Meet Bars and Melody. Duo rapper yang beranggotakan Leondre dan Charlie.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Kembali ke tahun 2014, mereka berpartisipasi dalam ajang Britain’s Got Talent.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Leondre mengalami masa-masa yang cukup berat di hidupnya, padahal dia baru duduk di bangku SD.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dia di-bully teman-temannya dan itu membuatnya sangat terbeban.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Melalui musik rap ini, dia menemukan kesembuhan juga sebuah ruang untuk berekspresi.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sampai Simon Cowell menekan ‘golden buzzer’ dan memberikan mereka tempat di semifinal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Walaupun tidak menjadi pemenang pertama, mereka tetap mendapatkan kontrak musik dan kini memiliki album sendiri.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mari kita belajar dari pengalaman mereka.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mereka yang masih kecil dan terbilang kanak-kanak, mampu mengubah kesulitan hidup menjadi suatu keadaan yang lebih baik.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mereka menjadi lebih baik (better), ketimbang menjadi pahit (bitter) dalam hidupnya.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So, will hardship make us bitter or better?<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I do hope that we could choose wisely and of course it’s for the better!<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga di tiap problematika kehidupan yang kita hadapi, kita memilih untuk menjadi pemenang. Menjadi lebih baik.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Karena Tuhan senantiasa menyertai di setiap langkah, Dia takkan meninggalkan kita sendirian.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dia dengan kekuatan-Nya mampu mempertahankan kehidupan kita.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga kita memilih mengikuti jalan keselamatan-Nya!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Waktu aku ditimpa kesusahan, Engkau mempertahankan hidupku. Engkau melawan musuhku yang sedang mengamuk dan Kauselamatkan aku dengan kuasa-Mu.<\/span><\/p>\n

— Mazmur 138:7<\/span><\/p>\n
