\n<\/span>Control Our Tongues<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>Perfect?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, okay, that’s not me.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe that is the thing that popped up in our mind as soon as we read this verse.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Doesn’t always mean that we need to be perfect because it seems impossible.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But, it’s also good to try to be a better person, especially in controlling our tongues and choosing our words.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This verse is for reminding us that to say words in polite manner is also a proof that we’re Christ’s disciples.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

— James 3:2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span>Mengendalikan Lidah<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>Sempurna?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ah, itu bukan saya.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mungkin itu yang ada di pikiran ketika kita membaca ayat ini.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Bukan berarti kita harus selalu sempurna, karena rasanya itu tidaklah mungkin.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Namun juga, tidak ada salahnya jika kita terus mencoba menjadi seseorang yang lebih baik lagi, terutama dalam mengendalikan lidah serta memilih kata-kata.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ayat ini, untuk mengingatkan kita semua bahwa berkata-kata yang santun merupakan bukti pula bahwa kita adalah pengikut Kristus.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span>Kita semua sering membuat kesalahan. Tetapi orang yang tidak pernah membuat kesalahan dengan kata-katanya, ia orang yang sempurna, yang dapat menguasai seluruh dirinya.<\/span><\/p>\n

— Yakobus 3:2<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>July 06<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Prove It With our Lives<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/b><\/span>If we claim that we understand God’s ways, we need to show it with our live.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully, we can live an honorable life, doing good works with humility that comes from God’s wisdom.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>If you are wise and understand God\u2019s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

— James 3:13<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span>Buktikan dengan Hidup Kita<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>Jika kita menyatakan bahwa kita mengerti jalan Tuhan, hendaknya kita pun menunjukkannya dalam hidup kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga kita bisa hidup baik, melakukan hal-hal yang baik pula yang berasal dari hikmat Allah.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Siapakah di antara kamu yang bijak dan berbudi? Baiklah ia dengan cara hidup yang baik menyatakan\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0perbuatannya\u00a0\u00a0oleh hikmat yang lahir dari kelemahlembutan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

— Yakobus 3:13<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>July 07<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Beware of Jealousy<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/b><\/span>Jealousy and selfish ambition were in the beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n

If we don’t control the negative feeling or intention, then it will come disorder and every kind of evil acts.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s why, it’s really important for us to purify our heart, stay thankful\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

— James 3:16<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span>Berhati-hatilah dengan Iri Hati<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/b><\/span>Iri hati dan mementingkan sendiri adalah awalnya.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jika kita tidak mengendalikan perasaan dan keinginan negatif itu, kemudian muncullah kekacauan dan segala perbuatan jahat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maka dari itu, penting sekali bagi kita untuk memurnikan hati, belajar mensyukuri segala sesuatunya, dan mengendalikan dengki.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga perdamaian senantiasa tercipta jika di diri setiap orang berusaha mengendalikan diri.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Sebab di mana ada iri hati dan mementingkan diri sendiri<\/span>\u00a0di situ ada kekacauan dan segala macam perbuatan jahat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

— Yakobus 3:16<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>July 08<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Peace be With Us<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/b><\/span>If the peace is within us, it won’t be too difficult to spread it to the people surround us.<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem is, if inside our heart has never felt that peace, there’s always a war within…<\/span><\/p>\n

It will be very hard to live at peace with others while we never experienced peace ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

May our heart be filled with peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peace be with us.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And\u00a0<\/span>a harvest of righteousness\u00a0<\/span>is sown in peace by those who make peace.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

— James 3:18<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span>Damai Beserta Kita<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>Jika kedamaian itu ada di dalam diri kita, agaknya tidak begitu sulit untuk menyebarkannya kepada sekitar kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

Masalahnya, jika dalam diri kita sendiri tak pernah damai, selalu terjadi pertempuran di dalam hati…<\/span><\/p>\n

Akan begitu sulit untuk hidup damai dengan orang lain sementara dalam diri sendiri belum selesai.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga diri kita dipenuhi kedamaian.<\/span><\/p>\n

Salam damai.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/div>\n

Memang kebaikan adalah hasil dari benih damai yang ditabur oleh orang yang cinta damai!<\/span><\/p>\n

— Yakobus 3:18<\/span><\/p>\n
