Andalkan Tuhan.

kadang hidup itu berjalan gak seperti yg kita inginkan atau kita mau. Yang terjadi malah yg gak kita inginkan bener gak? hemm apakah itu emang takdir? noo! itu semua rencana Tuhan yang mengijinkan ada something different di hidup kita.

Kalau semua berjalan menurut apa yg lo mau, lo gak akan merasakan kasih dan pertolongan Tuhan yg luar biasa. why? karena itu smua bisa terjadi ditengah2 goncangan hidup.
simple aja, misalnya pas lo dapet nilai ulangan jelek berulang kali. Sering kali lo bilang "yah Tuhan kenapa gue harus remed terus? padahal kan udh belajar :(" dan yg terjadi lo marah sama Tuhan. HEYY! you know what Tuhan itu lagi mendidik kamu! dari contoh itu, mungkin Tuhan mau lo itu lebih serius lagi dalam belajar dannn, always mengandalkan Tuhan. oiaa dan mengajarkan lo buat bisa mengendalikan diri dan gak terbawa emosi.

Anak muda jaman sekarang menganggap semuanya bisa diatasi dengan kekuatan sendiri.But kita ini cuma manusia dan manusia itu punya kelemahan. gak semua masalah bisa lo atasi tanpa bantuan Tuhan. kalo lo bersikeras andelin kekuatan sendiri, lo itu bakalan jatuhhh tuhh tuhh *eaa lebay.. tapi kalo lo andelin Tuhan yang kekuatanya super super super besaarrrr, lo gak bakalan rapuh with His mighty and loving hands, He will help you to pass the problem.

(Yeremia 17 :7) Diberkatilah orang yang mengandalkan TUHAN, yang menaruh harapannya pada TUHAN!

(Amsal 3:5) Percayalah kepada TUHAN dengan segenap hatimu, dan janganlah bersandar kepada pengertianmu sendiri.

Between Pencil and Eraser

PENCIL : You know , I'm really sorry .

ERASER : For what ? You didn't do anything wrong .

PENCIL : I'm sorry , 'cause you get hurt because of me . Whenever I make a mistake , you're always there to erase it . But as you make my mistakes vanish , you lose a part of yourself . You get smaller and smaller every time .

ERASER : That's true , but I don't really mind . You see , I was made to do this . I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong . Even though , one of these days , I know I'll be gone and you have to replace me with a new one . I'm actually happy with my job . So please stop worrying . I hate seeing you sad :)

Based on that story, we learn that Christ is doing same with eraser.. whenever we make mistake, He always forgive you and forget the mistake even though his heart hurt because your mistake. 

as you know when you make mistakes, like lying to your parents, Christ is sad. His heart is broke into a pieces. can you imagine that?

But because His love for you higher than your mistake, 

He prefers to forgive than to lose you.

He doesn't want you to fall into sin, so He forgives you :) 


Psalm 103 :10-12


10. He has not dealt with us after our sins nor rewarded us according to our mistakes.


11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great are His mercy and loving-kindness toward those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him.


12.As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.


If we admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]. (1 John1:9)

Mazmur 103:10-12


10. Tidak dilakukan-Nya kepada kita setimpal dengan dosa kita, dan tidak dibalas-Nya kepada kita setimpal dengan kesalahan kita,


11. tetapi setinggi langit di atas bumi, demikian besarnya kasih setia-Nya atas orang-orang yang takut akan Dia;


12. sejauh timur dari barat, demikian dijauhkan-Nya dari pada kita pelanggaran kita.


Jika kita mengaku dosa kita, maka Dia adalah setia dan adil, sehingga Dia akan mengampunkan segala dosa kita dan menyucikan kita dari segala kejahatan" (1 Yohanes 1:9).
