Dirty feet humble heart

Mirror

Cermin adalah hal yang penting bagi kebanyakan orang. Karena kita harus melakukan recheck bahwa kita telah siap keluar rumah dsb.

Kepada cermin seperti apa kita bercermin? Cermin yang diberi dunia telah dikaburkan, sehingga kita berkaca pada bayangan yang tidak tepat.

Pak DLL menulis, bercerminlah dengan firman Tuhan, itulah gambaran yg sesungguhnya tentang siapa kita. Di mata Tuhan kita adalah mulia (yes. 43)

Apa yang kita lihat saat ini? Apakah yang kita pandang saat ini adalah bayangan yang diciptakan oleh dunia? Atau kita sungguh memahami hati Tuhan yang sangat menyayangi kita, ciptaanNya yang di bentuknya dengan kedua tanganNya?

Ketika kita bercermin dengan cermin yang tepat, yaitu bahwa Allah mengasihi kita, maka kita juga dapat belajar mengasihi orang lain. Memahami bahwa setiap orang bisa saja memandang bayangan cermin yang salah. Bahwa mereka bisa saja tersesat dalam bayangan yang tidak ideal itu. Bahkan akhirnya kita dapat memberikan kepada orang-orang cermin yang benar itu, agar merekapun dapat melihat cerminan yang benar itu.

There is only one thing that I need.

Jesus.

Facing My Giants

I am not able, my God is

I am weak, He is strong

I am vulnerable, He endures the pain for me

I am blind, He sees my every thoughts

I am afraid, He restores my soul

I am sinful, His love is the greatest.

I choose to praise

I know He prays for me

I feel the urge to give up

He is the only thing that i need.

Choosing praise is evidence of a heart that embraces God's faithfulness in every situation, acknowledging that in the midst of a sin-stained world, God is still good. And a heart that knows God's goodness can't help but bring Him glory!

But he answered, "It is written, "'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" Matthew 4:4 ESV

God Is With You

From The Sacred Search devotional.

Remember how we started this book? Seek first the kingdom of God. Not a happy marriage. Not an easy marriage. Not even a wise marriage. Those are all noble pursuits, but the first call of every Christian is to fulfill God’s will for their life and to grow in righteousness. Most of us will not be called into a Hosea marriage, but some of you, even after making a careful choice, may well feel Hosea’s pain of betrayal. This will hurt, but it needn’t wreck or define your life if your spiritual priorities are in the proper order. The truth is, no marriage is easy. There is no guarantee that the person you marry will continue to grow in faith. She may backslide. He may get sick or break psychologically or spiritually. But you’ll be okay. And you’ll grow in the process. That’s a good thing. So take a deep breath. God isn’t going to leave you. Who you marry will affect you, but that person’ needn’t define you. Don’t lose your joy, wonder, or even happiness as you face this season in your life. Life is a journey walked hand in hand with God. We want to walk in wisdom, but God has plenty of experience helping His children work through the consequences of foolish choices (their own and others’). Embrace the soul-healing words of Christ: “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matt. 28:20). * Look at your spiritual life, your prayer life, your romantic life. Are you believing that God will be with you always? Do you trust Him?

“A Good Spouse…”

Is Humble: A quick definition: humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is think less about yourself. It is someone who, like Jesus, believes he has come “not to be served, but to serve.”

Is Able to Forgive: If you believe the Bible, you are going to stumble many times throughout your marriage (James 3:2). You will break your spouse’s heart. You will disappoint her. You will embarrass him. Your sin will inconvenience her. Can I be honest with you? If your boyfriend or girlfriend is having a difficult time forgiving you for things you’ve done while dating, marriage is going to be even harder. When you live together and raise a family together, sins become more apparent, more common, and more consequential. If that person can’t forgive you now, he or she will never be able to forgive you then.

Communicates: Intimacy is build through sharing, listening, understanding, and talking through issues. If someone doesn’t like to talk, refuses to talk, or resents your desire to talk, intimacy building is going to hit a stone wall. In most relationships, the woman will desire to talk more than the man, so women shouldn’t freak out if their boyfriends don’t seem as excited about this aspect of relational building as they are. But, women, if he isn’t growing in his desire to share his heart with you, if he is doing it only to please you, if it feels like a chore to get him to get to know you, if he can’t or won’t ask you a question about yourself—he lacks the basic relational skills to build an intimate marriage.

for "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever." And this word is the good news that was preached to you.

1 Peter 1:24‭-‬25 ESV

4 Months in SAAT

Hey, you again :D

it’s been 4 hectic and rushing months in SAAT. Time flies like dust, a day feels like a blink. it’s been really amazing living here, with all the things I can feel and hear, touch and grip.

firstly, i know God wants me to be here. He answered my prayer one by one and I can feel His closeness to me. There are times that I feel emotionless to Him, but I can always imagine His love following me everyday.

I thought living here would be boring and lifeless, but what I get is joy and favor everyday. I can see the Word mending my hearts, tapping my shoulder and wide open to hug me in my weaknesses. I fell twice in my old sin. I still struggle with it, but I was very grateful that this place allows me to direct my thoughts and minds to something drift me away from this sin. althouh when I feel weak, i tend to lean to this sin.

Still I am happy to belong in a place where everyone is discerning their calling, showing their weaknesses, trying to be genuine and struggle to get closer to God. I love the classes, the chapels, the moments with friends, good or bad, ideal or less ideal, I feel God is talking to me each time.

There are also, moments I cannot accept some of my friends, or maybe my roommate. I have to struggle with my own discomfort to be able to love those around me. Yeah, it’s a good drill, i think :D

I read books. I reab bible. It was hard at first, but I’m getting used to it now. I write journals everyday. I jog every monday, I take naps at day time, sleep early, wake up early too.

so many, many new things happened these 4 months.

i ended my old love, finding that it wasn’t a love but rather an obession, I found that i might have a saviour’s syndrome and these 6 years of hurt and confussion comes from this sickness of mine, and I decided to end everything and walk forward, moving on.

I found new love. a very new, freshly sprouted love. a new kind of love that made me feel precious, appreciated and healthy. I learn that all this time I have not properly loved before. I gave too much but never receive equally. From him, I gain love when i give love. It supposedly, should’ve been, something natural, but for me it’s new and surprising. so this was how it felt to be loved. you feel quenched.

I was grateful of this, but i know behind this lies a big responsibilites. I was thinking of marriage now, and about going to China with him. This was a new thing to discern. let’s see what will happen next year.

this is a grateful update. I hope I can write more next time.

see you!

Conduct yourselves with all humility, gentleness, and patience. Accept each other with love,

Ephesians 4:2 CEB
