Kadang...

Kadang .....
Di dalam kekuatan .....
Di dalam kesuksesan .....
Di dalam keberhasilan ......
Tak ada lagi tempat bagi-Nya ......

Semua seakan berjalan begitu saja .....
Semua seakan memang sudah seharusnya ......
Semua seakan dapat berjalan tanpa-Nya ......

Dan .....
Kadang .....
Dalam kelemahan ......
Dalam kegagalan .....
Dalam permasalahan ......
Justru ada tempat yang cukup luas .......
Bagi Tuhan .....

Adakah Tuhan menghendaki kegagalan ..... ?
Adakah Tuhan menghendaki kelemahan ..... ?
Adakah Tuhan menghendaki permasalahan ....... ?

Atau ......
Dia hanya minta .....
Kita sediakan cukup tempat .....
Dalam hidup kita bagi Dia ...... ?

Jadi ......
Saat ini ......
Hari ini ......
Entah kita berhasil atau gagal ......
Entah kita kuat atau lemah .......
Adakah kita sediakan cukup tempat bagi-Nya ......
Untuk menyatakan kasih dan kuasa-Nya ...... ?

SAJAK BAYI BETLEHEM

Dia yang datang lewat tengah malam.
Ketika dunia lelap dengan nasibnya.
Meski Dia datang lebih miskin dari siapapun.
Tapi dosa dunia tergenggam di tangan-Nya.
Sajak-sajak belum tercipta ketika Dia datang.
Tapi kidung-kidung malaikat
Pengalun malam yang kudus.
Diiringi embun lingkupan damai.
Dialah . . . . . . . . terang
Dialah . . . . . . . . pembawa damai
Dan ternyata . . . .
Dialah yang membawa kita
sampai kerumah Bapa


Selamat Natal 2009 dan Tahun Baru 2010

Habit

I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest asset or heaviest burden.
I will push you up to success or down to disappointment.
I am at your command.
Half the things you do might just as well be turned over to me,
For I can do them quickly, correctly, and profitably.
I am easily managed, just be firm with me.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with the precision of a
machine and the intelligence of a person.
You can run me for profit, or you can run me for ruin.
Show me how you want it done. Educate me. Train me.
Lead me. Reward me.
And I will then...do it automatically.
I am your servant.
Who am I?
I am a habit.

Doing God's Job

Doing God's Job
by Jewell Gentry

What's this world coming to
We hear somebody say
Those words are getting famous
We hear them everyday

But if you'll just take a moment
To look around, you'll see
It's not the world that's changing
It's folks like you and me

You're The One

Just one more night
to have you in my arms,
to hear you say you love me,
to shelter me from harm.

Just one more dream
before the break of dawn,
to echo the magic moments
when you were never gone.

Why Don't We Pray

The highest privilege ever afforded to man is the power of prayer.
...then why don't we pray?

The right to talk to the highest potentate in the entire universe...
...then why don't we pray?

The most powerful force accessible to man is the potential of prayer...
...then why don't we pray?

The greatest longing in the heart of God is to talk to His children...
...then why don't we pray?

Nothing is impossible to those who pray...
...then why don't we pray?

No man ever fainted or faltered who gave himself to prayer...
...then why don't we pray?

Every sin is forgiven, every stain is washed clean, all guilt diminished to
The man who prays...
...then why don't we pray?

Hell moves farther away, Satan flees from the man who prays...
...then why don't we pray?

Anointing will come, mountains will be moved, valleys made smooth, rivers made crossable, the inaccessible made accessible, the impossible made possible,
dreams come through to the man who prays...
...then why don't we pray?

God said that men ought always to pray...
...then why don't we pray?

Paul encouraged prayer without ceasing...
...then why don't we pray?

The riches of heaven are open to those who pray in His name...
...then why don't we pray?

Everyone can pray, the young, the old, the rich, the poor, the strong, the weak, the child, the aged, the sinner, the prisoner, in any nation, in any language, all can pray...
...then why don't we pray?

THY WILL BE DONE

BAPA.......
Aku adalah segumpal tanah liat,
Keturunan Pemberontak,
Bangsa Pengeluh,
Tegar tengkuk dan keras hati.

BAPA.......
KasihMU selalu nyata dalam padang gurun,
Tiang awan meneduhkanku saat terik,
Tiang api menghangatkanku di pekatnya malam,
Kau belah laut untuk membuka jalanku.

BAPA........
KasihMU selalu nyata dalam kekurangan,
Kau beri manna sorgawi saat kulapar,
Kau kenyangkanku dengan burung puyuh,
Kau beri anggur baru saat ku dahaga.

BAPA......
T'lah ku saksikan murkaMU,
T'lah ku rasakan keadilanMU,
T'lah ku kecap kehangatan amarahMU,
T'lah ku nikmati hajaranMU,

BAPA......
Ku telah lelah berputar-putar,
Menyusuri lembah kekelaman,
Menuai taburan di masa lalu,
Bertarung dengan pergumulan.

BAPA......
Aku anakMU,Engkau BAPA ku,
BAPA yang berlimpah Kasih Setia,
Dalam segala nista ku berseru......
Ampunilah kiranya pelanggaranku.

BAPA........
Dengarlah seruku,jangan palingkan WajahMU dariku,
Persingkatlah masa hukumanku,
Turunkanlah TanganMU yang teracung sebagai ganjaranku,
Namun aku berserah pada kedaulatanMU,
Jadilah kehendakMU dalam hidupku-AMEN-

IMMANUEL-GBU-

You Ask Why?

You ask why I follow this Jesus?
Why I love Him the way I do?
When the world's turned away from His teachings
And the people who serve Him are few.

It's not the rewards I'm after
Or gifts that I hope to receive
It's the Presence that calls for commitment
It's the Spirit I trust and believe.
