Don't Let The Sun Go Down In Anger -- words from my Sis

Don't Let The Sun Go Down In Anger

Don't let the sun go down in anger.

Time is more valuable...

We have an assignment, destiny and purpose.

Don't nurse an old wound.

Don't re-live the past.

Don't get involved with battles that don't matter.

Don't talk someone into loving you-

know that some people no matter what you give

will not be happy.

Don't ask God why my loved one didnt make it.

Don't live in self pity.

Redeem the day...

While you walk through the valley, be a blessing to others

and you will make it to the mountain high.

Our life is like a mist - we are here, then we are gone.

Be more careful and deliberate of how you spend your time.

Don't live to say; "If only..."

Our days are numbered.

How will you spend the approximate 657,461.5 hours

Go

Don't let anything block your sun.

Put God first and before you go to bed say to God;

"I lift all my anger,bitterness and pain up to you God"

In the last hour you want to say;

"God, I lived my life to the fullest, I have no anger, I have no resentments,

I took nothing for granted, I forgave, I loved and I put you first."

Amen.

(The above was inspired by Joel Osteen and I thought it would be nice to share with you.)

Arms Wide Open

What does love look like? is the question Ive been pondering

What does love look like?

What does love look like? is the question Ive been asking of You

Once believed that love was romance, just a chance

I even thought that love was for the lucky and the beautiful

I once believed that love was a momentary bliss, but love is more than this

All You ever wanted was my attention

All You ever wanted was love from me

All You ever wanted was my affections to sit here at Your feet and tell me

What does love look like? is the question Ive been pondering

What does love look like? If all of life comes down to love then tell me

What does love look like? is the question Ive been pondering

What does love look like?

Then I sat down a little frustrated and confused

Your fire of life comes down to love. And love has to be more than sentiment,

More than selfishness and selfish gain

Then I saw Him there

Hanging on a tree, looking at me

I saw Him there

Hanging on a tree, looking at me

He was looking at me looking at Him, staring through me

I could not escape those beautiful eyes

And I began to weep and weep

He had arms wide open, heart exposed

Arms wide open, He was bleeding, bleeding.

Arms wide open, heart exposed

Arms wide open, He was bleeding, bleeding

Loves definition

Loves definition, was looking at me

Looking at Him. Hanging on a tree

I began to weep and weep and weep and weep

This is how I know what love is.

And as I sat there, weeping, crying, those beautiful eyes

Full of desire and love. And He said to me

You shall love Me..You shall love Me.

With arms wide open, heart exposed

With arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding

You shall love Me.. You shall love Me..

If anybodys looking for love in all the wrong places

If youve been searching for love, come to Me. Come to me.

Take up your cross. Deny yourself.

Forget your fathers house and run. Run with Me.

Cause you were made for abandon your heart and listen

Cause you were made for Someone greater, Someone bigger, so follow Me.

And youll come alive when you learn to die.

And He said to me

You shall love Me. You shall love Me

With arms wide open, heart exposed

With arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding

Faith

One of my few dear friends told me about his dream. He said that in his dream, an unknown girl and I ask him to go somewhere but something happens and a building collapsed, then he saw me wounded and covered in blood asking for help. It seemed the dream disturbed him enough to call me and asked if there is anything going on.

I was touched and somehow sad, since the dream was not a good one. Then I braced myself and told him that I’m all right and I would prefer him to have God raptures me in his dream.

One interesting fact in my experience about the word “rapture” which is “diangkat” in bahasa Indonesia. Most people would take it as “dead”, not taken to the heaven alive. They would said things like “Are you sick?” or “Do you have a problem?”.

I explained about my belief of rapture and told him that this world has little time left. I didn’t know if I use a wrong words or this topic was not really appealing, but he was upset.   

This dear friend didn’t hide anything, he clearly stated that I freaked him out. He dislikes the idea about doomsday, the end of the world or whatever the name is. He said his friend also Christian but never said such things. To be honest I was somewhat hurt, but I can’t blame him.

I realized that it is hard to keep my faith without being judged and treated as a freak. However, I’ll just let it be and keep on believing. After all, I prefer to live my life as a tool of the Lord and serve Him than live in this temporary world. I believe in heaven and the eternal life that will be granted from the Lord after we finish our mission in this earth.

Perhaps I’m insane, crazy, freak, blablabla.

But keeping my faith to Lord Jesus won’t hurt me since I’m chasing the afterlife not the life in this world.     

An answered prayer

Working as an apprentice is fun. Although I got no salary XD this wonderful experience itself is enough to satisfy me.

One thing for sure, I couldn’t sleep until noon again. The office starts at 8.30 and I used to sleep until 11.00 ( o.o “) Somehow I remember about my wish to God to change me into a discipline and responsible person and get rid of my laziness. Then voila, He gave me a job…

I am a human with many flaws, aside of my laziness and bad behavior; I also am a timid person. I used to be afraid of going out to an unfamiliar place, let alone riding a bus. I choose taxi instead of busses and now I ride busses every morning and evening.

God’s force really is mysterious; He gives strength, guts and wit.

He answers my prayer with something new and exciting. He polishes me and when I took a peek into my past, He amazed me so much.
