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.
