The Lord is with me like a Mighty Warrior.

Jeremiah 20:11 (via randytemple)

[edzed]

God takes the worst of us, the most shattered and damaged and rebellious and prideful, and reverses our entropy into pulsing life. He sees a desert and says, “I see a garden.” God can take a miserable sinner like me and you and breathe something brand new into these jagged veins. This is the work of Christ, shaping us, connecting us, healing us.

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come; 'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me. His word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess within the veil, A life of joy and peace. When we've been here ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we've first begun. Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.

truth

Aku di bangunkan oleh sebuah kebenaran yang terhimpit ketidak fokusan akal. Roh ku di bangkitkan hanya oleh bisikan lembut dari yang Kudus di atas , bahwa:"Roh Allah ada padaku.. Aku bisa lakukan. Aku bisa, lewat Dia. Dengarlah hai jiwaku..Roh Tuhan ada padamu".

from the ash I am born again, forever safe in the Savior's hands..

Ijinkan tulisan ini juga merupakan doa dari sekian banyak manusia yang telah mendukung satu figur pemimpin itu.

Lagi..

Ku temukan kisah ketimpangan nurani. Ku rasa, yang memutuskan sudah di himpit banyak sekali takut, tak tahu takut apa.. mungkin takut di teror, takut di pecat ? takut keluarga di ganggu, takut di sumpahi, takut tak di anggap bijak dan adil ?. Tapi bukankah putusan itu telah menentang nuraninya sebagai seorang pengambil keputusan ?

Aku tak menuduh atau mengungkit kesalahan, aku hanya ingin memandang Negara ku sebagai tempat ternyaman di mana aku bisa tinggal tetap. aku tak mungkin hidup dalam bangsa  yang “tegar tengkuk”, aku tak bisa hidup dalam ketidak adilan, dan ketidakpastian pembelaan. Sudah banyak orang yang susah hatinya, jangan tambahi lagi dengan berita-berita bau yang menyengat hidung, itu hanya akan semakin menyumbat paru-paru orang kecil yang rindu untuk dilindungi.

Bangsa ku, dimana nurani ?

Bangsa ku, jangan terus hidup dalam gelap. Buta kita. Sulit berjalan.

Nurani itu murni, tulus, dan kenal keadilan, masakan terus saja kau tentang dan bohongi ?

Jika bangsa saja tak dapat ku percaya, bagaimana mungkin aku menjadi pembela ?

Aku ini hanya segelintir orang yang menaruh hati untuk Negara. Masakan tak ku cium harum kedamaian dan keadilan di tengah-tengah nya? Lantas, siapa yang dapat di percaya sekarang ?

Kemana aku pergi, jika bangsa ku pun tak kenal apa itu kesatuan dan kedamaian ?

Di level ini, seperti nya telah kecewa.

..namun tak bermaksud untuk pergi, hanya perlu waktu untuk belajar dan memberi hati. Tuhan saja lah yang memampukan, untuk tiba di level pengampunan.

Dukungan dan doa adalah hal terbaik yang dapat ku beri. Karena sejauh ini, aku memandang keadilan telah tumpul karena banyaknya orang yang mendustai nurani. Jangan berlama-lama berjalan timpang kalau Tuhan masih sediakan jalan yang lurus, mulailah berbalik. Hati ini mengasihi, mengasihi Pemimpin itu, tak ada waktu nya untuk mengeluh, karena sudah di habiskan dengan bekerja dan membangun, masakan tak di lihat oleh mereka ? tak adakah kesempatan untuk mengampuni kesalahan ? aku malu pada Penciptaku, aku saja telah di ampuni, masakan sulit untuk memberi kasih pada orang yang telah meminta pengampunan ? Ampun lah Tuhan, ternyata kami memang bebal, hanya keadilanMu saja  yang dapat membebaskan kami L

“Itulah sebabnya hukum kehilangan kekuatannya dan tidak pernah muncul keadilan, sebab orang fasik mengepung orang benar ; itulah sebabnya keadilan muncul terbalik”. (Habakuk 1:4)

Becoming a Modern Day Ruth

A modern day Ruth refuses to conform to the patterns of this world. She refuses to let the world tell her that she’s something she’s not. She finds her identity in Christ.

           She isn’t like other woman of the world; she has been set apart to be different . She has been called out, chosen. She refuses to be a people pleaser; she is God pleaser. She allows God to work through her and chooses to love and serve while she waits.

           She is also consumed in her love for God and the work she has been called to do that the wait doesn’t feel like waiting. She isn’t caught up in the process, but rather she is patiently trusting God, the ruler of her heart, with her future.

           She knows her season of singleness is for a reason and only a season. She doesn’t know what the future holds, but she trusts the one who holds it. And when God brings her Boaz into her life, she follows the Lord’s lead. She knows when to wait, and she knows when to move because she is in tune with the Holy Spirit’s voice.

           How does she discern what move to take ? every decision she makes is guided by prayer. Every move she makes is made in love and faithfulness.

           Her inner voice has become that of her Father’s. She trusts Him with her entire life, no matter what the future may bring. Today, you can make the decision to hand over the pen of your life and let God be the author of YOUR LOVE STORY.

           We serve a God of new beginnings and second chances. His mercies are new every single morning. Your best days are yet to come. He has wonderful things in store for you and that doesn’t just concern marriage. Fall in love with God. He is passionately, remarkably, crazy in love with you.

           He wants first place in our heart. Psalm 37:4 tells us, “Delight yourself in the Lord ad He will give you the desires of your heart. God has not called you to live a mediocre life. He doesn’t want to give you an “okay” job, or an “okay” marriage.

           He wants to give you the best of everything for the simple fact that He is your Father. He is going to cause your cup to overflow with blessings.

           He wants to give you His perfect peace, you just have to keep your eyes fixed on Him. He is working everything out for your good. Hold onto your Father.

           You are his precious daughter and He delights in you. God is callig you into a passionate romance with Himself. He wants to give you a love story that will put all of the other fairy tales you’ve read to shame.

           God has embedded those desires in your heart for a reason, and when the timing is right, He will bring those desires to fruition . You can trust that your heart is safe when you place it in the hands of God.

           He will always take care of you. As of right now, take pride in he fact that God has called you to be a modern day Ruth, to love and to serve until your Boaz comes into your life. Then when your Boaz comes, you will continue to love and serve God together.

Jadi,

Masa lalu bukan lagi masalah sekarang, tampaknya hati masih mengingat trauma kisah dulu yang tak bisa di bilang Indah.. banyak orang lama mulai muncul ke permukaan, lama tak ku dengar kabar, ntah sudah bagaimana keadaan rumah tua yang kini telah ditinggalkan..

Melihat poto seseorang yang pernah menjadi teman kecil, ah lama juga waktu yang sempat ku habiskan dengan anak itu.. sempat kami begitu dekat sebagai seorang tetangga.. jadi, hanya ku lihat saja poto nya, sedikit saja ku lihat rupa nya sekarang, dan aku tidak perduli hehe.. aku tak berniat mengetik pesan dan menanyakan kabar lebih dalam, rasanya tidak perlu.. mereka dulu sempat mengenal keluarga sederhanaku, mereka tahu banyak kisah perjuangan kami, karena mereka adalah tetangga sebelah rumah yang siap mendengar suara apapun yang keluar dari bilik rumah.. tapi itu dulu.. itu dulu.. aku tak bermaksud untuk menghindar, aku hanya tak berniat lagi, sudah cukup... telah di maafkan, bahkan dilupakan.. semua kisah lama tentang mereka, bukannya aku tidak perduli, namun hati memang telah enggan untuk tahu lagi..

Tentu saja masih ku ingat raut-raut wajah orang dulu,

Bukan cuma wajahnya, kelakuan nya pun masih tergambar jelas dalam memoriku betapa buruknya kehidupan dulu.. berhenti sampai disitu, tak perlu tanyakan apa-apa lagi tentangku, atau rumahku.. karena aku mau belajar melupakan.. ku rasa, aku tidak menaruh dendam pada siapapun.. cukup bukan ?

Hanya berdoa yang terbaik, percaya bahwa Tuhan punya rencana bagi setiap kita..

Sudah ya, aku tutup kisah ini. aku mengaku memang pernah mengenal kalian. Tapi, kalian tidak termasuk hitungan. Aku hanya sedang belajar mengasihi seperti cara Tuhan-ku telah mengasihi aku, dan aku butuh waktu.

Companionship is a beautiful thing, and to desire a loving healthy marriage is not wrong at all, but before and after any relationship begins, we must remember that as well as we think we know that person, and as well we think they know us, only the Lord knows the depths of our hearts. Only our relationship with Jesus provides us with an Eternal love more sustaining than any other love. This is not to say you should not desire romantic love. The Old Testament book Song of Solomon is a perfect example of how romantic love is not a taboo subject to God, and there are many other instances in Scripture where marriage and love are both exemplified and written about specifically. However, within the canon of Scripture, we also find this important truth: He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. - Colossians 1:17 ⠀ There is nothing that holds us together like Jesus. There is nothing and no one that can wrap us in perfect, everlasting love unless it comes from our relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Hold onto this as you pursue a romantic love relationship or you seek to grow closer to God in the one you’re already in. No matter where the two of you are on this journey, it will always be Jesus that holds you together. ⠀ Written by @morganhnichols for #TheDevoCo
