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

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...
