Love back to life

I’m reading a book who written by Sheila Walsh (‘Love back to life : how I found the courage to life free”).  I found out some paragraph and poems that meant to me a lot.
Chapter 5 : why are you afraid ?

“I am learning that what God cares about is who I am when the lights are off and the crowds has gone home.  This truth also means that whatever comes into my life,  whether it is what I would choose or not, can be used by The Lord to mold my life if I will trust HIM.”

this below paragraph  teach me to handle my anger and hatred. Sometimes it is hard for me to go through the bad feeling that happens inside me  when I get hurt from family member especially the one you put trust on.   in this paragraph, Sheila teach me to give all hurt to my shepherd “my Jesus”

“I am learning now to trust the shepherd to be my defender.  For me it is a daily, sometimes hourly, relinquishing of control of my life and my destiny to God. When I feel myself getting angry now, I take a step back. I go into another room by myself, sit at the shepherd’s feet, and tell Him what I am feeling. When I forget to do that or choose not to do that, I ask for forgiveness.  I do not take this lightly. It is no fun to be the recipient of my anger.  Scripture, in fact, tell us to avoid such people (proverbs 22:24).  Though this year, the anger has subsided as I have  consciously brought all the broken pieces of my life to Christ. It is one thing to feel as if power has been taken from you as a defenseless child. It is quite another to gladly surrender is as an adult to a risen Savior”

the Poems she wrote :

I never knew You lived so close to the floor,
but every time I bowed down,
crush by this weight of grief,
I feel Your hand on my head,
Your breath on my cheek,
Your tears on my neck,
You never tell me to pull myself together,
to stem the flow of many years,
You simply stay by my side,
for as long as it takes, 
so close to the floor.

need more love

 

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

Love for Indian Ethnic

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

 

About My Six Month Break-Up With My Wife

J.S Park said :”
Though I couldn’t possibly give all that I learned from the six month break-up, I can tell you two things for sure.

1) I had to learn not to accuse my partner over her issues, but to focus on my own wrong first. Whenever we argued before, I would always blame-shift (and she did too). Eventually, I made it a habit to call myself out even when I was right, and we would meet in the middle about our differences.

2) This will sound obvious, but I needed to learn to “draw from God” more than my partner. My wife (it’s so cool that I can call her that now!) cannot be everything I need her to be all the time. It’s such a dangerous, unfair, toxic, soul-killing concept to make her my entire source of happiness. We don’t consciously want to do this, but it happens in marriages all the time. When I can be led by Christ and draw my primary love from Him and even love Him more, than I can rightly love my wife with all that Christ has given me.

takeeacy asked a question:

Hi Joon! After reading about how you and your fiancee had taken a 6 month break for your relationship, I was really curious about how that panned out. My girlfriend/ex and I are currently going through a break to refocus on God, and I wondered if you had any advice to give on this or have any experiences/lessons to share. Thanks!

Hey there dear friend. I actually talk about this in a bit of detail in my book on dating.

Though I couldn’t possibly give all that I learned from the six month break-up, I can tell you two things for sure.

Hurt

lately I learn a lot about how to love people that always hurt you again and again, how not to let bitterness fill your heart when anger, disappointment, hatred and hurt take place in my heart.

I found my heart healing the His presence (the awesome God “Jesus Christ”). when I come to His presence & poured out all my hurt in His presence, when I gave my broken heart to HIM, I found He with His amazing love heal me. I found peace, the kind of peace that stay in my heart. It is like healing oil pour into my heart & heal my broken heart.

When you try to love someone that always hurt you, we really need Jesus love first to fill our heart. We absolutely can not do that without Jesus Love in our heart. Only Jesus who can love with His amazing love for someone who hurt Him & only He who understand about the hurting heart & only Jesus can heal our hurting heart.

I really thank you for everything that Jesus done in my life. Without Him, I’m nothing. Without Him, I’m ashes. Jesus is everything, He bring beauty from the ashes.

A Reason to Love Again

this is really amazing story…  hope you will be blessed after reading

You never know what you’ve got until it’s gone. How many times had she heard that old cliché and thought nothing of it? It had never meant anything to her, but now that the words struck a chord inside her, maybe there was some truth to it after all.

Now, a year after her entire life felt as if it came to a screeching halt, Becca sat alone in her empty house with nothing but memories of a love forever gone. Oh, what she wouldn’t do to have her beloved husband—dear, sweet man that he was—here with her. Todd was the man of her dreams, her knight in shining armor. They had met their freshman year of college and instantly Becca had fallen in love with tall, handsome Todd Mathewson. He was everything she had wanted and more—kind, responsible, and courteous, always opening doors for her and giving her flowers “just because.” This had even continued during their marriage, from the day they said their vows to the terrible day Todd had died in a tragic car accident. When news came to her that her husband had been killed by a careless driver, Becca had been grieved and enraged that such a man could walk away without even a scratch when Todd died. She had sworn never to forgive that hateful man who had taken her husband’s life. Not in a million years.

The sound of the doorbell startled Becca out of her reveries and she stood, wondering just who could be coming to visit. When she opened the door, however, there was no one there. “Hello?” she called. But there was no answer. Shrugging, she was just about to go back inside when she noticed an envelope lying on the door mat. “Where did this come from?” she wondered aloud, stooping to pick it up. There was no return address on the front, which she found odd; the least someone could have done was leave their name. She opened the envelope, unfolded the paper that was inside, and began reading…..
