GOD OF BLESSING

I've got a new enlightenment when I entered this year. God gave me a new way to start a new job by being an entrepreneur. Not only that, He also gave me this yearly verse: The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it (Pro. 10:22). At first, I didn't know why I got the verse. My friend who helped me to find the idea of homeworking thought that it must have something...

SAD CLOWN

There was a clown at a park. Its funny face made every child who saw it laughed. Its funny style made every person who passed by smiled. Of course, that is what a clown do, to make other people happy. Of course, that was what this clown tried to do, to make other people joyful. After working, the clown went to a public rest room to change and clean his make up. He was very different without...

PLEASING WORDS

"I'm proud of you!" It is the most unforgettable sentence which was ever said by my brother. I am grateful that I knew him. Well, actually the one I call my brother isn't my real brother. He was my sponsor. I have known him since I was in junior high school. He helped me in my education for several years. And during that years, we wrote to each other. The sentence above was repeated in almost...

THE REAL SALT AND LIGHT

Be the salt and the light of the world! Salt makes food salty, tasty. Light makes a place seen, clear, brighter. Salt keeps away tastelessness. Light keeps away darkness. Salt is meaningless to sea, salty things. Light is meaningless to bright places. Both salt and light has a great influence over things it touches. Yet, it has no meaning among its kind. So, be the salt and the light for...

THE BEST

Everyday we try to do our best. We work for the best result and our goal is perfectness. It's good, and even a very good thing to do. But, whom are those things for? We live among people, who know God and do not know God. Have we pay attention that they who do not know God, our God, also do good things, even things better than what Christians do? We have to admit that sometimes they do better...

P.U.S.H

I notice something common in some Christian conversation. It appears each time they talk about their plan, their problem, or their struggle. What is that? It is the term of, "... at least, pray." Prayer sometimes refers to last attempt in dealing with things. "At least, pray" gives a connotation that prayer is the minimal effort when people still have no clue about other things to do. Well,...

SACRIFICE

That girl was laid there, didn't move, didn't blink. She didn't know where she was, she didn't realize what's happening to her. She just stared at the sky. She felt that she laid on something cold, something wet, something hard for her back skin. The wind breezed around her, touched her chicks and turned them cold. She tried to move her hand. It's difficult at first, but when she made...

PURE HEART

Having a pure heart is a very difficult thing to do. You have to be used to thing I call sacrifice. Someone can sacrifice things for others, but he might not have a pure heart. But the pure heart will never spent their time without sacrificing things for other people. I had an appointment with my friends this evening. The place where we should meet was quite far from my house. My friends...

SHOW YOUR LOVE

Today ran just like the other days. I woke up in the morning to prepare everything for my family. I cleaned the house, I cooked, I took a bath and had breakfast... nothing's special actually. Until I spent a little time to walk in front of my house and stood at the gate. That was time when I saw a young woman walked from the western side of our district nakedly. I didn't know what happened...

I LOVE ME

If I ask you this question, "If you have a choice, what part of your body that you want to replace? Why don't you like them or why do you want to replace them?" what is your answer? "I want to replace my eyes. I am slant-eyed and I don't like it. I want to have bigger and rounder eyes." "I don't like my legs. I think they are too short. I want to replace them with longer legs so I can be...

LOVE IN A WALLET

Do you have a wallet? I believe that most of you do have it. Does it have a picture/photo pocket? I'm sure it does, and I'm sure you've used it, haven't you? Well, whose photo is the one in your wallet, especially in the front one? I solemnly think that it is someone very important to you, isn't it? It's a very common thing when someone keeps somebody's picture (or maybe something's picture)...

BETTER

I had to bring some stuff to my office today, but that wasn't the problem. I have a little "worry" each time I have to bring some stuff to some places by public transportation. I don't judge that the transportation is bad or uncomfortable, it's the people who sometimes make me uncomfortable. I often find unpleasing passengers during my way. They who keep the seat for themselves. They who...

NO LONGER I AM

It happened again. What a "testing" day! Since I woke up in the morning, my heart was filled with worries. I have stayed awake for a whole night, but I couldn't finish my job. There is a great burden in my heart, "How can I finish all these tasks?" But it was my fault. I let the worry controlled me. All that I'd been thinking about was that I have to solve them all, today. I forgot that I'm...
