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 😄😊

rejoice in hope

Habakuk 3:16-19 Sekalipun pohon ara tidak berbunga, pohon anggur tidak berbuah, hasil pohon zaitun mengecewakan, sekalipun ladang-ladang tidak menghasilkan bahan makanan, kambing domba terhalau dari kurungan, dan tidak ada lembu sapi dalam kandang, namun aku akan bersorak-sorak di dalam TUHAN, beria-ria di dalam Allah yang menyelamatkan aku. ALLAH Tuhanku itu kekuatanku: Ia membuat kakiku seperti kaki rusa, Ia membiarkan aku berjejak di bukit-bukitku. (Untuk pemimpin biduan. Dengan permainan kecapi). Jika Tuhan yang memberi, maka Tuhan juga berhak mengambilnya. Jika datang satu masa di mana apa yang saya punya tidak lagi saya miliki, biarlah di masa tersebut saya tetap memuji Dia dan mengasihi Dia sama seperti ketika Dia memberikan saya semuanya. Tetap bersukacita dalam pengharapan. Jika mengasihi Tuhan adalah dengan segenap hati, jiwa, dan kekuatan, maka ujilah saya untuk bisa mengasihi Tuhan dengan segenap hidup saya. Bukan karena apa yang Dia beri, tapi karena saya mengenal Dia. Karena saya mengerti bahwa saya diciptakan bukan untuk diri saya, memperkaya pribadi saya, tapi bagaimana saya memperkaya hidup orang lain lewat membawa mereka mengenal Tuhan. Jika tiba saatnya di mana saya harus pergi meninggalkan semua hal yang membuat saya nyaman, biarkan saya pergi karena saya mendengar suaraMu. Biar sepanjang hidup saya, saya mengejar perkenanan Tuhan dan bukan manusia. Sebab jauh lebih mulia kemuliaan Tuhan daripada kemuliaan dunia. Saya masih percaya bahwa di luar telapak kaki saya, ada telapak kaki Dia yang menuntun saya kemanapun saya pergi. Thank You Lord, for a gentle voice through today's sermon 😊
