"In this life we cannot always do great things. But we can do small things with great love." (Mother Theresa)
***
When someone asks you "what do you want to do in your life?" mostly we will answer if we want to do many great things. It is not wrong but it can make us forget the most important thing. It is not great things or small things we do in this life, but how do we do everything.
Many persons I know well which never want to do small things. Many persons I know well which always want to do only great things. Many of them who love to do great things but without the same great love. But I also know many persons well who always want to do even the small things with great love, never self-prestige and self-profit (and I thank God for knowing them as well).
It is good when we plan to do great things. Help the earth to be more better than this moment, help to decrease corruption in this country, help to make poor ones healthy and have the better life, etc. Those great things never be wrong. But don't forget, before we do great things, start to do from small things first.
When we want to help this earth to be more better that current situation and decrease the global warming, start from the small things. Stop using plastic or decrease the intention of using. Using renewable energies more than nonrenewable energies. using the friendly technologies for environment more than unfriendly technologies. Start to do efficient use of electricity and clean water. Plant trees. Many small things we can do with great love.
When we want to help in decreasing corruption in this country start from ourselves. Do not cheat on the exam or provide a cheat sheets. Do not commit fraud no matter how small it is but trying to always do right. Obey the rules never break it. No compromise for the wrong things. Then we will see there will be no corruption anymore!
When we want to help the poor ones so they can be more healthy and have a better life, start to do it with small things. Do not be goaded by giving donations to beggars on the roadside, but be wise in giving donations. If they are hungry, feed them with healthy foods. If they have many children who are not attending school, help their children by bring their children to the school and donate for their children's study costs. Slowly but sure we make this world better and decrease the poor living.
So, as what Mother Theresa ever did in her life time, we can do many small things with great love. Start from the small things in great love as the love of God. Star from ourselves. In the next days we will see the better living, the better earth, the better world!
With love,
jean.

YOU ARE SO STRONG, JUST BELIEVE AND BE STRONG!
"God knows how much we can handle. So, if you think you're weak, you're not. 'Cause problems are for the strong. Giving up is for the weak." (via The Girl Dictionary)
****
Sometimes, when we are having a big problem in our life or some small problems inside, we always think for the first that "why should I get this problem? Why not Mr./Mrs. A or Mr./Mrs. B? Why should I?". Then mostly, we will feel if the problem is bigger and bigger 'till we feel so weak to face and fix it. Some of those ones who feel like that already give up, while the rest still have to deal with the problem or almost give up too.
It is not about why we get the problems and not another ones. It is about how we do respond when we are getting a problem, no matter it is big or small. Be strong and never think if "I am weak". When we already think "I am weak" we already gave up. This makes us lose our enthusiasm, die out the fire of the soul, then we are just down and down. We will be so hard for rising up (trust me, I'm trying to rising up right now, and it's not that easy).
If we are still thinking why we get the problems, the only correct answer is because we can handle them well. That is why God lets those problems come into our life. He knew already if we can handle it well. We just give up first to the negative sounds which say if we are weak, we are bad, we are ugly, we are stupid, how pity we are, etc. So, be positive! Remember if words and sounds that we listen can affect us: negative will bring to the negative, so choose to listen only the positive!
Keep positive thinking when we are in problems. Don't look for who made the problem but look what the problem is. Seek until the root and the bottom of the problem. Then believe if we are strong and we can face them all one by one well. The problem is nothing, you can handle it well because God is with you. God is there, He is nowhere but beside you.
Think positive starts with make ourselves calm by come to the peace and joy inside our body in our spirituality or pray to the God and breath slowly as well. Everyone has their own way in making themselves feel peace but it is always in positive way based in spirituality side and always toward to God; or it is always right, good, and positive. Then forgive ourselves first and try to forgive others, specially those who hurt us. After that, we should give thanks to God because He lets us to have the great life-learning.
Instill in ourselves if problems come in purpose to make us stronger and better than before. Do not give up because we are strong. Just believe and be strong. Tell to all problems if we have the biggest One that is The God Almighty. So problems are nothing! We can face them in faith well. Just be strong and choose not to give up. Remember if in every problem there is a good purpose for us.
"There is no such thing as a problem without a Divine gift hidden within it. You have these problems because you need the gifts they carry within. (via God wants you to know)"
With Love,
Jean.

|| Belajar Dari Teladan Yefta ||
Dalam kitab Hakim-hakim 11 sampai pasal 12:1-7 mengisahkan tentang Yefta. Ia adl salah satu hakim yg memerintah atas org Israel. Ia memerintah slm 6thn lamanya.
Pd masa itu org Israel melakukan yg jahat di mata Tuhan dgn berpaling pd para allah lain & meninggalkan Allah. Org Israel kmudian dikuasai org Filistin & bani Amon 18 thn lamanya. Dlm penindasan itu org Israel akhirnya kembali pd Allah dan menjauhkan para allah asing & Allah kembali menolong mereka (Hak.10:6-18).
Dlm masa pemulihan ini lahir seorg pahlawan yg gagah perkasa bg org Israel. Ia bernama Yefta, org Gilead. Tp dlm hidupnya Yefta melewati proses yg mungkin tdk nyaman.
Ayahnya bernama Gilead & ibunya adl seorg perempuan sundal. Pd saat itu juga ayahnya punya anak-anak lelaki dr istri sahnya. Saudara-saudara tiri Yefta ini tdk menyukainya & kemudian mengusirnya keluar dr tanah kelahirannya, rumahnya sendiri. Yefta dianggap aib, anak haram dr perempuan sundal, & tidak pantas mjd saudara mereka.
Yefta pun lari & diam di tanah Tob. Di sana ia berkumpul bsm para petualang. Kemudian bani Amon berperang dgn org Israel. Maka para tetua Gilead menjemputnya dari tanah Tob utk menjadikan dia panglima perang & pemimpin mereka.
Singkat cerita, Yefta mjd pahlawan besar yg dipakai Tuhan utk memimpin org Israel, bhkan saudara-saudaranya yg jahat td. Namun yg patut diteladani, Yefta tdk dendam. Ia tdk membunuh atau membalas perlakuan mereka. Ia tetap memperlakukan saudara-saudaranya dgn layak, benar & baik, & menyerahkan semua perkara kpd Tuhan.
Seperti Yefta, kita tdk pernah bisa memilih siapa yg akan jd org tua kita. Tuhan memang menempatkannya mjd anak Gilead dr hasil hubungan dgn perempuan sundal. Memang ayah & ibunya berbuat dosa. Tp Yefta tetap ciptaan & karunia Tuhan. Ia tetap berharga bg Tuhan, sama berharganya spt kita.
Org tua kita bisa saja salah & punya masa lalu tdk baik. Keluarga kita bisa sj terkenal jahat, broken home, buruk, dll. Org-org lain boleh sj menilai kita jelek krn latar belakang keluarga. Tp Tuhan tdk memandang itu.
Manusia bisa saja menilai manusia lainnya jelek hanya karena latar belakang keluarga. Tp saat kita hidup di dalam kebenaran Tuhan maka hanya Tuhan yg berhak menilai kita. Tuhan bhkan memakai org-org yg direndahkan & dijelekkan jauh lebih hebat dari mereka yg merasa dirinya lebih benar, lebih baik, atau lebih kudus.
Mari meneladani Yefta yg tdk putus asa & rendah diri. Walau ia ditolak, dihina, dimusuhi, dibenci, & diusir saudara-saudaranya sendiri. Ia tetap hidup dlm semangat & rendah hati. Bhkan ia tdk membalas sedikitpun pd saudara-saudaranya.
Jd jgn merasa buruk & tidak berguna. Kita masing-masing diciptakan baik utk tujuan Tuhan. Tuhan yg menentukan siapa kita krn Ia yg menciptakan kita.
Tuhan yg akan memilih siapa yg akan dipakaiNya. Seperti Ia memilih Yefta & berbicara melalui Yefta, memakai Yefta luar biasa utk karyaNya bagi org Israel, menjadikan Yefta pahlawan gagah berani & pemimpin Israel, Dia jg mau memakai kita. Ya, Tuhan mau memakai Anda & saya.
Tuhan menciptakan Anda & saya utk tujuan baik, utk menjadi rekan kerja Allah di bumi. Ia mau kita menjadi penyalur kasihNya bagi dunia. Apakah kita mau dipakaiNya utk menyatakan kemuliaan & mengerjakan kehendakNya?
Yg terutama, selalu berserah pd kehendak & pimpinanNya dgn kerendahan hati, seperti teladan Yefta. Buang jauh-jauh pikiran & perasaan kalau kita buruk, jelek, tdk berharga, tdk berguna, dan hal-hal negatif lainnya. Ingatlah bhwa kita berharga bg Tuhan & Ia amat mengasihi kita.
Ia selalu ingin membantu kita asal kita bertobat & hidup dlm kebenaranNya. "Dan mereka (org Israel) menjauhkan para allah asing dari tengah-tengah mereka, lalu mereka beribadah kpd TUHAN. Maka TUHAN tdk dpt lagi menahan hatiNya melihat kesukaran mereka." (Hak.10:16). Krn Tuhan begitu mengasihi kita, Ia tdk akan tahan melihat kesukaran & penderitaan kita. Jd, serahkan semua dlm tangan pengasihan Tuhan & biarkan Ia berkarya melalui kita.
Selamat bertumbuh di dalam Kristus!

Love Me First
One day, I asked God,
"God, do I be loved by my parents, my brothers and sisters, and the whole family?"
God answered me,
"Sure they do. They love you so much."
Then I said,
"But I can't feel it God. My family seems don't love me well. They may love me but it feels just a second with a little piece."
God just smiled to me and then I asked Him,
"How about my good and close friends, do they love me? and my lover?"
God answered me again,
"Sure they do. They love you so much."
I said to God,
"Sometimes I feel that they are not sincere in our relationship. They just use me when they need some help, and come to me whenever they need. But when I need them to be by my side, cry with me, share the happiness and all stories, they are nowhere."
God told to me gently,
"You don't understand yet, what love is, my child."
I asked God,
"So, what is love, God?"
God answered me,
"Love Me first, then you'll learn what love is and how to love and be loved. Because I am the pure and the true love. I love you without any condition. Even though you are not love me all the time, I still love you every time. Even though you can forget me many times, I still love you and never forget you. Even though I'm not the first priority in your life, I still love you and you are always be my first priority. So, love me first, then you'll know about the true and the pure love!"
And then, I realized that I don't understand yet about what love is. I realized that love I knew wasn't the pure and the true love. So I learned how to love by loving God above all things and men. It's not easy but posibble. I'm still learning but now I already found what love is.

Sorgaku, SorgaMU
Orang bilang sorga di bawah kaki ibu. Bagiku tidak, kar'na di bawah kaki ibu hanya kunci menuju gerbang sorga, dan gerbang sorga ada di kaki ayah.
Tanpa ayah dan ibu, tanpa keduanya, mustahil aku tahu sorga dan ditunjukkan kepada jalanNya. Tanpa keduanya, aku mungkin hilang arah dan tak tahu tujuan hidup.
Mereka membimbingku hingga aku mampu memilih jalan menuju sorga, atau menolaknya. Karena itu Sang Empunya sorga senantiasa mengingatkanku untuk menghormati ayah & ibu, mendengarkan ajaran mereka, dan menaatinya.
Bagiku sorga ada dalam kasih Tuhan yg mengalir melalui kasih kedua orang tuaku yg setia mendoakan kebaikanku dan memberi yg terbaik bagiku.

HALELUYA, PUJILAH YAHWE
Aku berseru, Gavriel.., Tuhan adalah kekuatanku!
Dan Tuhan memberikanku Gevariel, kekuatanNya ;
untuk dapat menjadi seorang Gavriella, abdiNya.
Aku bersaksi, Gedalyahu,
Perbuatan Tuhan hebat!
Ia adalah Goel, Sang Penebus; Gamaliel, Allah yg membebaskan; yg memberikanku Hosea, keselamatan! Maka aku bersaksi, Isaiah, Tuhan adalah Juru Selamatku!
Aku berseru Hanniel, Tuhan yg maha pengasih. Ia penuh kasih dan sayang kepada seluruh umatNya, dan senantiasa memberi berkat yg tak ada habisnya.
Maka aku bernyanyi dan bersorak, Haleluya! Pujilah Yahwe!
Bagi Dia seluruh Oma dan Titus, hormat dan kehormatan. Bagi Dia juga Nita, kemuliaan. Selama-lamanya!
