Learn to Trusting God

Today message:

Di dalam keadaan yg susah Tuhan yg menyediakan segala yg dibutuhkan; meskipun keadaan lingkungan sangat tidak mungkin atau tidak mendukung!
Org yg berserah dan bersandar kpd Tuhan, diberikan kepadanya janjiNya: "I will not leave My people." (Isaiah 42:16c - ExtremeTeen bible version)

In a really bad circumstance God who will provide everything that we need, eventhough it seems impossible and nobody comes to support us!
People who surrender and rely on God's strength, God gives a promise to those, God said: "I will not leave My people." (Isaiah 42:16c - ExtremeTeen bible version)

What do you think about GOD to you?

Hehe I come back here again to post something good and I believe this one is not something that meaningless. I am glad that I can share this to you guys. Maybe I can call this message that I got today as a revelation, because it's so true and can breakthrough all wrong ideas about Father in Heaven or God.

Now be ready...

It's really, really true that God is not demanding you to do something you cannot do.
It's really true that God is not chasing you to do this or that that you don't want to do.
God accept every people as what they are.
God accept every person as what he or she is.

If you know already about God and has a relationship with God, and you know in what level of faith you are now that is also how God sees you. God knows and understands the inner and outer you, and all abouts you.
God knows what is in your heart.
God even knows you better than your closest buddies, partner, co-workers, families member, and everybody in the world.

Don't ever feel afraid to admit your weaknesses in front of God.
God cares too about our weaknesses.
God knows, God is the only One who can understand all abouts us that caused by God is the Creator of all of us, people in the world.

God accept you as who you are.

Be aware of our minds, we sometimes forget that God loves every of HIS creations.
We sometimes think that God always take everything we have in our lives.
We sometimes hate God because we think that God takes away what is we think its good for our selves.
We sometimes think that God hate us because of what has happened in the world today.
Don't let our minds to be controlled in any negative ways and so we have wrong perception about God to us.

God accept every person as what he or she is.
God is not demanding you to do something you cannot do.
God really, really loves us.

A beautiful prayer of David (Psalm 16)

This is what I got today on the night. A very beautiful prayer that has been spoken out by David in his trouble times. A very beautiful message that my heart can grasp it. I will type it down here so you can also say the prayer if you love to.  :)

"THE LORD TAKES CARE OF HIS PEOPLE"

Protect me, God,
  because I trust in you.
I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord.
  Every good thing I have comes from You."
As for the godly people in the world,
  they are the wonderful ones I enjoy.
...
I will not offer blood to those idols
  or even speak their names.
No, the LORD is all I need.
  He takes care of me.
My share in life has been pleasant,
  my part has been beautiful.

I praise the LORD because He advises me.
  Even at night, I feel His leading.
I keep the LORD before me always.
  Because He is close by my side.
  I will not be hurt.
So I rejoice and am glad.
  Even my body has hope,
because You will not leave me in the grave.
  You will not let Your holy one rot.
You will teach me how to live a holy life.
  Being with You will fill me with joy;
  at Your right hand I will find pleasure forever.

GOD still cares eventhough we know we wrong

I have been struggling through all these weeks. Many things happen during the times and there were days I kept fall and fall again. I tried to rise up and still didn't able to move on. I knew I shouldn't lose my faith, but what could I do, my power bit by bit has gone. There were times I had been asking God if God still loves me or God already close HIS door of love and chose to give no more mercy for me. Week by week, I lose my strength.  I could really feel it as real as my senses work. Ups and downs had been my food all the time. I even ever wanted to stop living as a Christian. I see to live as a Christian is really tought, hard, difficult. Bible, which is about the word of God-the Truth, is non-sense. The only thing I could think was I am a sinner that can never be forgiven anymore. That caused by I do what is wrong all the time. I've been hiding for a long time in a shield of "nobody is perfect" thing.
Well that's true that no body is perfect in this world. But, the word of God has stated a clear and an unarguable statement that tells about humans can do , even, what is impossible to do to be possible to do. That is by living in Christ.
As it is written in the Bible,

Paul says, " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Phillipians 4:13)

As today, I am so glad that I can rejoice once again. In a few minutes before I got myself in a bus, in one cold night after finish my work around 7pm. I stood there on the pedestrian way. Well, in the morning I have my heart caught up by an option. After all the troubles, the struggles that are still on the way, they haven't done yet, there is a new thing again come into my mind. It's really hard to let it go. There, that's somewhat a person talks to me. "Ella, you know what you are experiencing right now is a chance to prove that God still can do a miracle in your life. It is your choice, whether to hate that person or to show love as how God has taught you to love your neighbours." There, once again I was being remembered that God really able to do something that's impossible for me to be possible in the past few years.
I am silenced for awhile. I am amazed that God still show HIS love to me by caring me, who is a sinner.  Then,  I am started to recall the old days that I've ever gone through. I have had few experiences how I ever walked with God. God was helping me, guiding me, and being my Best Friend when in the troubles.  HE for sure was my Savior that I could counted on.

The moment I think about those times all over again strengthens my faith and helps me to count on God once more again from today.  Then, when I just simply chose to show love God already gives me joy and hope in my heart. I haven't even done anything yet, it feels like God only wants to see my heart. It feels like HE really values the simplicity of my little action that is to chose to obey God's word. I am so amazed.

Now back to a time where I am waiting for the bus coming. I put out my iPod and decided to listen to the songs that, I believe, can bless my spirit. Songs of praises and worship to the God of Gods, which name is Jesus. I looked up to the sky above its dark already, but I could still see the clouds. The sky huge and wide and as I heard the song sings the greatness of the Lord, I am stunned. God has changed my heart. HE teach me to surrender in all I do. In every step I take, I must surrender to HIM.

Zechariah 4:6 says, "Not by might nor by power but my Spirit," says the LORD Almighty.

My God is a So Wonderful GOD.

I am not afraid to speak the truth that GOD delivers through me.

sometimes we lose our appetite for the word of God (the Way, the Truth, and the Life), because we received what we didn't hope/pray for.

Psalms 34:8 says, "All taste and see for the LORD is good" (no matter what will change in life).

we wanna see and then taste, but the bible doesn't say see  and then taste, but taste and see for the LORD is good!

Speak by faith, not by what I see in front of my eyes about my circumstances.

my soul shall magnify the LORD, means "My soul makes God magnify, huge over my life."

david says, "My soul bless the LORD all the days in my life." He speaks what he is going to do. He doesn't let the circumstance around him take control of him, but he chose to bless the Lord whether his world collapse.

when we look around and see other people, we would get dissapoint by seeing the unfairness of this world.
don't look around (to the other people), but look up to GOD.

Dim Out

 

The veil of a blindfold covers the eyes.
Transforming me into a different person.

The simplicity was my pride
before a different world welcomed me to start a different journey.

After gone to take a walk on the deep foggy valley.
Now, I am measuring with a different weight.
It's been awhile since I have been picking up a different garment to wrap this body.

Gone to stay in a long vague time-frame.
Perhaps, 'till the sun goes down and set apart my liberty.

It's not nice to been up to wandering all these times.
Hoping to cling on an "anchor" one day.

WELCOME IN 2008!! part.2

mari kita menghadapkan diri kita kepada apa yg ada dihadapan kita dan melupakan apa yg di belakang.

dan, kembali  mengejar harta yg paling berharga yaitu panggilan Tuhan Yesus Kristus.

** for there is nothing more valuable than that. kenikmatan yg dunia ajarkan tidak sebanding dengan kehadiran-Nya dalam hidup ini.

aku tau, aku gak sanggup untuk menjadi sempurna. tapi dengan tangan-Nya sendiri yg menuntun aku, aku sanggup untuk menjadi yg lebih baik lagi dari aku sekarang.

WELCOME IN 2008!!

!!Welcome in year 2008..!!

gw pengen bilang itu smua ke org2.. gw pengen teriakin d jalan2.. haha.. kemaren.. malem2 jam 9.. gk tau knapa rasanya exciting bgt mau masuk taun 2008 ini. banyak hal yg terjadi, banyak hal yg jg gak gw mengerti, gak sedikit jg kegagalan gw di tahun 2007. BUT, I have to rise up.

I've got to remember I have new goals in 2008.

"Yang lama udah berlalu dan yang baru udah datang."

gw mau inget lagi pesan waktu ulangtahun taun 2007 kemaren dari seorg teman yg baik buat gw, pesannya dari Hebrews 12:1-2.

I need to:

+ Getting back from devil for what has been stolen from me, such like my first love to Jesus.
+ Spending much more times in a secret place, to build up a strong spirit.
+ Keep my heart, get focus, and start the 'engine' to run.

I wanna thank to GOD JESUS for guiding me onto this year 2008 also for not yet giving up on me.

Though life is getting harder and tougher...

REMEMBER JESUS.

Reality is hard, but all I wanna remember is God is my Shepherd

pressure ada disekeliling kita ada reasonsnya.
"everything happens for a reason."
problems diijinkan untuk ada dan masuk dlm kehidupan ini..
BUT
GOD IS  STILL IN CONTROL
(actually God always in control of ev'rything)
kadang kita gak ngerti kenapa spertinya tiba2 kita terjebak dlm situasi yg menyulitkan kita. tp coba kita ambil waktu sejenak untuk silent.. dan pikirkan bhw ada TUHAN. Itu akan menyelesaikan dan memberikan jawaban kepada setiap persoalan yg kita lg hadapi. memang bukan physically masalahnya tiba2 terselesaikan dgn sempurna. tp ada "sesuatu" (hehe.. you'll know what i mean when you are facing problem(s) right now and are doing the same thing as I do.. no matter what it is), ada "sesuatu" yg mengalir didlm hati kita even stronger than our logic (lbh dr pikiran kita sendiri).

terus terang kmarin malem gw stress berat.. well beberapa waktu ini gw mengalami stress & ada pressure yg cukup berat sih.. tp gak gw crita ke org2.. cukup sm org yg ada sama gw dlm suka & duka hehe.. gw wkt under pressure lupa & terlalu tenggelam sama situasi & pikiran gw sendiri.. mencari solusi & sumber masalahnya.. tp gak ketemu n malah cari tempat lain to runaway.. dan wkt mau tidur sekitar jam 3-an.. at the very last minuete.. gw teringat sm Tuhan. Tuhan ada.  knapa gw mesti lari ke tempat lain, knapa gw mesti stress. bebrp wkt kmd gw tertidur pules.. sampai ada sms dr hunny bangunin gw hehe.. then I decided to get up n pray also read the bible. trus, gw baca2 sambil dngrin lagu, n lagunya ingetin gw satu pasal.. psalm 23. n gw baca itu psalm 23 says God is my shepherd.

God is my shepherd;
I have everthing I need.
He lets me rest in green pastures.
He leads me to calm water.
He gives me new strength.
He leads me on paths that are right for the good of His name.
Even if I walk through a very dark valley,
I will not be afraid,
because You are with me.

~ psalm 23:1-4

sebuah pesan yg dulu n dah pernah even sering dibaca tp hari ini pas bgt buat gw hehe.. (mgkn ini yg dibilang the word of God is alive, firman Tuhan tuh hidup). pas bgt isi psalm 23 ini yg lg gw baca sama kata2 di lagu yg sdg gw dnger liriknya "pegang tanganKu, Ku slalu ada untukmu." aniway, ev'rything is happenned for a reason, right? hehe...

waktu udah inget ada Tuhan. God is able to solve every single thing of the problems we made. 

gw bs relaks now.. eventhough situasi mungkin msh sama dgn yg awal.. tapi gw dah tau.. the reasons why all of these happened and are still happening...

gw hanya bisa bersyukur, Tuhan menemukan gw, God found me. di dalam kehidupan yg tough ini.. yg gw tau "I need God who is here. I need God who is now & tomorrow & the future." (God is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the beginning and the last).

note: pray to God and tells everything inside our heart, tell God everything we feel and what we need.

Journey 01

Lord, you have made my heart hard like a stone.
"Lord, is it true that You harden the heart of the king of Egypt was to teaching Your people and to save others from the death?"
