God be the Center

He loves you and me.

We were the reason that He gave His life.
We were the reason that He suffered and died.
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give, to show us the reason to live.

God's not just some mighty ruler who looks down at earth and sees a bunch of nameless people running around. He knows each one of us by name. (Katy)

Don't you think that you are nothing in God's eyes.

You don't need to try to become another people, because God loves you just the way you are ^_^

And this is a verse I'd like to share with my friends,

He cares for you

He sees you when you play,

when you study,

and when you sleep,
anything...

"...He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you."

(1 Peter 5:7)

God knows all about you

He knows what you like and what you don't like.

He knows all your secrets.

In fact, He knows all about you and me even before we were born.

"And He knows the number of hairs on your head!"

(Luke 12:7)

God knows when you...

do wrong things,

say wrong things,

or think wrong things.

and God calls this sin.

"All wrongdoing is sin..."

(1 John 5:17)

God hates sin

Sin makes Him sad because it keeps you from God.

Sin stops you from being God's friend.

But God still loves you and He want you to be His friends.

"...your sins have cut you off from God. Because of sin He has turned His face away from you and will not listen anymore."

(Isaiah 59:2)

God loves us

He wants us to be God's friend.

The only way He could do this was by taking away our sins,

so He died on the Cross to take away our sins.

"We were God's enemies, but He made us His friends through the death of His son."

(Romans 5:10)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

God knows our troubles and our happiness. 

He made each one of us special, and he wants to have a personal relationship with each of us.

God is more than a story, more than words on a page of history.

Let us pray..

Dear God,

I'm sorry for all my sins.

Forgive me for all the wrong things I do, say or think.

I know I still make mistakes, but I believe You have a new mercies for me everyday.

I believe Jesus died on the cross for me and rose again on the third day.

Thank you Father for taking away all my sins,

Your love never changes.

And God, I want to know You more,

Let Your Spirit overwhelm me,
Let Your presence overtake my heart.

Please come into my life and be my Lord, be my Saviour and be the center of my life.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

And I've finally found the reason for living, it's in giving every part of my heart to Him.

God bless you guys ^_^

Gratitude

Being Grateful.

It is easy to let days fly by without taking notice to the world around us.

Life is beautiful.
Soak it in, think about it, and be grateful.

"To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything He has given us."

What do I have to be grateful for?

"Be grateful for what you have; you'll end up having more.

If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough."

(Oprah Winfrey)

Let us be grateful for the every single breath that we take. 

Every breath we draw is a gift of God's love.

Let us be grateful for the people whose love and kindness provided warmth to our heart.

I'm grateful for my family, my cousins, my friends & everyone who always beside me.

Thanks God you already put me here, I believe you already planned something beautiful in my life.

Let us be grateful for all the obstacle in our life.

It have strengthened you as you continue your journey.

And also allowing us to experience exactly what our heart needs to grow, prosper and heal.

Be thankful for the bad things in life; for they open our eyes to the good things we weren't paying attention to before.

And many more....

"A joyful heart is good medicine,
    but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." (Proverbs 17:22)

There is always, always, always something to be thankful for ^_^

Everyday is a gift, so let us receive it with eagerness and share it with joy.

God loves you, guys.

GAME DAY

Golden Days

Today is my first game in my college, and I write this posts 1 hour before I play. (So excited)


Before I leave my room, I like to watch a videos that inspired me when I'm playing on the field.
(Even though I'm not playing basket ball, but I like to watched Jeremy Lin's videos.)
I learn so many good things from Jeremy, whether on the field or outside the field.

Basically in the Game Day, I just try to save my energy, like sleep before playing or read some books that can appease my heart.

I try to make my own mind set about the game that I want to play with my team.
Not too much is going on my mind besides what's happen in the game soon.
I tried to make sure that I play my game, so, when I do that, I believe that everything's gonna be alright.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I just keep to reminding myself to kinda be free.
Be my self, make a teamwork, and smile a lot at the field.

Just go out there, and have fun.

"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain."

(1 Corinthians 15:58)

Give your BEST effort in everything you're doing, and let GOD control the result.

Independence Day

68th Independence Day of Indonesia!

Happy Independence Day to my beloved country, Indonesia.

"Tumpah Darah, Tanah Air Beta."



"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

Jeremiah 29:11

Past Present Future

P P F

Hi,guys.
It's August already, and this is my new posts.

My friends and me have made a new nick name for our friendship.
And I love it so much!

"Good friends are like star, you don't always see them, but you know they are always there."

                         

It called PPF (Past  Present  Future)
Isn't it cool? ^_^
Yes, I think that is a lot of meaning from that name.

Past -- It's our memories.
"Sometimes the past is something you can't let go of. And sometimes the past is something we'll do anything to forget. And sometimes we learn something new about the past that changes everything we know about the present."

Present -- It's today.
Today is a gift, that's why people call it 'present'.
This is our start to go to the future, cause the future depends on what you do today.

Future -- It's our goal.
We believe if we keep trying hard and not give up, in the future we will meet again on the top.
We'll meet again with the same relationship, as a friends.

PPF goes to Puncak (December 2013)

"True friends are never apart. Maybe in distance, but not in heart."


Great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.
Keep in touch with your friends, no matter where they are or what they do right now.


Love your friends ; your neighbor like you love your self.
God bless.
