy body.

If our body however, is overweight, sluggish and not in tip top running condition, it has a profound effect upon our soul, which becomes subject to moods and depressions. This in turn diminishes our spiritual potential. When this happens life is painful and often becomes dysfunctional. So, if you want to get long life and blessed by the God, keep your body health like eat right. Eating good food and blessed food is a most important to keep balance of our tripartite being.

May the Lord help you to adjust likewise so that we can be sanctified wholly - "Body, Soul, and Spirit."

Your Angel "Mommy"


Once upon a time there was a child waiting to be born.

So one day, he asked God, "They tell me that you are going to send me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

God replied, "Among the many angels I chose one to take care of you."


"But tell me, here in heaven I don't do anything but sing and smile; that's enough for me to be happy."

"Your angel will sing for you and smile for you, and that's enough for you to be happy,” said God.

"And how am I going to understand what men talk, when I cannot speak the language that men speak?"

"Your angel will speak the most beautiful words that men talk, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you to speak."

Then the little angel asked: "And what am I going to do if I want to speak to you?"

"Your angel will place your hands together and teach you how to pray", reassured God.

"I've heard that on earth there are bad men."

"Your angel will protect you, even if it means risking its life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore", said the little one.

"Your angel will always talk to you and teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard and the child in a hurry asked softly: "Oh God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."

"Your angel's name is of no importance,” said God, ”You will call your angel "Mommy."

Women

When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day
An angel came by and said: "Why spend so much time on that one?"

And the Lord answered:"Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her ?"

"She must be washable, but not made of plastic, have more than 200 moving parts which all must be replaceable and she must function on all kinds of food, she must be able to embrace several kids at the same time, give a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart and she must do all this with only two hands".

The angel was impressed.

"Just two hands....impossible!"

And this is the standard model?!

"Too much work for one day....wait until tomorrow and then complete her".

"I will not”, said the Lord. "I am so close to complete this creation, which will be the favorite of my heart”.

"She cures herself when sick and she can work 18 hours a day”.

The angel came nearer and touched the woman.

"But you have made her so soft, Lord” "She is soft", said the Lord, "But I have also made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome."

"Can she think?" the angel asked.

The Lord answered:

"Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate."


The angel touched the womans cheek....
"Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her.”

"She is not leaking....it’s a tear” the lord corrected the angel

"What’s it for?" asked the angel.

And the Lord said:

"Tears are her way of expressing grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.”


This made a big impression on the angel; "Lord, you are genius.
You thought of everything. The woman is indeed marvellous!"

Indeed she is!

Woman has strengths that amazes man.
She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love and opinions.
She smiles when feeling like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying, crys when she is happy and laughs when she is afraid.

She fights for what she believes in.
Stand up against injustice.
She doesn’t take "no" for an answer, when she can see a better solution. She gives herself so her family can thrive. She takes her friend to the doctor if she is afraid.
Her love is unconditional.

She cries when her kids are victorious. She is happy when her friends do well.
She is glad when she hears of a birth or a wedding.

Her heart is broken when a next of kin or friend dies.
But she finds the strength to get on with life.

She knows that a kiss and a hug can heal a broken heart.

There is only one thing wrong with her:

She forgets what she is worth

Dying

Perhaps something is amiss or has gone awry, but the Lord is still in charge and He has promised never to leave you nor forsake you.

Give God the praise for what He is doing in your life right now.


One Life…

First I was dying to finish high school and start college.


And then I was dying to finish college and start working.


Then I was dying to marry and have children.


And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough so I could go back to work.




But then ......
I was dying to retire.


And now, I am dying . . .And suddenly I realized I forgot to live.


Please don’t let this happen to you. Appreciate your current situation



Thanks God for the good and bad in your life.


If you are living for God, your current situations are working for good.


Remember that everyday is a day of thanksgiving. Give God the praise for what He is doing in your life right now.


Perhaps something is amiss or has gone awry, but the Lord is still in charge and He has promised never to leave you nor forsake you.


The song declares that, This Too Shall Pass, because God is working it out for you.


While you are in the now, God is in the NOT YET!!!


Have a Wonderful and Blessed Day!!!

GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU!

I have learned the secret to makes us happy, tell your friends about this secret once you get it.



One day, one friend asked another,


"How is it that you are always so happy? You have so much energy, and you never seem to get down."



With her eyes smiling, she said,

"I know the Secret!" "What secret is that?" To which she replied, "I'll tell you all about it, but you have to promise to share the Secret with others."




"The Secret is :

I have learned there is little I can do in my life that will make me truly happy. I must depend on God to make me happy and to meet my needs. When a need arises in my life, I have to trust God to supply according to HIS riches. I have learned most of the time I don't need half of what I think I do. He has never let me down. Since I learned that 'Secret', I am happy."



The questioner's first thought was,

"That's too simple!" But upon reflecting over her own life she recalled how she thought a bigger house would make her happy, but it didn't! She thought a better paying job would make her happy, but it hadn't. When did she realize her greatest happiness? Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren, or other children, playing games, eating pizza or reading a story, a simple gift from God.


Now you know it too!

We can't depend on people to make us happy. Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that. Trust HIM! And now I pass the Secret on to you! So once you get it, what will you do?




You have to tell someone the Secret, too!

That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU! But it's not really a secret... We just have to believe it and do it... Really trust God!



and the last, i wanna tell you happy great weekend there is so wonderful out there and thanks for visit mine. GOD Blessed us.......

Peace be unto you

The First day of the week cometh mary Magdalena early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

2. Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom JESUS loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we do not know where they have laid him.

3. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple , and came to the sepulchre.

4. So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

5. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying, yet when he not in.

6. Then the cometh Simon Peter following him , and went in into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie.

7. And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

8. Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

9. For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from dead.

10. Then the disciple went away again unto their own home.

11. But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

12. And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of JESUS had lain.

13. And they say unto her, Women, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.

14. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw JESUS standing, and do not knew that it was JESUS.

15. JESUS saith unto her, Women, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

16. JESUS saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

17. JESUS saith unto her, touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unti my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and your God.

18. Mary Magdalena came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

19. Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assamble for fear of the Jews, came JESUS and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

20. And when he had to said, he showed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.

21. Then JESUS said to them again, Peace be unto you, ……. Etc….etc……etc….

This is the story of Jesus taken from the Bible, (JOHN 20)

What’s the message from this subsection ? for me it’s amazing, nobody in the world raise up from the dead, and this is his Lord proven.

The first word from Him when he raised from the dead is Peace be unto you.

I like this word, this is means Peace be unto me and all of you too. From this moment life has began, Lord Father sacrifaced JESUS to save our life that who believe in JESUS. Did you like this word ?

So Peace be unto you and me. God bless us….caused JESUS loved us and the grace of our Lord JESUS Christ be with you. Amen.

Kasih Bapa

.

Kasih Bapa

Sesudah menyalibkan Dia mereka membagi-bagi pakaian-Nya dengan membuang undi ….

(Matius 27:35)

Pada Tahun 1968 Laksamana Elmo Zumwalt Jr. menjadi pemimpin Pasukan angkatan Lau Amerika di Vietnam. Untuk menekan jumlah korban, ia memerintahkan agar jalan air disemprotkan dengan bahan kimia yang mematikan tanaman, Agent Orange. Dengan demikian kerimbunan hutan akan berkurang sehingga orang-orang Vietnam Utara akan sulit melakukan serangan tiba-tiba terhadap kapal patroli Angkatan Laut.

Salah satu dari kapal-kapal patroli itu dipimpin oleh anak laki-lakinya yang masih berusia 21 tahun, Letnan Elmo Zumwalt III. Dan, ia meninggal karena kanker pada tahun 1988. Laksamana Elmo yakin bahwa Agent Orange-lah yang mejadi penyebab kematian anaknya. Sungguh merupakan Kisah yang menharukan tentang seorang ayah yang karena keputusannya sendiri telah mengakibatkan penderitaan bahkan kematian bagi anaknya.

Betapa lebih memilukan kesedihan yang dialami Allah Bapa takkala Dia harus menyediakan keselamatan bagi kita! Dia telah mengambil keputusan yang mengakibatkan kesengsaraan yang tak terkira bagi Putra tanggal-Nya. Bayangkan bagaimana perasaan Allah ketika menyaksikan anak-Nya menerima cemooh banyak orang, dicambuk, dan kesakitan ketika paku menembus tangan dan kaki-Nya. Dia harus menanggung beban dan penghinaan yang tak terkira karena dosa-dosa kita, serta kesengsaraan yang tak terkatakan karena diasingkan dan dicampakkan.

Ya Bapa, ampunilah kami karena menambah penderitaan-Mu dengan kurang bersyukur. Tolonglah kami agar dalam hidup ini kami lebih menghormati Anak-Mu yang Kudus yang telah mengalahkan dosa dan maut demi keselamatan kami.

Selamat hari Paskah (Happy Easter 2007) may God Blessed us……

“Sebab Juga Kristus telah sekali mati untuk segala dosa kita….”

(I Petrus 3:18)


“Orang yang tidak menghargai Anugerah Allah, tidak akan mampu mempertahankan keselamatan yang diberikan oleh-Nya.”

“Tuhan Yesus kumohon kepada-Mu, ampunilah aku, karena selama ini aku kurang menghargai pengorbanan yang telah Kau berikan, hanya karena hal-hal lahiriah. Aku berjanji tak akan meninggalkan-Mu dan akan tetap setia, sampai kelak Yesus datang untuk kedua kalinya. Amin”

Bergantung Pada TUHAN

"Firman-Mu itu pelita bagi kakiku dan terang bagi jalanku" (Mazmur 119:105)

Banyak orang percaya mengatakan, bahwa ia mengandalkan Tuhan dan menaruh harapannya kepada-Nya. Tapi, sebenarnya seringkali ungkapan itu hanyalah sekedar menjadi kata-kata dibibir saja. Dan tidak lebih. Sebab, pada kenyataan hidup sehari-hari, mereka bahkan tidak menunjukkan sikap dan cara hidup yg menunjukkan bahwa mereka sungguh-sungguh bersandar kepada Allah. Setiap orang yg hidup bersandar kepada Allah akan dapat dilihat dari sikap dan cara hidupnya sehari-hari.

Yang pertama, mereka akan bertekun di dalam doa. Kehidupan doa akan mewarnai kehidupan mereka. Selalu meminta pimpinan dan pertolongan Tuhan dalam segala sesuatu, hingga hal terkecil sekalipun. Hidup bergantung sepenuhnya kepada Tuhan, hingga doa sudah bukan lagi suatu keterpaksaan, melainkan menjadi suatu kebutuhan. Waktu-waktu yang ada untuk berdoa, sepertinya selalu tidak cukup, hingga mereka butuh yang lebih banyak lagi.

Yang kedua, mereka akan bertekun di dalam pembacaan firman Tuhan. Bagi mereka, firman Tuhan merupakan penuntun utama, bagi setiap rencana dan keputusan yang hendak mereka buat. Alkitab menjadi "manual book" saat mereka menjalani hidup sehari-hari.
Ketergantungan mereka pada Tuhan. Sebaliknya, mereka seringkali menjadi begitu haus akan firman itu, hingga saat membacanya seringkali jauh melampaui jatah bacaan Alkitab mereka. Yang terpenting bagi mereka adalah keterlibatan Tuhan dalam segala sesuatu. Inilah yang terutama dan mutlak.

Salah satu tanda nyata kehidupan orang yang sungguh-sungguh bersandar kepada Allah adalah jika ia memiliki kehidupan doa dan ketekunan untuk membaca firman Tuhan. Bagaimana dengan Kita (saya dan anda ?) Benarkah kita telah sungguh-sungguh tekun didalam berdoa dan bersandar kepada Tuhan ?

Jika Ya, apa buktinya ? give me comment...
