God Gives Grace to the Humble<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s not easy to stay humble.<\/span><\/p>\n

Especially when we’re full of fame, wealth, \u00a0or having a great position or role in society.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, we can make a difference by realizing that all of them comes from the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n

If we’re blessed with more wealth than others, we actually can use the wealth to help others in need.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can make this society-make this world a better place to live.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, the choice is in our hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can’t force others to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, let’s remember that God will give grace to the humble.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully, no matter how great we are in this life, we’ll remember the greatest of all who gave us all of this-God Himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for \u201cGod opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

— 1 Peter 5:5<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Allah Mengasihi Orang yang Rendah Hati<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Tidak mudah untuk tetap rendah hati.<\/span><\/p>\n

Terutama ketika kita dipenuhi ketenaran, kekayaan, atau memiliki posisi \/peranan yang besar di masyarakat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tetapi, kita bisa membuat perbedaan dengan menyadari bahwa semua itu berasal dari Tuhan saja.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ketika kita diberkati oleh harta yang lebih banyak dari orang lain, hendaknya kita bisa mempergunakan kekayaan itu untuk membantu mereka yang berkekurangan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Atau setidaknya kita bisa membuat masyarakat ini menjadi lebih baik, membangun sebuah dunia yang lebih baik untuk ditinggali bagi kita semua.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tentu saja pilihannya ada di tangan kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kita tidak pernah bisa memaksa orang lain untuk melakukannya.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marilah kita ingat bahwa Allah mengasihi orang yang rendah hati.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga, tak peduli seberapa hebat kita di dalam hidup ini, kita terus ingat yang PALING hebat yang memberikan ini semua bagi kita-Tuhan sendiri.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Begitu juga Saudara, orang-orang muda. Tunduklah kepada orang-orang yang tua. Saudara semuanya harus merendahkan diri dan saling melayani dengan rendah hati. Sebab dalam Alkitab tertulis begini, “Allah menentang orang yang sombong, tetapi mengasihani orang yang rendah hati.”<\/span><\/p>\n

— 1 Petrus 5:5<\/span><\/p>\n
