God Is Love<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

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

When God created us, He created us out of love. There is no other explanation because God is love. And He has created us to love and to be loved. If we could remember that all the time, there would be no wars, no violence, no hatred in the world. So beautiful. So simple.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

(Where There is Love, There Is God- Mother Teresa)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

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

It’s such a relief to read this.<\/span><\/p>\n

If only we could realize that we’re no coincidence neither accident.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our presence in this world-however we might be rejected from our closest kin, even our parents- was being permitted by God who loves us.<\/span><\/p>\n

If we can understand this, for sure, we know the feeling of being loved.<\/span><\/p>\n

And hopefully, with the love that we’ve already experienced, we’ll be able to spread to the people surround us.<\/span><\/p>\n

To this world.<\/span><\/p>\n

God is love.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of His Love, we’re here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s taste and share His love to this world.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.<\/span><\/p>\n

— 1 Yohanes 4:8<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Allah adalah Kasih<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

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

Ketika Tuhan menciptakan kita, Dia menciptakan kita atas dasar kasih. Tidak ada penjelasan lain karena Allah adalah kasih. Dan, Dia sudah menciptakan kita untuk mengasihi dan dikasihi. Jika kita bisa mengingat itu sepanjang waktu, tidak akan ada peperangan, kekerasan, kebencian di dunia ini. Begitu indah. Begitu sederhana.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

(dari buku Where There is Love, There is God – Bunda Teresa).<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

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

Sungguh suatu siraman yang melegakan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jika terus kita sadari bahwa kita bukanlah suatu kebetulan apalagi kecelakaan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kehadiran kita di dunia, \u00a0yang walaupun mungkin ditolak oleh orang terdekat termasuk orangtua, adalah atas seizin Allah yang mengasihi kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jika kita mengerti akan hal ini, tentunya kita akan merasa dikasihi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dan semoga dengan kasih yang kita terima, bisa kita sebarkan pula kepada sesama.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kepada dunia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Allah adalah kasih.<\/span><\/p>\n

Karena kasih-Nya kita hadir ke dunia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mari bersama-sama menikmati dan berbagi keindahan kasih Allah kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

Orang yang tidak mengasihi, tidak mengenal Allah; sebab Allah adalah kasih.<\/span><\/p>\n
