SECOND CHANCE

"I'm sorry, God. I'm really sorry." It's all I can say in front of You. I wish I didn't do it I wish I didn't hurt You But, I did What a shame! Coming before You without feeling ashamed Angels may think, "How dare you? After what you have done?" But, God, I don't know where to go You are the only one I can remember I don't want to lose You I know I've done bad things I should have thought...

PRAYER WARRIOR

When I wake up in the morning and I can't see the bright light of the sun, You said, "Pray to Me." When moment goes wrong and my heart is filled with disappointment, You said, "Pray to Me." When troubles come and it is hard for me to see the way out, You said, "Pray to Me." When friends and relatives walk away and no one wants to help me, You said, "Pray to Me." When things turn out to get...

SEE DEEPER

There is a unique restaurant that serves food for its guesses in the middle of darkness. They intentionally close the guesses eyes and shutdown the room light so that no one will see the food or other guesses, except the waiters. Most guesses have difficulties in taking their food and bringing it into their mouths, and sometimes spilling out their food or drink because they definitely can't...

GOD OF DIVINE MINISTRY

We work with children. We try to help them with their education and their health. We realize that our help is almost nothing compared to the world's demand nowadays. Schools are proven to be more expensive than several years ago, and good medications are more difficult to get if we don't have much money. But, in the middle of crisis, we try to give a little light for needy children to live better. Unfortunately,...

LOVE HIS HOUSE

Bible talks about worship, praise, and the importance of attending a meeting together. It teaches us to love house of the Lord and not to abandon times when we should come to worship (to church). In my city, I still find different stories or excuses why some Christians do not go to church. Some of them are classical ones such as working overtime and family business. But I also find other...

HIS CHILD

Most people may be don't know that I am a mommy's daughter (most people think that daughter is commonly close to her father, and son to his mother; but, not with me). I never feel shy to admit it, because it is the truth and I can't deny it. We are so close until I can never hide anything from her. Even though my mother sometimes can't keep secret, but still I can't hide anything from her. I...

POWER OF PRAYER

My friend told me that she knows a woman, I forgot her name, that she is a woman with a great impact in every prayer she prayed. Each time she prays, she will speak loudly to God as if He were her own good friend. She will also lift up her Bible, and says, "Father, You've said it by Yourself. It's written here. So, keep Your word." When she told me about her, I was so thrilled. I never imagine...

BELIEVE IN THE FATHER

All of us must have problems, right? Even children already have problems; friendship, relationship, family, education, etc. All we have to do as Christians is surrendering everything to our Mighty God. Me and my friend once faced a problem concerning with money. We had to get a certain amount of money to fulfill our target. We both are Christians, I think you should know that, and we believe...

ISN'T TOO HIGH TO GAIN

In a small house in the border of Ohio, lived a poor widow with her only eighteen months son. The boy grew up and within a few years, he had to cut trees and planted a small piece of land owned by his mother in the wood. Even though he had to work in a very young age, he still spent a little time to study. He used every minute to read books he borrowed (for he had no money to buy them). When...

UNIFORM OF AUTHORITY

Have you ever seen a police officer stood in the middle of a crossroad or a T-junction and managed a heavy traffic with his hands and his whistle? I believe you have. Don't you think it is something cool? A man standing in the middle of a traffic jam can control such number of vehicles which obey him so much? No matter how small or big the vehicle is, the policeman still rules. No matter how...

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...

SURRENDERED LIFE

Yesterday my pastor told me that his car has got a little accident. When he parked it outside a church, a man bringing a three wheel motorbike unintentionally scratched it. The scratch was quite deep. But, he decided not to be bothered by it and just asked the man to be more careful next time. It's a very kind deed I think, because not all people would do what he did. I believe that most...

DON'T REJECT IT

Have you ever won a lottery? Or a doorprize? Anyone who gets it must be very happy, right? But, unfortunately, not with me. It happened years ago when I was a kid. I remember when I was in elementary school. A food product came and made a demonstration to our school. They held a doorprize and the first prize was a man bike. Each student and teacher got a ticket with numbers on it. And just...

GIVING THANKS

I have a friend who doesn't really like eating. It is weird, isn't it? While everybody has breakfast, lunch, or dinner, my friend, as the matter of fact, tries to avoid them. He doesn't like snacks too. Almost all of his mother efforts to prepare his meals are useless. When he eats something, he will never finish his meals. In the end, he will throw the rest of it to the trash can. What a waste? This...

FAMILY PRAYER

Dear Father, I come to thank You, for giving me a good family around me. What should I say to You, God? I believe it needs more than just thank you. They are such a great blessing for me. Without them, I'm homeless, I'm alone, I'm lonely, I'm hollow. Thank you for giving me my father. Although he's not as perfect as I expect, but He loves me. It's true that sometimes I couldn't understand...

MY WHOLE WORLD

There was a little girl who was lost in a market. She had just lost her mother's grasp and she couldn't find her mother among so many people around her. She didn't know what to do, so she just walked here and there to find her mother. But, she couldn't find her anyway. The little girl cried. Her tears fell over her red cheeks and she couldn't even control it. She lost hope that she could go...

THANK YOU FOR THE CROSS

Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. A great moment to celebrate of course, because it is part of one of the most important moments in the history of mankind. It might be a little bit weird for some people when they see how Christians celebrate Christ's death on the cross. Of course it's funny for them, but not for us. We who understand the meaning of the death, on contrary,...
