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

Always be Joyful<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

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

This verse seems impossible if we always use our own strength to walk in this life.<\/span><\/p>\n

How can it be? To be always joyful?<\/span><\/p>\n

Since this life is full of ups and downs…<\/span><\/p>\n

And whenever we’re on the down sides, it seems that really hard to go on…<\/span><\/p>\n

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

With God as the source of hope and our strength, it’s POSSIBLE to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n

Life might bring us some bad things that we should experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, there’ll always be some lessons to learn and we can learn to be thankful as well as joyful in it.<\/span><\/p>\n

God is with us, it’s possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Always be joyful.<\/span><\/p>\n

— 1 Thessalonians 15:16<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Bersukacita Senantiasa<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

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

Ayat ini seolah menjadi suatu hal yang mustahil jika kita selalu mengandalkan kekuatan sendiri dalam hidup ini.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bagaimana mungkin? Untuk selalu bersukacita?<\/span><\/p>\n

Bukankah hidup ini penuh naik-turun?<\/span><\/p>\n

Dan ketika kita sedang berada pada posisi ‘turun’, rasanya begitu sulit untuk melangkah di hidup ini…<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Bersama Tuhan sebagai sumber harapan dan kekuatan kita, adalah mungkin untuk melakukannya…<\/span><\/p>\n

Kehidupan mungkin membawa kita kepada beberapa hal yang kurang mengenakkan yang harus kita jalani.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tetapi, selalu ada pelajaran yang bisa kita petik dan kita bisa terus belajar bersyukur dan bersukacita di dalamnya.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tuhan beserta kita, itu semua adalah mungkin.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

Bersukacitalah senantiasa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Never Stop Praying<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

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

God hears us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, we might be filled with so much doubt, does He still care for us?<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s direct our hearts to the Lord…<\/span><\/p>\n

Never stop praying…<\/span><\/p>\n

Even in all relationship got its own ups and downs…<\/span><\/p>\n

May our relationship with Him be renewed always.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe it’s our tears, when words couldn’t be spoken.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, we still believe that He knows our burders.<\/span><\/p>\n

And He still cares for us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s keep praying to the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

Never stop praying.<\/span><\/p>\n

— 1 Thessalonians 5:17<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Berdoalah Senantiasa<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

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

Tuhan mendengarkan kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saat-saat tertentu, terkadang kita menjadi ragu, apa Dia masih peduli pada kita?<\/span><\/p>\n

Mari terus mengarahkan hati kita kepada Allah.
\nBerdoa senantiasa…<\/span><\/p>\n

Walaupun sebagaimana segala relasi memiliki naik-turunnya…<\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga relasi kita dengan-Nya senantiasa diperbaharui…<\/span><\/p>\n

Mungkin itu berupa tangisan, saat kata tak lagi bisa terucapkan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Namun, satu keyakinan, Dia mengetahui segala beban kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dan Dia peduli pada kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tetaplah berdoa kepada-Nya.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

dan berdoalah senantiasa.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Hold Fast to That Which is Good<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

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

This world might offer a lot of things that being considered as something good and it makes us question one more time: which one is the good one?<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s so normal, while walking in this life, we might face some confusion.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, let’s hold on only to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and God Himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

The good ones, should come to God’s kindness and love.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully, even in the midst of the progress of this fast-track world, we keep on holding firmly to the faith in God.
\n(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

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

But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;<\/span><\/p>\n

— 1 Thessalonians 5: 21<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Peganglah yang Baik<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

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

Banyak yang ditawarkan dunia sebagai sesuatu yang baik dan itu membuat kita kembali bertanya-tanya: manakah yang sebenarnya baik?<\/span><\/p>\n

Sungguh wajar saat berjalan di kehidupan ini, kita pernah mengalami kebimbangan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Namun, marilah berpegang hanya kepada tuntutan Roh Kudus dan bimbingan Allah saja.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yang baik, tentunya yang berasal dari kebaikan dan kasih Allah saja.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga di tengah seluruh perkembangan zaman ini, kita tetap berpegang teguh di dalam iman kepada-Nya.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

Ujilah segala sesuatu\u00a0\u00a0dan peganglah yang baik.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

— 1 Tesalonika 5:21<\/span><\/p>\n
