TOGETHER MEANS STRONGER- Christian Daily Devotion

I've read an article about togetherness. It said that being alone will not be considered a threat for someone else, especially for the enemy. When I think about it, I think the quote is very true. When we are alone, we will be easily destroyed, but if we are many, we will be difficult to defeat.

Bible also talks about friendlessness, that being alone will be weaken someone, and how poor that person is, for no one will able to help him. Sometimes some people live too independent, they do not have a good relationship with other people because they think it is not necessary. They are too independent and consider themselves able of doing everything alone. "Why should I ask for others' help if I can do it by myself?" Well, perhaps they can do things by themselves, but I believe that there are times when they do need someone else.

Bible says that someone with friend(s) will be able to rise because he has someone who'll help him when he falls. Bible says that someone who prays with partner(s), the prayer will be heard and granted. Bible also says that our couple will be our helper in life. So, why should we stand with a condition of being alone?

God creates us as individual and social creation. He does create us as thinking, meditating, dreaming, daydreaming person, but He also create us as loving, caring, helping, chatting, playing, working creature. For some reasons we can live by ourselves, but for some others we will not be able to survive without other people. Let's see they who are around us, our family, friends, best friends, they are people we can count on. When we fall, they can lift us. When we are sad, they will console us. God presents them around us so that we experience the beauty of togetherness. Don't live by yourself!

Dear God, thank you for my family and friends, and forgive me if I used to be selfish and arrogant, and think that I can do everything by myself. Help me to see why I am created and why people around me are created. For one more time, thank you for my family and friends. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.

A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING

Love Changes Everything ~ Many people race for success in this world. They will do everything for it, even use inappropriate ways. Here is the moment when people start to leave love. They become selfish people and only want to put their interest above others.

When failure comes, no one will care about them and despair will be their only friend. Greed, wealth, honors, and selfishness becomes boomerang for they who sow it. Without love, we live alone, and our soul is empty.

In love there is no failure. In love there is no loneliness. Love can change everything; it turns curse into blessing, it turns sorrow into joy, it turns tears into laugh.

When we love someone, we indirectlychange his life; we also change ours. At that moment, God is stretching out His hand to renew and bless us. That’s why never stop loving others for it will draw God’s perfect love closer to our life.

Love is the most powerful weapon in taking over a situation. In a pure love, no one will ever hurt our feeling. When the pain comes, love will change it into blessing for they who hurt us. So, let’s start racing to love and get prepared for awesome blessing from God.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

1Cor. 13:7-9

ALASAN BAGI ORANG SIBUK!!!!

Alasan orang sibuk itu berbacam-macam. Ada yang sibuk sekolah, belajar, bekerja, memasak, atau hal-hal yang lain sehingga waktunya kerap habis untuk mengerjakan pekerjaannya di dunia.

Saya pernah bertanya terhadap seseorang, “Sudah bersaat teduh pagi ini?” dengan enteng dia menjawab “Ah, saya sangat sibuk. Pagi-pagi harus secepatnya ke pejabat, sungguhpun Tuhan juga bakal mengerti kesibukanku.”

mengurus  waktu itu sangat penting. Sebelum kita memulai semua aktiviti kita dalam 1×24 jam, maka kita harus menyerahkan waktu kita terlebih dahulu kepada Tuhan, agar Tuhan ikut campur dalam segala aktivitI kita sehingga apapun yang kita kerjakan dalam waktu yang ada itu boleh menjadi berkat.

Tidak ada salahnya bila kita mulai mendisiplinkan diri untuk bersaat teduh di pagi dengan memuji Tuhan ataupun membaca renungan harian. Kita harus mampu untuk tekun melakukan hal baik kkeran itu akan menjadi kebiasaan dalam kehidupan kita dan kebiasaan itulah yang akan membentuk karakter kita. :)

HE CAN CHANGE ME!

It's really hard indeed to change someone's character, right?

I have a friend from a very simple family. She once told me about her parents, how they used to live in an old way of life, such as cooking with woods, or ironing with charcoal iron. I know that they are not a rich family, but I think they all are hard workers, including my friend. She worked in a company and without her sister living with her, she has to work for the sake of her family. I think her effort is not in vain. With her salary, she tried to ease her parents life by giving them things, such as gas stove or electrical iron. She hoped that those stuff could make her parents' lives easier. (They don't have to buy charcoal and use the heavy charcoal iron. They do not need to find woods when they want to cook something.) It's a very good and kind intention, I think. She wants a better life for her parents. But, in fact, her intention was not really succeeded. Her parents still used the old stuff, woods and charcoal iron.

Changing a character has almost the same proses as changing a habit. You need to adjust yourself with something new, get used to it, and do it until it becomes the part of you. The difference is it takes longer time to change someone's character than to change his habit. Some people said that it needs at least 21 days to change someone's habit (My friend's parents finally uses the gas stove and the electrical iron several months later.). But, it takes years, or may be a lifetime to change someone's character.

A character is influenced by conditions, environments, surroundings, everything connected with a person since he was born, even since he was a fetus. If someone grows in good family, good environment, he has greater potention of having a healthy, good character. On contrary, a person surrounded by violence and other deviation in society has a greater potention of having a deviate character. Here we know that if a character is built through times, it also take times to change it.

I have experienced it by myself. It is very difficult to change into a patient person, someone who doesn't take everything too serious so that she isn't angry easily. I have to face moments testing my patience in order to be a better person, a patient person.

You may experience the same thing. You want to be a better person but it is too hard to do. But let us remember that there is nothing too hard for our Lord. He can do everything, including things we considered too hard to do, including things we considered impossible. He can change you and me.

I believe that the process is not easy, but we have God who will empower us to make it. Doesn't He create us for good things, good purposes? He will enable us to do things, even impossible things. He will change us to be good people, better people, the best people. He is able to do so.

Just surrender our life to God during the process. I say again, it will not be easy, it will never be easy. But, it will not be in vain, for He can do great things through you and me when we surrender.

Father, I surrender my life to You. I want to be a better person for You, and You're the only one who can change me. I give myself into Your process. Give me a heart that will not give up easily. Strengthen me along my way to the place where You are. I know it won't be easy, but I also know that there is nothing impossible for You. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart. 
Jer. 24:7
