better than I

For You know better than I You know the way I've let go, the need to know why Cause You know better than I Better than I-Joy Williams

Sometimes, He just wants me to simply obey, no question asked. And yes, throughout this year, there is so many why, how, what, and when questions that have been popped inside my mind. Obedience is the key to fully trusting Him. Eventually, we all walk through the days that we are not knowing what is gonna happen, but then we still have to walk through it. I am reminded that the difference is not about the journey that we are going through, but with Whom the journey is passed. I am confident that He never leave me, despite this long road and uncertain journey. It's still gonna be a long good one, as what He has promised. *big grin*

2017 year of hope

Hope never disappoints

This is what God promised to me for this year. Well, some things are not going well, but God will always lead me to a beautiful ending. I testify His goodness for the past one year, how He is able to do things beyond what eyes could ever imagine. Also, reading 1 Chronicles 17 with the story of David, how he did what God asked him to do, even when he felt worthless.. But, God is faithful to His promises, and He has promised David abundant blessings, and He has fulfilled every single promise made. I pray that may this year be a year of never ending hope, despite the circumstances that happen around me 😊 God is good, and He will always be

percaya versus kuatir?

Mengapa seseorang sulit mempercayai Tuhan? Terlintas di pikiran gw pertanyaan tersebut. Buat orang realis seperti gw, tidak mudah untuk mempercayakan hidup gw kepada Tuhan. Pribadi yang tidak dapat dilihat wujudnya, tetapi dapat dirasakan. Kepercayaan menimbulkan iman. Gw percaya Tuhan bekerja untuk hidup setiap dengan adil, tapi hasilnya ditentukan oleh iman pribadi orsng tersebut kepada Tuhan. Iman yang dimiliki seseorang, akan mendasarkan tindakan. Tindakan yang terkadang dianggap tidak sesuai dengan realita yang ada. 7 By faith, Noah built a ship in the middle of dry land. He was warned about something he couldn’t see, and acted on what he was told. The result? His family was saved. His act of faith drew a sharp line between the evil of the unbelieving world and the rightness of the believing world. As a result, Noah became intimate with God. Hebrews 11:7 | MSG 1. Beriman berarti percaya tanpa curiga, dibuktikan dengan tindakan iman. Nuh tidak mempertanyakan ini dan itu kepada Tuhan, karena dia yakin kepada yang Tuhan perkatakan. Karena itu Nuh berani bertindak di luar realita yang ada, membangun bahtera meskipun tidak ada tanda bahwa akan ada air bah. 2. Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan berarti tinggal tenang karena kita mengenal Dia. Markus 4:35-41 Murid-murid Yesus membangunkan Yesus yang sedang tidur ketika ombak datang, padahal murid-muridNya telah melihat bahwa Yesus telah menyembuhkan orang sakit. Kalau Yesus bisa begitu peduli dengan orang yang disembuhkannya, yang notabene tidak dikenalnya, apalagi dengan murid-muridNya. Gw seringkali melakukan hal yang dilakukan murid-muridNya, panik dan tidak percaya bahwa Tuhan pasti akan menenangkan badai yang gw hadapi. Padahal begitu banyak hal yang telah gw lihat sebagai bukti mukjizat Tuhan. Kita hanya perlu, tenang karena kita tahu bahwa Tuhan ada dan Tuhan pasti menolong. 3. Kepercayaan membawa kita dapat melihat janji Tuhan yang indah Nuh dan keluarganya tidak luput dari bahtera, Yusuf yang menjadi pemimpin atas saudara-saudaranya. Dan banyak contoh-contoh lainnya yang menikmati janji Tuhan sebagai hasil dari kepercayaan kepada Tuhan. Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan tidak pernah mengecewakan, meskipun proses yang dilalui mungkin sulit, tetap percaya. God bless!

feeling loved

10 But because God was so gracious, so very generous, here I am. And I’m not about to let his grace go to waste. Haven’t I worked hard trying to do more than any of the others? Even then, my work didn’t amount to all that much. It was God giving me the work to do, God giving me the energy to do it. 1 Corinthians 15:10 | MSG Today, I remember once again, that I am who I am today it is because God's grace. I don't own a thing or achievement, but then His grace is given to me unconditionally. His grace shows that His love is big enough for me, I don't need to seek for any other love. And what is much more special, that His grace is always be with me, it never leaves me whenever I failed to reckon His goodness. Yep, I am loved and I am precious, because He is there and He is for me 😄

the best is yet to come

41 The Master said, “Martha, dear Martha, you’re fussing far too much and getting yourself worked up over nothing. 42 One thing only is essential, and Mary has chosen it—it’s the main course, and won’t be taken from her.” Luke 10:41-42 | MSG How often we care so much to do things for God? Yet, we forget what really matters is to listen attentively to Him. This morning, I was struck when the preacher said, the best thing that none will be able to taken away is when we have a personal understanding of who God is. Again, God spoke to me personally, He is the God who keep His promises. Nevertheless, to fully understand His promises, we must firstly understand who God is. the best won't be taken away.... 😊😊😊😊 the best is yet to come 😊😊😊😊

grace

20 Samuel said to them, “Don’t be fearful. It’s true that you have done something very wrong. All the same, don’t turn your back on God. Worship and serve him heart and soul! 21 Don’t chase after ghost–gods. 22 There’s nothing to them. They can’t help you. They’re nothing but ghost–gods! God, simply because of who he is, is not going to walk off and leave his people. God took delight in making you into his very own people. 1 Samuel 12:20-22 | MSG The definition of grace is well-defined through these verses. Grace is there even when you keep doing wrong. By grace, God took delight in making me His beloved ones. Grace is not determined by who am I or what I could do for Him, but it is given by Him. Grace is perfect. Nothing and noone could stop us from receiving His grace. Grace is God's given. A perfect and unexchangable gift from God to humans. I shall say, Your grace is enough for today, tomorrow, and the very next days. 😊😊😊😊

let God be my guide

4 years. I pray that on that very moment, my heart will be ready and well prepared for what ahead. pray for the right timing. pray for the family. pray for a faith to move on to a higher level. God's promises won't fail me, He won't. "You will reap on the places where you never sow, it's called grace. Perfect grace that covers all imperfection." And it's enough, He is enough 😄😊
