When you are a leader, you are responsible for things that aren’t your fault, if can’t take the pressure of people thinking you are wrong you shouldn’t be leading.
If you have to throw your people under the bus to make sure everyone knows it wasn’t your fault, you a poor, cowardly leader.
If you want loyal people, than cover their weakness and empower their strenghts.

Hi Pastor J.S, so my question is: How can I accept myself being introvert? That’s my personality, but sometimes inside and outside the church, people seem to make jokes about it, saying that I’m to shy or I’ve never talked and so on. Sometimes I feel sad about that and it really affects me emotionally. I know I have to adapt in those kind of situations, but how can I accomplish that?
Hey dear friend and fellow introvert! Alas, we have found one another.
I’ve learned two things over time about being introverted:
1) I love being an introvert. Really. I’m happy to be who I am.
2) I don’t have to let the label “introvert” make decisions for me or to wholly define me.
I think no matter where you go, whether you’re an introvert or Christian or irreligious or you’re part of twelve fandoms…

I’ve always had trouble approaching someone with a fragile ego, because I know if I say anything disagreeable or honest, they’ll defend themselves like crazy with a million excuses or throw insults or throw things off the desk or make ugly-cry-face and cut me off for a month.
I know this because it’s me too. It’s hard to hear the truth about yourself. It’s hard to confront the ugliness inside.
But confronting yourself is the only way to be truly liberated from the lies we believe. Without rebuke, we’re left sauntering in an unseen momentum of darkness that threatens to destroy us by a gradual downhill fade. The most dangerous way to die is slowly, unaware, in descent.
A few years ago, one of my best friends was messing up with something. No one else knew but me. It probably wasn’t a big deal, and no one would’ve been…

Hi, I have a question for you based on what I read from another post. It said, “If the voice is God?s all three will agree: 1. The Word of the LORD in the Bible. 2. The Word of the Spirit in our hearts. 3. The circumstances of our lives, which have been arranged by God. All three must point one way; it is never enough for any two of them to be taken as showing God?s will.? Do you agree or disagree with that statement (scripture references)?
Anonymous asked:
Hey J.S.! How do you know if what you’re doing is part of God’s plan? How am I supposed to know I’m doing the right thing? I just applied for an internship for my favorite company and I’m anxious. Will I get it? Do I simply wait and trust God? Does He approve of it? If not…

Hari ini merupakan hari yang kering buat aku, hati ini terasa begitu penuh beban berat, karena saat merasa begitu banyak tanggung jawab yang harus di lakukan dengan keadaan tubuh yang tidak fit, lebih parah lagi tidak ada gairah dalam mengerjakan apapun. Justru merasa hidup begitu monoton.
Dengan perasaan monoton ini , aku mendengarkan lagu “Mujizat adalah” yang benar memberi kesegaran pada hati yang kering ini.
benar sungguh terbatas kuasaku, pengharapanku hanya seturut yang kulihat. perasaan monoton ini terjadi mengikuti keadaan yang kulihat.
Saat sampai pada baris mujizat adalah warna, aku tahu keadaan ku saat ini harus di lihat dari duniaNya, bukan dari duniaku. Dimana Mujizat adalah mungkin, menjadikan yang ada dari yang tidak ada. Menjadikan yang kelihatan tidak ada pengharapan menjadi berpengharapan.
lagu ini benar membangkitkan semangat ku, membangkitkanku dari lembah maut. I’m so blessed. Diharapkan buat yang tidak memiliki pengharapan, saat mendengarkan lagu ini juga menjadi berpengharapan
Mujizat adalah
Sungguh terbatas kuasaku
pengharapanku sturut yang kulihat
Hingga ku masuk ke hadiratMu, Kau tunjukkan duniaMu
dimana batas sirna mujizat adalah warna
Reff:
MujizatMu membuat yang ada , dari yang tak ada
MujizatMu sanggup membatalkan niat musuh musuhku
membangkitkanku dari lembah maut
Oleh mujizatMu aku sembuh

ketika keinginan kita untuk membenarkan diri muncul lebih besar
dari pada keinginan untuk menunjukkan kasih Yesus,
maka tidak di pungkiri kita akan memperlakukan orang lain
dengan sikap menghakimi, tidak respek dan kasar

Since my leader give us his burden for Indian ethnic, to lead an Indian ethnic in a cell group (a special cell group with all Indian ethnic ), I pray that such of love for Indian ethnic which my leader has will be born in my heart too.
Literally I’m Indonesian Chinese, who don’t know anything about Indian ethnic and don’t have any ability to build the new cell group. If I use my mind to think how to build this new community, this will be hard thing I will ever done.
The only thing I can do is to pray for love for Indian ethnic to be born in my heart, I need just to love them, to show that they are my family in Christ, to show that their are important for me. For this time being, only love that I can share. Although I know I can not love like Jesus love them, but I’m sure , Jesus will be my guide to share His love through me.
The whole nature of relationship is that you cannot control it. All you can control is your free choice to love others and receive their love. When you make this choice , freedom grows and fear goes. The sign that you really have love in your relationships is that you and the people around you are free and are not scared @dannyleesilk
