Forgive

When deep injury is done to us, we never recover until we forgive. Forgiveness does not change the past. But it does enlarge the future

look forward

I am doing better than good because I can look back in forgiveness, forward in hope, down in compassion, and up with gratitude. ~ Zig Ziglar

A Blind Boy ...

‎​‎​‎​A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet.  He held up a sign which said: "I am blind,please help."  There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the  sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up.  A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were.     The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my  sign this morning?  What did you write?"The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." I wrote:"Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it."Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective? Moral of the Story:  Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.  Keep the faith and drop the fear. The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling, And even more beautiful, is knowing that you are the reason behind it!!! If you appreciate this message, please share. You may touch someone's heart today and forever....... GBU

SUDAH PUNYA & TAK LAGI INDAH

Yang punya i-phone merasa blackberry lebih effisien. Yang punya blackberry merasa i-phone lebih canggih dan keren.

Punya Accord merasa Camry lebih sportif. Punya Camry merasa Accord lebih gagah.

Yang tinggal di gunung merindukan pantai. Yang tinggal di pantai merindukan gunung.

Di musim panas merindukan musim dingin. Di musim dingin merindukan musim panas.

Yang berambut hitam mengagumi yang pirang. Yang berambut pirang mengagumi yang hitam.

Selagi bujangan pingin berumah tangga. Setelah berumah tangga pingin hidup lajang.

Diam di rumah merindukan bepergian. Setelah bepergian merindukan rumah.

Waktu tenang mencari keramaian. Waktu ramai mencari ketenangan.

Punya anak satu mendambakan banyak anak. Punya banyak anak mendambakan satu anak.

Kita tidak pernah bahagia sebab segala sesuatu tampak indah hanya sebelum dimiliki. Namun setelah dimiliki tak indah lagi...

Kapankah kebahagiaan akan berkunjung kalau kita hanya menatap yang jauh dan membuang yang ada di tangan?

Nikmati apa yang ada sbg berkat terindah dari TUHAN & senantiasa bersyukur........
Jangan menjadi manusia yg tidak pernah puas akan sesuatu yg dimilikinya
Tetapi jadilah manusia yg selalu bersyukur akan apa yg dimilikinya.

Sahabat, ada cerita seekor monyet sedang nangkring di pucuk pohon kelapa. Dia nggak sadar lagi diintip sama tiga angin gede, yaitu

- Angin Topan,

- Tornado dan

- Bahorok.

Tiga angin itu rupanya pada ngomongin, siapa yang bisa paling cepet jatuhin si monyet dari pohon kelapa.

Angin Topan bilang, dia cuma perlu waktu 45 detik.

Angin Tornado nggak mau kalah, 30 detik.

Angin Bahorok senyum ngeledek, 15 detik juga jatuh tuh monyet.

Akhirnya satu persatu ketiga angin itu maju. Angin TOPAN duluan, dia tiup sekenceng-kencengnya, Wuuusss… Merasa ada angin gede datang, si monyet langsung megang batang pohon kelapa. Dia pegang sekuat-kuatnya. Beberapa menit lewat, nggak jatuh-jatuh tuh monyet. Angin Topan pun nyerah.

Giliran Angin TORNADO. Wuuusss… Wuuusss…

Dia tiup sekenceng-kencengnya. Ngga jatuh juga tuh monyet. Angin Tornado nyerah.

Terakhir, Angin BAHOROK. Lebih kenceng lagi dia tiup. Wuuuss… Wuuuss… Wuuuss… Si monyet malah makin kenceng pegangannya. Nggak jatuh-jatuh. Ketiga angin gede itu akhirnya ngakuin, si monyet memang jagoan. Tangguh. Daya tahannya luar biasa.

Ngga lama, datang angin Sepoi-Sepoi. Dia bilang mau ikutan jatuhin si monyet. Diketawain sama tiga angin itu. Yang gede aja nggak bisa, apalagi yang kecil.

Nggak banyak omong, Angin SEPOI-SEPOI langsung niup ubun-ubun si monyet. Psssss… Enak banget. Adem… Seger… Riyep-riyep matanya si monyet. Nggak lama ketiduran dia. Lepas pegangannya. Jatuh deh tuh si monyet.

Sahabat, dari Kisah diatas hikmah yang bisa kita ambil adalah:

Boleh jadi ketika kita Diuji dengan KESUSAHAN… Dicoba dengan Penderitaan… Didera Malapetaka... Kita kuat bahkan lebih kuat dari sebelumnya...

Tapi jika kita diuji dengan KENIKMATAN... KESENANGAN... KELIMPAHAN... Biasanya kita mudah terlena dan terlupa, makanya sahabat janganlah sampai kita terlena... Tetap rendah hati dan mawas diri serta byk berbuat kasih terhadap sesama, ingat semua hanya titipan atau amanah Sang Pencipta

Tuhan menyapamu

TUHAN Menyapamu...
setiap pagi...
lewat udara dingin...
lewat embun-embun yang berkilau dan sebentar tiada...
lewat kicau burung bersenandung...
lewat suara jangkrik yang akan selesaikan konserNya...

TUHAN menyapamu...
lewat alarm yang berbunyi...
seolah berkata bangunlah... AKU masih sediakan satu hari lagi untukmu...
berkaryalah bagi-Ku...
lewat jam dinding yang berdetak....
lewat deru mesin dan hiruk pikuk jalanan....
lewat suara klakson orang yang terlambat.... lewat lampu hijau yang berubah terlalu cepat menjadi merah...
IA menyapamu... adakah kau tahu...

TUHAN menyapamu....
lewat orang-orang sekitarmu...
lewat pujian dan teguran...
lewat peringatan, tantangan dan deadline....
IA seolah berkata segala perkara dapat Ku tanggung karena engkau biji mataku...
tiada yang mustahil bagi-Ku...
pakailah Kuat-ku untuk selesaikan masalahmu....
Roh Kudus akan kuatkan engkau selalu....

TUHAN menyapamu....
lewat awan tebal menggulung...
lewat angin kencang dan hujan lebat....
lewat sambaran petir dan kilat yang menggelegar....
lewat hujan badai dan angin puting beliung....
lewat gempa bumi dan tanah longsor.....
TUHAN KUASA Atas Langit dan Bumi....
siapapun tak mampu menahan Kuat TanganNya....
hapus airmatamu...
hapus khawatirmu....
hilangkan takut dan ragumu....
karena TUHAN ALLAH Semesta Alam...
perhatikanmu....
TUHAN ALLAH Semesta Alam....
pedulikanmu....
dan selalu jagamu...
SETIAP w a k t u.....

TUHAN menyapamu....
ijinkan besi ditempa menjadi baja...
relakan intan dibentuk menjadi berlian...
relakan tanah liat dibentuk seturut kehendakNya...
kuatkan hati..
untuk dibentuk TUHAN...
lewat setiap masalah...
lewat setiap pergumulan...
lewat setiap doa yang belum terjawab....
lewat setiap doa yang mungkin tidak terjawab....
TUHAN tahu dan mengerti....

TUHAN menyapamu...
jawablah...
ini aku TUHAN...
aku siap untuk dibentuk...
seturut kehendakMu...
sesuai rencanaMu...

"Ini aku, utuslah aku"

Love by Jaeson Ma

Now Hollywood wants to make you think they know what love is.
But I'm a tell you what true love is.
Love is not what you see in the movies.
Its not the ecstasy, its not what you see in that scene
you know what I mean? I'm telling you right now, true love is sacrifice.
Love is thinking about others before you think about yourself
Love is selfless not selfish. Love is God and God is love.
Love is when you lay down your life for another
Whether for your brother, your mother, your father or your sister
Its even laying down your life for your enemies,
That's unthinkable, but think about that
Love is true
Think.

Chorus
I'll put you in front of me
So everybody can see
My love, this is my love
I know that I'll be alright
As long as you are my guide
My love, this is my love

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast
It is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs
You see love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, it always perseveres
Love never fails. Love is everlasting
Its eternal, it goes on and on, it goes beyond time
Love is the only thing that will last when you die
But ask the question why? Do you have love?

Chorus
I'll put you in front of me
So everybody can see
My love, this is my love
I know that I'll be alright
As long as you are my guide
My love, this is my love

There is no greater love than this than he who lays down his life for his friends
Now are you willing to lay down your life for your friends?
You're probably willing to lay down your life for your mother
your father, or your best friends
But are you willing to lay down your life for even those that hate you?
I'm going to tell you who did that
The definition of love is Jesus Christ. He is love
The nails in his hands, the thorns in his brow
Hanging on a cross for your sin my sins
That is love he died for you and me while we still hated him
That is love
God is true love, and if you don't know this love
Now is the time to know, perfect love

Chorus
I'll put you in front of me
So everybody can see
My love, this is my love
I know that I'll be alright
As long as you are my guide
My love, this is my love
(repeat)

Mighty To Save by HILLSONG

Everyone needs compassion,
Love that's never failing;
Let mercy fall on me.

Everyone needs forgiveness,
The kindness of a Saviour;
The Hope of nations.

Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.

Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

So take me as You find me,
All my fears and failures,
Fill my life again.

I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in,
Now I surrender.

My Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

Shine your light and let the whole world see,
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus (x2)

My Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

My Saviour, you can move the mountains,
You are mighty to save,
You are mighty to save.
Forever, Author of Salvation,
You rose and conquered the grave,
Yes you conquered the grave

I give you my life to keep…

I, (Groom’s/Bride’s name), take you (Bride’s/Groom’s name), to be my wife/husband, my partner in life and my one true love.

I will cherish our friendship and love you today, tomorrow, and forever. I will trust you and honor you, I will laugh with you and cry with you.
I will love you faithfully, through the best and the worst, through the difficult and the easy.

What may come I will always be there. As I have given you my hand to hold, so I give you my life to keep.
