Hi again.. I got many positive responses about my previous post and once again I wanna say THANK YOU SO MUCH.. You all really made my day.. :) In this post, I wanna talk about me myself actually.. Wanna share a little bit about 'me'.. Hahahhaha.. Sounds funny,eh? Hope you guys like it as well ya! Enjoy..
Seperti yang sudah saya tulis di post-post lama dulu, bagaimana kehidupan saya sebelumnya, dan bagaimana kehidupan saya sekarang setelah diubahkan dengan luar biasa oleh my Saviour Jesus Christ.. Aq ga nyangka banget lho God bisa pakai dan ubah aq sampai menjadi aq yang sekarang ini.. It's such a BLESSING.. and really ONLY BY HIS GRACE, I AM WHO I AM NOW.. I AM WHAT I AM NOW..
Setelah diubahkan oleh Tuhan, saya menjadi pribadi yang berbeda sekali dengan saya yang dlu.. Dan tidak jarang juga org berkata seperti ini : 'Waw cin, kamu kok bisa kaya gini sekarang? Wah Cin, kalau liat kamu, kayanya hidup kamu enak banget ya ga ada masalah? Cin, kamu kok rasanya jadi orang seneng terus ga pernah ada masalah gitu? Cin kamu tiap hari kok ceria banget sih, enak banget ya jd kamu? etc. Jika ada seorang yang berkata seperti itu, most of the time I replied them with smiling and said 'THANK YOU.. THANKS GOD FOR IT'.. However in here, I wanna share to u that my life is not always going well..
MY LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS GOING SMOOTH.. IT'S NOT GOOD ALL THE TIME LIKE WHAT YOU SEE.. THERE WAS A TIME I FELT SO DOWN AND I JUST WANTED TO GIVE UP.. I DID CRY SOMETIMES IF I FELT OVERWHELMED WITH MY SITUATION.. SAYA PERCAYA, ADA KALANYA TIAP ORANG MERASA DOWN, OLEH KARENA ITU KITA BUTUH SESEORANG YANG DAPAT MENGUATKAN.. BUTUH SESEORANG UNTUK MENDENGARKAN DAN ADA DISAMPING KITA SEHINGGA KITA MERASA TIDAK SENDIRI.. BUTUH SESEORANG UNTUK MENDUKUNG.. THANKS GOD ONCE AGAIN.. I HAVE SUCH A WONDERFUL FAMILY AND FRIENDS..
Jika saya lagi merasa down, atau sedang ada masalah, saya terkadang memilih untuk sendiri.. Saya bisa dikatakan tipe orang yang jarang cerita juga kepada orang lain.. I BELIEVE THAT EVERY PERSON NEEDS TIME FOR HIM/HERSELF.. ADA KALANYA TIAP ORANG BUTUH WAKTU UNTUK SENDIRI TANPA GANGGUAN APAPUN DAN DARI SIAPAPUN.. FOR ME, I CHOOSE TO BE ALONE, AND SOMETIMES I GO TO MY BATHROOM, CLOSE THE DOOR, JUST SINGING THERE.. U WONT BELIEVE IT RIGHT? BUT YES! I DID IT A LOT.. I STAND THERE WITH MY IPOD AND JUST WORSHIP HIM.. AFTER I WORSHIP HIM, I JUST PRAYED.. I PRAYED.. I TOLD HIM ALL MY PROBLEMS, ALL MY BURDENS.. AND USUALLY AT THAT TIME, I CRIED..
I REALIZE THAT I'M ONLY HUMAN, I HAVE SO MANY WEAKNESSES AND I HAVE LIMIT.. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY, WHEN I FINISHED PRAYING, I FELT GOOD AGAIN AND I CAN SMILE.. WOHOO!! THE POWER OF PRAYER IS HUGE GUYS!!
Sejak saya di dalam Tuhan dan sejak Dia di dalam saya, if there are difficulties that I must face in this life, I remind myself of these words a lot :
1. 'FOR MY GOD CREATED MY INMOST BEING, HE KNIT ME TOGETHER IN MY MOTHER'S WOMB.. I AM WONDERFULLY MADE.. HIS WORKS ARE WONDERFUL' = Tuhan yang sudah mengenal saya sejak di dalam kandungan, tidak akan pernah meninggalkan saya dalam kondisi apapun.. He's gonna be with me always in all circumstances.. WE ARE HIS MASTERPIECE, REMEMBER THAT :) (PSALMS 139:13-14)
2. 'I HAVE TOLD YOU THESE THINGS, SO THAT IN ME YOU FIND PEACE. IN THIS WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE, BUT TAKE HEART! I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD' = Tuhan sebelumnya sudah berkata bahwa di dunia ini, pasti ada suatu masalah, but He continued : REJOICE!!! Tuhan yang telah mati dan bangkit untuk saya, sekali lagi tidak akan pernah meninggalkan saya, terutama pada saat dimana saya paling membutuhkan Dia.. IN HIS PRESENCE ONLY, I CAN GAIN A PEACEFUL HEART AGAIN.. (JOHN 16:33)
3. 'MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU. FOR MY POWER IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS, SO THAT CHRIST'S POWER MAY DWELL IN ME' = Tuhan saya, yang telah memberikan keselamatan, mengatakan dengan jelas disini bahwa kasihnya lebih dari cukup untuk mengatasi semuanya.. When we are weak, we can learn to DEPEND ON HIM MORE AND MORE.. DISAAT SY LEMAH, KEKUATAN TUHAN BEKERJA SECARA SEMPURNA DAN MEMBUAT SAYA SEMAKIN MERASAKAN PENYERTAANNYA.. DI SAAT SAYA LEMAH, DIA SELALU ADA, MEMBERI KEKUATAN PADA SAYA UNTUK BERDIRI LAGI.. 'LET ME DECREASE, BUT HE ALWAYS INCREASES IN ME' (2 CORINTHIANS 12: 7-9)
4. ...'NEVER WILL I LEAVE YOU, NEVER WILL I FORSAKE YOU' = Dengan sejelas2nya disini God menekankan bahwa Dia tidak akan pernah meninggalkan kita.. Then why sometimes we still doubt Him? He's with you.. What you need to do is just open your heart, LET GO, LET GOD WORKS, THEN LET'S GO.. START FROM THE BEGINNING AGAIN.. (HEBREWS 13:5)
5. 'I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS.. I WILL COME TO YOU' = Tuhan tidak akan pernah meninggalkan kita dalam keadaan sengsara.. Whenever I pray, I can feel that He told me to be strong.. He told me that EVERYTHING IS JUST A PROCESS.. FOR OUR OWN GOOD.. THIS PROBLEMS ONLY FOR A WHILE BECAUSE I KNOW , THESE TOO WILL PASS.. (JOHN 14:18)
6. 'DO NOT BE AFRAID FOR I AM WITH YOU. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED FOR I AM YOUR GOD. I WILL STRENGTHEN YOU AND HELP YOU. I WILL HOLD YOU UP WITH MY VICTORIOUS RIGHT HAND' = Do you still need an explanation for these words? My God.. Our God is able and greater than other things.. IF GOD IS WITH US, WHO CAN STAND AGAINST US? (ISAIAH 41:10)
** Mungkin sebagai penutup, ini yg paling cocok dan merupakan ayat favorit saya juga :
7. 'I CONSIDER THAT OUR PRESENT SUFFERINGS ARE NOT WORTH COMPARING WITH THE GLORY THAT WILL BE REVEALED IN US' = BE CONTENT IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCES.. STAY ON UR PRINCIPLE.. SEBUAH PRINSIP, SAMA SEKALI TIDAK TERPENGARUH DENGAN KEADAAN DAN LINGKUNGAN.. DO NOT BE THE FOLLOWER OF WORLD'S LIFESTYLE.. SHOW THEM BY BECOMING A CHRIST'S FOLLOWER, EVEN YOU FACE A LOT HARDSHIPS IN YOUR LIFE, YOU STILL SMILE AND BE HAPPY BECAUSE YOU KNOW IF YOU HOLD ON TO UR FAITH ALWAYS AND ALWAYS, EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT IN THE END.. EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE JUST FINE.. GOD SAID 'WE ARE MORE THAN A WINNER' AND WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.. I like this phrase so much : ' I DON'T NEED EASY, I NEED POSSIBLE'.. WITH GOD, YOU CAN ACHIEVE ALL THINGS.. (ROME 8:18)
Banyak banget ayat2 yang membuktikan bagaimana Tuhan selalu menguatkan dan tidak pernah meninggalkan kita, tapi kalau ditulis satu-satu bisa-bisa ga slesai ni postnya, ga cukup,hahahahhaha.. UNTIL THIS TIME, I STILL AMAZED.. GOD IS JUST SO GOOD TO ME AND YOU LHO!! HOW PROUD I AM TO HAVE A GOD LIKE HIM.. :)
*** NOW YOU KNOW THAT MY LIFE IS NOT 24/7 HAPPY.. NOT 24/7 SMOOTH... NOT 24/7 WELL.. BUT IT'S MY CHOICE THAT DETERMINES ME.. IN SPITE OF ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN MY LIFE NOW, GOOD/BAD, HAPPY/SAD, I CHOOSE TO BE GRATEFUL ALWAYS.. I CHOOSE TO SURRENDER ALL TO HIM.. I CHOOSE TO STILL SMILING AND SAY : THANKS GOD.. I KNOW THAT I PUT MY HOPE, MY FAITH, MY HAPPINESS, MY PROBLEMS, MY FUTURE, MY DREAMS IN THE RIGHT HAND.. HE NEVER EVER LEAVE ME, NOT EVEN ONCE.. HE IS QUITE SOMETIMES, BUT NEVER ABSENT IN MY LIFE.. HE'S ALWAYS THERE FOR ME..
IN THE END, ALL THE POWER HE GAVE ME, THE GRACE HE GAVE ME, THE LOVE HE GAVE ME, IT'S ENOUGH FOR ME TO FACE ALL THE CHALLENGES IN THIS WORLD.. TO SOLVE ALL MY PROBLEMS.. TO AGAINST ALL ODDS.. WOW!! THEREFORE, IT IS TOTALLY.. TOTALLY MY JOY TO HONOR HIM.. I'M JUST SO HAPPY TO HAVE A CHANCE TO SERVE HIM THROUGH MY LIFE.. HE ACCEPTS ME JUST THE WAY I AM.. WHAT A GREAT LOVE! CAN U IMAGINE THAT? NOTHING COMPARES TO GOD'S GRACE THAT RESCUED ME ONCE AND FOREVER..
** BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, BUT IN EVERYTHING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION WITH THANKSGIVING LET YOUR REQUEST BE MADE KNOWN TO GOD (PHILLIPIANS 4:6-8)
