Share From Facebook - Yesus Adalah Kebenaran

Ia melewati keadaan buruk tetap dengan KEBERANIAN,
Ia menjalani rumitnya jejak hidup tetap dengan HARAPAN,
Ia menapaki sukarnya merangkai masa depan tetap dengan KESABARAN,
Ia melalui banyak derai arus pencobaan dengan tetap mengandalkan TUHAN,

Sesekali ia terjatuh namun selalu mampu untuk kembali BANGKIT,
sering pula ia tersesat namun selalu mampu menemukan JALAN KELUAR,
Tak jarang ia kelelahan dalam banyak persimpangan mengenai beberapa pilihan namun selalu mampu memilih jalan-jalan arah KEBENARAN,
Sekejap ia harus tertawan dalam ocehan orang fasik karena ingin memiliki kesempurnaan dalam kasih setia TUHAN,

Ia menyukai KEADILAN walau sesekali harus bertindak tidak adil menurut pandangan mata orang,
Ia mengharapkan KEBENARAN walau terkadang harus terlibat dalam ketidakbenaran para pembicara yang berlaku palsu,
Ia menantikan KEDAMAIAN walau sering kali harus terbakar amarah karena kebodohan dan kelemahan daging,
Ia mencintai KASIH yang bersifat universal sebagai bukti bahwa ia mencintai TUHAN.

Ia seperti pohon, yang ditanam di tepi aliran air, yang menghasilkan buahnya pada musimnya, dan yang tidak layu daunnya; apa saja yang diperbuatnya berhasil.
Mazmur 1:3.

Iman yang Sejati

Dari mula terima Baptisan mu,

Dan dipenuhi kuasa Roh Kudus,

Yang menguatkan dan segarkan mu,

Penuhi kasih yang tidak terputus.

Imanlah yang menjadi asasnya,

Untuk kita bertumbuh dalamNya,

Biar banyak cobaan dalam hidup,

Tetap sempurna dan bermakna,

Menjadi tongkat yang teguh.

c/o

taat satukan diri, di dalam doa-doamu,

dan merenungkan Firman Tuhan,

itulah senjata yang padu,

untuk Iman yang sejati

Hidup yang mengutamakan Kristus,

Ubah identity dan integrity,

Iman kristiani…yang bersaksi,

Menjadi tanda yang hidup,

Bagi Kristus di dunia ini…

MAZMUR 138

NYANYIAN SYUKUR ATAS PERTOLONGAN TUHAN

Sepenuh hati, aku hendak bersyukur,

Di hadapan syurgawi aku hendak bernyanyi;

Akan ‘kusujud menyembah nama-Mu,

Ke hadapan hadirat-Nu dan kekudusan-Mu.

Tiada yang seagung engkau, ya Tuhanku,

Sehinggakan orang hina di biji mata-Mu;

Tiada yang tersembunyi di hadapan-Mu,

Sehinggakan orang sombong malu ditatap-Mu.

c/o

Kerana setia-Mu dan kasih-Mu abadi,

Kerana nama-mu dan Firman-Mu agung;

Ketika aku beseru engkau menjawab aku,

Memberkatiku dengan kekuatan baru.

#

Ketetapan-Mu Engkau penuhi,

Tanpa syarat Engkau menerimaku;

Janganlah aku Engkau tinggali,

Akulah yang telah Engkau jadikan.

I.41 Mary Is My Mother Too

1. The Angel Gabriel announced to Mary,
    She would be God's Mother, you see
    And God was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
    And born of the Virgin Mary.

Chorus :
Hail Mary, Mother of God, Lady in Blue, I love you.
Hail Mary Mother of God, Mary is my Mother, too.

2. Each day I'll say a little prayer to Mary,
    Ev'rywhere, her Medal, I'll wear.
    Her Son on the Cross, Who is Christ, our Brother,
    Said, "Behold Thy Mother".

☆ DAFTAR KEKURANGAN ☆

Seorang pria dan kekasihnya menikah dan acaranya pernikahannya sungguh megah. Semua kawan-kawan dan keluarga mereka hadir menyaksikan dan menikmati hari yang berbahagia tersebut. Suatu acara yang luar biasa mengesankan.

Mempelai wanita begitu anggun dalam gaun putihnya dan pengantin pria dalam tuxedo hitam yang gagah. Setiap pasang mata yang memandang setuju mengatakan bahwa mereka sungguh-sungguh saling mencintai.

Beberapa bulan kemudian, sang istri berkata kepada suaminya, “Sayang, aku baru membaca sebuah artikel di majalah tentang bagaimana memperkuat tali pernikahan” katanya sambil menyodorkan majalah tersebut.

“Masing-masing kita akan mencatat hal-hal yang kurang kita sukai dari pasangan kita. Kemudian, kita akan membahas bagaimana merubah hal-hal tersebut dan membuat hidup pernikahan kita bersama lebih bahagia…..”

Suaminya setuju dan mereka mulai memikirkan hal-hal dari pasangannya yang tidak mereka sukai dan berjanji tidak akan tersinggung ketika pasangannya mencatat hal-hal yang kurang baik sebab hal tersebut untuk kebaikkan mereka bersama. Malam itu mereka sepakat untuk berpisah kamar dan mencatat apa yang terlintas dalam benak mereka masing-masing.

Besok pagi ketika sarapan, mereka siap mendiskusikannya. “Aku akan mulai duluan ya”, kata sang istri. Ia lalu mengeluarkan daftarnya. Banyak sekali yang ditulisnya, sekitar 3 halaman…

Ketika ia mulai membacakan satu persatu hal yang tidak dia sukai dari suaminya, ia memperhatikan bahwa airmata suaminya mulai mengalir…..
“Maaf, apakah aku harus berhenti ?” tanyanya.
“Oh tidak, lanjutkan…” jawab suaminya.

Lalu sang istri melanjutkan membacakan semua yang terdaftar, lalu kembali melipat kertasnya dengan manis diatas meja dan berkata dengan bahagia, “Sekarang gantian ya, engkau yang membacakan daftarmu”.

Dengan suara perlahan suaminya berkata “Aku tidak mencatat sesuatupun di kertasku. Aku berpikir bahwa engkau sudah sempurna, dan aku tidak ingin merubahmu. Engkau adalah dirimu sendiri. Engkau cantik dan baik bagiku. Tidak satupun dari pribadimu yang kudapatkan kurang…. ”
Sang istri tersentak dan tersentuh oleh pernyataan dan ungkapan cinta serta isi hati suaminya. Bahwa suaminya menerimanya apa adanya…
Ia menunduk dan menangis…..

Saudaraku terkasih,
Dalam hidup ini, banyak kali kita merasa dikecewakan, depressi, dan sakit hati. Sesungguhnya tak perlu menghabiskan waktu memikirkan hal-hal tersebut. Hidup ini penuh dengan keindahan, kesukacitaan dan pengharapan.

Mengapa harus menghabiskan waktu memikirkan sisi yang buruk, mengecewakan dan menyakitkan jika kita bisa menemukan banyak hal-hal yang indah di sekeliling kita ? Kita akan menjadi orang yang berbahagia jika kita mampu melihat dan bersyukur untuk hal-hal yang baik dan mencoba melupakan yang buruk.

2 Korintus 13:11
"Akhirnya, saudara-saudaraku, bersukacitalah, usahakanlah dirimu supaya sempurna. Terimalah segala nasihatku! Sehati sepikirlah kamu, dan hiduplah dalam damai sejahtera; maka Allah, sumber kasih dan damai sejahtera akan menyertai kamu!"

LORD JESUS bless you and me, now and forever. AMEN.

Like Eagle

O my soul

do you not know

Have you not heard

It's been told from the beginning

The Lord your God

Is on your side

O my soul

don't be afraid

Hope in the Lord

By His righteousness and power

He will strengthen

He will guide

Chorus :

And I will soar on wings like eagles

Held by the hand of God

I will run and not grow tired

When on His name I call

For the Lord is never weary

His ways are beyond my thoughts

I will trust in Him with all my hearts

Ending:

And I will rest upon His promise...

Patiently I'll wait...

I'll wait...

I'll wait..

J.57 My Love, My Life I've Given (Come Follow Me)

My love, my life I've given, to One who is divine,
For His great love is boundless,
It has captured all of mine.
He is my my Lord and Saviour, the Son of God made man.
He said to me, "Come follow Me,"
The Son of God made man.
Hearing His voice, I made my choice,
The Son of God made man.

Few people know the secret that when one's love is pure,
The peace and joy that Christ gives
Are beyond all dreams for sure.
No greater love than His then,
in all the world I'll find,
He is my King, everything,
The Son Of God made man,
King He shall be eternally,
The Son of God made man
The King of Glory, the Son of God made man.

J46 A Call To Christians

M. Frances

A light within the world,

Yes, witnesses are we

To bear the light of Christ

For all the world to see.

Chorus : We come with joy O Christ

               In answer to Your Call,

               Through love we give All.

               Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Your love and light O Lord,

You send us to impart

To those who know You not

Yet love You in their heart.

Have the mercy on the world,

That sin and strife may cease,

Extend your reign, O Christ,

You are the King of peace.

And when I pray, thou prayest too,

Thy pray'r is all for me:

But when I sleep, thou sleepest not.

But watchest patiently. 

 

D40 Seek Ye First The Kingdom

Seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and His righteousness,
And all these things shall be added unto you;
Allelu, alleluia

Chorus : Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Man shall not live by bread alone,
But by every word,
That proceeds from the mouth of God,
Allelu, Alleluia.

Where two or three are gathered in My Name,
There am I in the midst.
And whatsoever ye shall ask I will do.
Allelu, alleluia.

Ask, and it shall be given unto you,
Seek and ye shall find;
Knock and it shall be opened unto you,
Allelu, Alleluia.

C.4 All That I Am

All that I am, all that I do,
All that I'll ever have,
I offer now to you.

All that I dream, all that I pray,
All that II'll ever make,
I give to you today.

Antiphon : Take and sanctify these gifts
                  For Your honour, Lord.
                  Knowing that I love and serve You
                  Is enough reward.

Verse 1, Antiphon, verse 2

A.54 How Great Thou Art!

1. O Lord my God, when I in  awesome wonder,
    Consider all the works Thy hands have made
    I see the star, I hear the rolling thunder,
    Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Chorus :
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee:
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee:
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

2. And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
    Sent Him to die- I scarce can take it in;
    That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
    He bled and died, to take away my sin.

3. When burdens press and seem beyond endurance,
    Bowed down with grief, to Him I lift my face;
    And then in love He brings my sweet assurance:
    "My child! for thee sufficient is My grace."

4. When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation,
    And take me home - what joy shall fill my heart!
    Then I shall bow with humble adoration,
    And there proclaim, My God How great Thou art!
