"It is never too late to start all over again with the Lord"

Jeremiah 15:19, Thus says the LORD, "If you return, then I will restore you.

No matter how far you have gone from the Lord, no matter how many bad and evil sins you may have committed against Him, He will still take you back and start all over again – no matter your age, and no matter how bad your current condition is.  Our God is a God of second chances. God loves to take His people back when they return to Him in repentance. He will build them up and fully restore them, and  place them on the path of His perfect will for their lives. It is never too late to start all over again with the Lord.

I cry all night long because of this article.. It's never too late to start all over again with the Lord. :')

"4 Things God wants you to remember when life is hard"

4 Things God Wants You to Remember When Life is Hard:

1. Remember that your Character should always be stronger than your Circumstances.

We can’t always control what happens to us, but we can always control how we choose to respond. In those moments when I choose to stop complaining and instead give thanks to God for the good in my life, the parts that seem bad start to seem much less significant. Choose to keep a positive attitude and thankful heart regardless of what you’re going through.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

2. Remember that your Struggles always lead to Strength.

Every difficulty in your life, whether big or small, is something God will use to produce more strength, faith and perseverance in you if you let Him! All your pain has a purpose.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

3. Remember that God’s timing is always perfect.

God’s plans are almost always different from our plans, but His plans are always perfect! Have the patience to wait on His timing instead of forcing your own.

“For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord; plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

4. Remember that God will never leave your side.

You may feel like you’re going through this struggle all alone, but from the moment you ask Jesus to bring you into God’s family, He will be by your side to the end so never lose hope!

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

God bless,

Day 9. "What Makes God Smile?" (The Purpose Driven Life -by Rick Warren)

#ThePurposeDrivenLife-RickWarren

#Day9-"What Makes God Smile?"

"Apa yg Membuat Allah Tersenyum?"

1. Allah tersenyum bila kita mengasihi Dia di ats sglny.

Apa yg plg Allah inginkan dr Anda adlh sbh hub.★

2. Allah tersenyum ktk kita mempercayai Dia spnhnya.

Mempercayai Allah spnhnya brrt memiliki iman bhw Dia tahu apa yg terbaik bg khdpn Anda.★

3. Allah tersenyum ktk kita menaati Dia dgn spnh hati.

Menaati Allah dgn sgnp hati, itu brrti mngrjkn apapun yg Allah minta tnp KEENGGANAN / KERAGUAN. Anda melakukannya tnp PENUNDAAN. Stp orgtua tahu bhw ketaatan yg ditunda sbtlnya mrpkn ketidaktaatan.★

4. Allah tersenyum bila kita memuji & bersyukur kpd-Nya trs menerus.

Suatu hal yg mengagumkan trjd ktk kita memberikan pujian & ucpn syukur kpd Allah. Ktk kita memberi Allah kesukaan, HATI kita sndr dipenuhi dgn SUKACITA!★

5. Allah trsenyum bila kita menggunakan kemampuan kita.

Anda tdk mendatangkan kemuliaan / kesenangan bg Allah dgn menyembunyikan kemampuan2 Anda / dgn berusaha mjd org lain.★

Happy Sunday, Tuhan memberkati..♥

Day 8. "You Were Planned for God's Pleasure" (The Purpose Driven Life-by Rick Warren)

#ThePurposeDrivenLife-RickWarren

#Day8- "You Were Planned for God's Pleasure"

"Anda direncanakan bg kesenangan Allah"

Pd saat Anda dilahirkan ke dunia, Allah ada di sana sbg SAKSI yg tak trlihat & trsenyum ats kelahiran Anda. Dia ingin Anda hidup, & klhrn Anda memberi-Nya kesenangan bsr.♥

Mendatangkan kegembiraan bg Allah & hdp bg kesenangan-Nya adlh TUJUAN PERTAMA hdp Anda.★

Sgl perbuatan Anda yg mendatangkan kesenangan bg Allah mrpkn tndkn PENYEMBAHAN.★

1. Penyembahan jauh lbh dr skdr musik.

Pymbhn tdk ada kaitannya dgn gaya/ volume/kcptn lagu. Allah menyukai semua jns musik krn Dia menciptakan semuanya. Tp jk lagu itu diprsmbhkn kpd Allah dlm roh&kebenaran, itulah tndkn pymbhn.★

2. Penyembahan bkn utk kepentingan Anda.

Jk Anda brkata, "Sy tdk mndpt apapun dr pymbhn hr ini," Anda menyembah utk alsn yg keliru. Pymbhn bkn bg Anda, melainkan bg Allah.★

3. Penyembahan adlh khdpn Anda.

PUJIAN shrsnya mrpkn aktivitas PRTM ktk Anda mmbuka mata di pg hr & aktivitas TERAKHIR ktk Anda menutup mata pd mlm hr.★

God bless.. ❤️

Day 7. "The Reason for Everything" (The Purpose Driven Life -by RickWarren)

#ThePurposeDrivenLife-RickWarren

#Day7-"The Reason for Everything"

"Alasan utk Sgl Sesuatu"

Sbb sgl ssuatu berasal dr Allah, & hdp oleh kuasaNya & utk kemuliaanNya. -Roma 11:36

Hdp bg kemuliaan Allah adlh PRESTASI trbsr yg bs kita capai dr khdpn kita.★

Kita mendatangkan KEMULIAAN bg Allah dgn:

1. MenyembahNya.

Allah ingin agr penyembahan kita dimotivasi oleh KASIH, SYUKUR & SUKACITA, bukan KEWAJIBAN.

2. Mengasihi org2 prcy lainnya.

Ktk Anda lahir baru, Anda mjd bgn dr klrg Allah, bljr mengasihi & menerima 1 akn yg lain, sm sprt Kristus jg tlh menerima km.

3. Mjd sprt Kristus.

Dia ingin agr kita bertumbuh menuju kedewasaan rohani, yaitu mjd serupa dgn Kristus dlm cara BERPIKIR, MERASA & BERTINDAK.

4. Melayani org lain dgn karunia2 kita.

Msg2 kita diciptakan unik. Anda slg dihubungkan bukanlah kebetulan. Allah tdk memberi Anda talenta utk tujuan egois, tp utk kebaikan org lain.

5. Memberitakan kpd org lain ttg Dia.

Allah tdk ingin KEBENARAN ttgNya, KASIH & TUJUAN2Nya disimpan sbg rahasia.

Tuhan memberkati♥

Day 6. "Life Is A Temporary Assignment" (The Purpose Driven Life -byRick Warren)

#ThePurposeDrivenLife-RickWarren

#Day6- "LIfe Is a Temporary Assignment"

"Kehidupan adlh Suatu Penugasan Sementara"

Utk memanfaatkan khdpn Anda scr maksimal, Anda jgn prnh melupakan 2 kebenaran:

1. Dibandingkan dgn Kekekalan, khdpn amatlah singkat.

2. Bumi hanyalah t4 kediaman sementara. Anda tdk akan lama berada di sini, jd JGN TERLALU TERIKAT pd bumi.

Kehidupan BERKELIMPAHAN tdk ada kaitannya dgn kelimpahan materi; dan KESETIAAN kpd Allah tdk menjamin keberhasilan dlm karier/pelayanan. Jd, jgn prnh memusatkan perhatian pd mahkota2 yg sementara. ★

Bg Allah, 'Pahlawan2 iman' yg plg bsr bukanlah org2 yg mencapai kemakmuran, keberhasilan, dan kuasa di dlm khdpn ini. Melainkan org2 yg memperlakukan khdpn ini sbg suatu Penugasan sementara dan melayani dgn setia. ★

"Sebab kami tdk memperhatikan yg kelihatan, melainkan yg tak kelihatan, krn yg kelihatan adlh sementara, sdgkn yg tak kelihatan adlh kekal." -2Kor 4:18

Tuhan memberkati..♥
